Life Essentials
SHORTER EPISODES THAT CAN BE RUN IN ANY ORDER, AND IN UNDER 20 MINUTES
Life Essentials is a collection of short videos designed for teenagers to spark faith conversations with their friends.
This series was created as a bridging tool, a “Pre-Alpha Youth” series. An entire Life Essentials session can be run in under 20 minutes, and each episode explores topics around identity, purpose, belonging and faith. It’s designed for young people to run with their friends and it’s 100% free! All you need to do is provide the snacks.
Life Essentials is not a shortcut but a doorway to Alpha Youth. It’s a resource young people can use to gather their friends around a table and talk about anything from screen time to forgiveness to who Jesus is. It’s short and sweet but chock full of questions that spark deep discussions around faith. What’s not to love about that?
