The Making OfSample

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SPEND TIME WITH OTHERS

The people in our lives can have a big impact on our faith—and we can have a big impact on other people's faith too. But that doesn't happen by accident. Today's challenge is going to help you connect with at least one other person in a way that helps you (or maybe even both of you) grow!

CHALLENGE

For this challenge, grab a few friends and create a prayer channel in an app like GroupMe, Discord, or another network. Use it as a place to talk about what needs prayer, to follow up on requests, and to encourage one another. Set up a time once a month to pray together. It could be before a sports practice, before school, or any time you tend to be gathered. Don't feel like you have to cover every request in person—you could stick to one or two-sentence prayers during these times. When you pray for someone, shoot them a note to let them know you were praying for them that day.
