Welcome to an exciting, life-changing journey! The Landing is a place where teenagers can experience freedom, healing, and wholeness. It's an adventure where they will learn how to make wise choices and develop healthy patterns for living. It's a safe haven that will help them overcome life-controlling hurts, hang-ups, and habits—or simply provide insights on following God's path to greater freedom in life. Each week teenagers will meet with other teenagers who are traveling this journey. They'll spend time reading the Bible, discussing real-life topics, searching for answers to challenging situations, and encouraging one another. The student journal will also be their companion for that journey. They can use it to remember the big ideas from each week's lesson, and spend time reading through the weekly devotionals that deliver encouragement and inspiration along the way. The Landing will help them make Jesus the foundation of their lives, avoid or break cycles of dysfunction, and experience God's incredible forgiveness and healing. Get ready for an epic journey!

Jesus is unpredictable, amazing, fierce, radical. In other words, Jesus is something of a rebel. In 99 Thoughts on Jesus-Centered Living, Rick Lawrence draws on his personal journey of faith and his decades of experience as an editor and writer to provide you with insights into the joy of meeting, following, and falling in love with the real Jesus, the rebel Jesus. As you read the pages of this book, you’ll encounter habits for changing the way you relate to Jesus, ideas for pursuing a dependent relationship with him, strategies for moving away from our culture’s false ideas of him, and questions to chew on as you realign your life into a Jesus-centered orbit. When your life truly revolves around Jesus, the people around you will find rescue from pain and worry and hopelessness and emptiness and loneliness and purposelessness. Instead of a boring, predictable exercise, life will become a grand, breathless adventure. And if your orbit comes so close to Jesus that you can see him and taste him and smell him, watch out—your world will change forever.

Explores the revolutionary idea that risk is a foundational requirement, not an optional step, of the true faith walk
 “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” —Matthew 10:39
Christians are longing for more life in their lives, a sense that they’re more present to Jesus and to their own story in the everyday. They’re looking for the answer to the deepest question of human experience: “How do I find the freedom I crave, and become the person I long to be?” Too often, though, they’re scared to risk too much to find the answer—so they simply continue to lead lives of “quiet desperation.”
Rick Lawrence says that’s exactly the problem. We’ve seen too much. We know too much. And so we manage our risk so well that we choke off the very fuel that our soul needs to stay alive. In fact, risk should be a primary aspect of our relationship with Jesus, not the thing we avoid.
In this book, Lawrence argues that if we pay attention to the way Jesus related to people, we discover that he asked every person he ever met to put their “skin in the game”—invest part of themselves. Only then did they find the life they always longed for.
Lawrence asks eight key questions, including: • Will you embrace your shame? • Will you receive grace? • Will you confront your fears? • Will you wait, even when all hope is lost? With a vigorous, fast-paced, and conversational style, he uses these questions plus stories straight from Scripture and pop-culture corollaries to explore the kinds of risks we find in our lives today and how to stop waiting and start going all in for Jesus.
