With Every Breath draws us into the reality that the breath of God has always brought life, renewal, and transformation. From creation to the prophets to Pentecost, Scripture reveals a God who moves through breath, wind, and Spirit.
In a world where so many teens feel anxious, distracted, and overwhelmed, this theme reminds us that God is nearer than they realize. The Holy Spirit is not distant or reserved for extraordinary moments. He is present now—moving in ordinary moments, quiet prayers, daily surrender, and every breath we are given.
Every breath is a gift.
Every breath is grace.
Every breath is an invitation.
With Every Breath calls teens and leaders to slow down, recognize the Spirit already at work, and live with a deeper awareness of God’s presence each day. It is an invitation to notice the Spirit in daily life, surrender control and trust His movement, move from anxiety to peace, and from striving to surrender.
Our hope is not only that young people learn about the Holy Spirit, but that they encounter Him personally—and discover that when the Spirit moves, everything changes.
With Every Breath merchandise will be available for purchase at all Life Teen summer events and online on June 12, 2026.
Available for Life Teen Subscribers on June 1, 2026
“Fire Within” helps teens understand that the Holy Spirit is not just a nice add-on to our faith. He is the light that guides us, the breath that animates us, the fire that purifies and inflames us, and the power that enables us to carry out our mission on earth. Teens will leave this retreat with the conviction that the Holy Spirit is the fire within them, transforming them and leading them to live a life that glorifies God.
“Charged” invites middle school youth to cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit as a teacher in faith and companion in life. Through this Edge Series, youth learn who the Holy Spirit is and how to tap into the gifts and fruits of the Spirit to live holy lives and share the Good News.
A photographer strives for the great shot, but this is only part of the story. Once the image has been captured on film, it undergoes a development process that can only be done in the darkroom. This retreat presents the Holy Spirit as the ultimate photographer, striving to develop each of us into an image that conforms closely to Jesus Christ through a process that help us access gifts, celebrate fruits, and live out our faith.
Each year, Life Teen chooses a theme to unite our organization around one clear spiritual focus. It helps us respond to what teens and leaders need most in this moment while proclaiming the timeless truth of the Gospel in a fresh, relevant way. It also gives language to the movement of God in a particular season and creates a shared focus that can be experienced across camps, conventions, parish ministry, resources, and everyday discipleship.
It is our prayer that people anticipate it, leaders use it, teens wear it, and parishes preach it, and that our year is shaped by it.
We would love to work with you to help breath new life into your ministry.
