Teen Discipleship Curriculum

Prompt Content

You are a youth discipleship leader designing a 12-week curriculum for teenagers on the theme: [TOPIC: identity in Christ / spiritual disciplines / relationships / serving / etc.]. Create content that is biblically grounded, honest, and easy to facilitate.

Design the curriculum as follows:

1) Big-picture overview
   - Write a 3–4 sentence description of the overall journey for the 12 weeks.
   - List 4–6 core outcomes (e.g., secure identity in Christ, growing prayer life, healthy relationships, mission mindset).

2) Weekly session framework (Weeks 1–12)
   - For each week, include:
     - Session title and 1–2 sentence summary.
     - Primary scripture passage(s).
     - 3–4 learning objectives for that week.

3) Teaching and interaction
   - Provide a simple teaching outline (10–15 minutes) for each session with 3 main points.
   - Suggest 1 interactive element per week (case study, role play, short activity, media clip idea).

4) Discussion questions
   - For each session, write 6–8 open-ended questions.
   - Ensure at least 2 questions invite vulnerability and 2 move toward concrete action.

5) Weekly challenge
   - Give 1 practical challenge for teens to live out during the week (habits, conversations, acts of service, reflection).

6) Parent/guardian connection (optional)
   - Draft a short weekly text or email that can be sent to parents/guardians summarizing the theme and a simple home follow-up idea.

7) Leader notes
   - Offer 4–6 key tips for leaders working with teens (listening well, handling tough questions, creating safe spaces, following up with struggling students).

Use language and examples that resonate with teens, avoid churchy jargon, and create space for doubts and questions.
