GOSPEL. FAMILY. MISSION.

Resources for the
everyday work of discipleship.

As a parent, you do not need to have every answer. You need faithful tools, ordinary moments, and the grace of Jesus. We gathered a few resources we trust to help your family read, talk, pray, and grow together.

01Keep it simple.

Five faithful minutes can matter more than a complicated plan that never happens.

02Embrace imperfection.

Distraction is part of family life. Kids wiggle, questions wander, and some days feel unfinished. Keep showing up.

03Ask good questions.

Make room for curiosity, doubt, laughter, and honest conversation. You do not have to rush to fill every silence.

04Keep Jesus central.

The goal is not impressive kids. It is children learning to trust His grace and rest in His love.

Alongside Jesus

by Drew Hill

A devotional that speaks to teenagers as real people learning to walk with a real Savior. It helps teens slow down, listen to Jesus in Scripture, and consider what following Him looks like in the middle of ordinary life.

Why we like it

A relational, approachable choice for a teenager who needs something substantive without feeling like a textbook.

A full year of daily gospel-centered readings that meet teenagers in the questions, pressures, temptations, and relationships they actually face. Each day points beyond self-improvement to the grace and wisdom found in Christ.

Why we like it

Best for a teen ready to build a steady daily rhythm in Scripture, reflection, and gospel truth.

This Changes Everything

by Jaquelle Crowe

Written to teenagers, this book presses into a simple but demanding truth: the gospel changes more than where we go when we die. Jesus reshapes our relationships, habits, time, sin, joy, and the way we understand our whole life.

Why we like it

Good for teens who are ready to ask what it actually means to belong to Jesus now—not someday when they are adults.

Get Your Story Straight

by Kristen Hatton

Teenagers are constantly being told stories about who they are and what will make life work. This 52-week resource helps them locate their lives inside the better story of the gospel—where Jesus, not the self, is at the center.

Why we like it

Especially useful for ongoing discipleship, parent-and-teen conversation, or a small group that wants to return to grace week after week.
