If it seems like students are doing more today than they ever have before, it's because well they are. Everyone is busy and your students are no exception. In this series, Simply Your Life, Doug Fields takes a look at how the abundance of things to do slowly saps away any time we may have to spend developing the most important relationship - our relationship with Jesus and the people most important to us.
Subtitled Making Space for Greatness, this series will help you challenge your students in how they prioritize their time. And it will help them develop healthy priorities that will have a positive impact on their spiritual, school and home life (you'll probably learn a lot too since youth workers are crazy-busy and Doug taught this series to the adults at Saddleback Church).
Packed with Doug's humor, real-life stories and illustrations, this three weeks series breaks down as such...
Week 1: Why Do I Say "Yes?" (Doug)
Week 2: The Heart of the Matter (Saddleback teaching pastor Lance Witt)
Week 3: Taking Action on Busyness (Doug)
Summary: 'The Simple Life' - How 2 say YES to saying No?

Review: The concept for this series is good and can be useful for youth ministry with some modifications. Be mindful the sermons were written for an adult audience. Living 'The Simple Life' is a virtue that many of our students have not heard nor know how to apply to their lives. Utilize this series to teach students to examine their lives and focus their time and talent.
