Meaningful conversations.
Before your teen walks away from their faith.
So they’re ready to face the inevitable challenges to what they believe.
*according to Pew Research Center and Barna Group
Two-thirds of teenagers walk away from their faith after high school.
We've developed a uniquely engaging program to lead student groups through 7 important faith discussions, so students will have a confident understanding of why they believe what they believe.
Your students have questions and doubts, and sometimes you don’t have all the answers for them. Let us help you. 7x7 Conversations is a discipleship initiative that takes 7 students over 7 weeks through 7 core trainings in God's Word. Group leaders will engage students in deep discussion and personal application, implementing meaningful questions to challenge and help students understand what they believe. Through this model, your students will be moved, mentored, and discipled. Our discipleship initiative will not be a competitor to your youth program, but a complement to what God is already doing in the local church. Building the kingdom is our goal, so let’s do it together!
Our vision is to introduce these core topics of Christianity to help a community of students safely discuss and hash out their faith. Imagine your students being fully engaged in conversations, wanting to know Jesus more, building their faith, obeying His word, and serving others. So why wait? Let’s get started!
“It just works.”
“I was expecting crickets, but was surprised at the depth of conversation.”
“The support is the right amount - not overbearing, but I know they are there.”
“No one judged me for my opinion or lack of knowledge.”
“You don’t have to do any prep for it.”
“I thought it wouldn’t last 30 minutes; I had to stop the conversation at 2 hours!”

Why it works.
7x7 Conversations works because it’s modeled after what Jesus did with his disciples. Jesus and his disciples talked together, connected through questions together, and did life together. Jesus understood that real community and life change happens together.
Beyond that, we know it works because science has confirmed it works. Through the Learning Pyramid, scientists have found that we only retain 5% of what is taught to us in a lecture setting. But we retain 75% of information when it’s taught in an engaging small group discussion and put into practice.
How it works.
7x7 Conversations is a discipleship initiative that takes 7 students over 7 weeks through 7 core trainings in God's Word. The secret ingredient is the thought-provoking questions. Questions that students want to know the answers to. Questions that engage students in deep discussions. Questions that lead to meaningful conversations. In this setting, we also provide a safe space for students to ask questions and find real answers.
We know it works.
We know 7x7 Conversations works because we’ve seen it firsthand. We constantly hear stories from students and leaders who have gone through the discipleship initiative and experienced life change.
We also know it works because of God’s promise in Isaiah 55:11 when He says, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” We believe that God is actively working through 7x7 Conversations so students can have a confident understanding of why they believe what they believe.
