Events for teens
Steubenville NorCal

Summers can be overwhelming for youth ministers – with so many different events offered that bless the teenage soul, how does a leader discern which opportunities are the best “fit” for the teens in their specific youth group? The good news is that Life Teen has a little something for every teen and every parish.

The 12 People You Meet in the Adoration Chapel

by Courtney Kiolbassa

These are the people you are most likely to meet no matter what chapel you visit.

Fasting: What Your Prayer Life is Missing

by Nick Bernard

I remember thinking, “How in the world is this supposed to make me a better person? I’m not getting any holier by eating fewer churros at lunch!”

What it’s Really Like to Pray for Humility

by Sophia Swinford

I cannot sanctify myself, and, thankfully, that’s not my job. My job is to love my Savior, to ask patiently and persistently for the grace of humility, and to trust that everything—including my sanctification—is in His hands.

Staying Holy: A School Year Game Plan

by Faith Noah

Maybe you function better without the busy-ness of the school year, or maybe a hectic schedule is exactly what you need to get motivated. Regardless, whip out those new ink pens: it’s game (plan) time.

The Do’s and Don’t’s of Praise and Worship

by Julie Lai

Worshiping is all about taking time to not look inward to ourselves, but looking outward to God. It’s about putting God exactly where He belongs in our life — right in the center, lifted up high.

Things to Talk to God About: A Starter Guide for Prayer

by Ryan McQuade

The heart of God is the heart of a father who loves his children and there is nothing that He delights in more than see you, His child, aspire and reach for greatness.
