Real Change for Students : Becoming More Like Jesus in Every Day Life (with Leader's Notes)

Real Change for Students is a practical small group study that helps young adults understand how the gospel brings real change to everyday life and relationships. Built for teenagers who know they need change but are not always sure how it happens, this six-session resource invites participants to look honestly at one area of struggle and explore how God works through his Word to make us more like Jesus. Drawing from the CCEF model of change developed by David Powlison, it helps young adults think biblically about their thoughts, feelings, actions, pressures, and patterns, while showing how Christ meets them with comfort, help, and transforming grace. Designed for small groups and also useful for one-to-one discipleship, Real Change for Students includes leader’s notes, discussion questions, biblical teaching, and a personal change project in a clear, self-contained format. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by a simplified version of CCEF’s “Three Threes” model, it gives students and leaders an accessible tool for understanding how lasting change happens and for applying that truth in the hardest parts of life.
