DOWNLOAD SCOPE AND SEQUENCE

LIVE Daily App

LIVE My New Life With Jesus includes access to the innovative LIVE Daily student app that allows you to pre-schedule and automatically send teenagers “in the moment” prompts and ideas for living out their faith.

Each day’s idea connects to the week's curriculum lesson, and taps into different learning styles that make lessons stick, including serving others, reading Scripture, praying, creatively connecting to Jesus, and worshipping in ways beyond singing songs.

LIVE invites parents to get involved

Because spiritual growth happens best when your ministry efforts merge with life at home, LIVE intentionally helps you connect to parents by inviting them to get involved with what their teenagers are learning each week.

This happens through LIVE's parent email templates that coordinate with your weekly lessons. Each email shares details about the weekly topic with parents, and includes conversation prompts to spark deeper discussion at home.

LIVE’s Online Management Tool

Your purchase of LIVE My New Life With Jesus includes one year of access to LIVE's online management tool (a $99 value).

With LIVE's online management tool, planning has never been easier. Choose which lessons you want to teach from within the tool, and edit or customize them to make them unique to your students. Then assign lessons to small group leaders, share files with your team, schedule LIVE daily texts for students, and access parent email templates. Everything is coordinated and accessible from one dashboard on any device.
