Under Pressure: New 4-Week Series

This new 4-week series helps students navigate the pressure to perform at school, in sports and activities, and at home - without tying their worth to the results. This series helps students trust God's presence in the pressures they face, find hope and strength in Jesus, and root their identity in Christ instead of performance.  Heads up! Each lesson in this series includes a reflection activity to help students pause, reflect, and respond to the message.
