A 4-week junior high series on identity, where we dive into big (and sometimes confusing) questions like:
- Who am I, really? And who do I want to be?
- Who is God calling me to be?
- How do others see me?
- How does God see me (spoiler: it’s awesome), and why does it matter?
- What makes me unique?
This series is like a mirror for students - except instead of checking their hair, they are checking their heart.
The series theme verse is Ephesians 2:10:
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

In this series, middle schoolers will uncover some big-time truths, like:
- The way you see yourself? Yep, it totally shapes who you’re becoming. So maybe it’s time to stop calling yourself “just average” and start owning your awesomeness.
- Your future self is being built right now—brick by brick—with every choice you make. Choose wisely... or at least, choose candy wisely.
- But guess what? God’s opinion matters way more than that random kid in 3rd period.
- Spoiler alert: God didn’t make you a copy of someone else. He loaded you up with custom gifts and a one-of-a-kind purpose.
This series, like all our resources, is a downloadable item.
