3 Big Questions that Shape Your Future

A 60-day devotional to help teens answer life's biggest questions​​

Sometimes life gives you way more questions than answers. And yet it seems like everyone expects you to just figure it all out! Whether you’re looking toward your future or wrestling to get through today, it doesn’t have to be so stressful. Just 3 big questions will help you find clarity about all the rest:

 

Who am I?
Where do I fit?
What difference can I make?

 

This 60-day exploration breaks down those big questions into manageable pieces and helps you embrace God’s best answers for you.
 

Backed by Scripture and informed by years of conversations with teens just like you, this devotional does more than help you figure out what to do with your life; it will help you understand what your life means to the world.

3 Big Questions that Change Every Teenager

Every teenager is a walking bundle of questions. But at the core live these three:

- Who am I?
- Where do I fit?
- What difference can I make?

Young people struggle to find satisfying and life-giving answers to these questions on their own. They need caring adults willing to lean in with empathy, practice listening, and gently point them in the direction of better answers: that they are enough because of Jesus, they belong with God’s people, and they are invited into God’s greater story.

Based on new landmark research from the Fuller Youth Institute and in-depth interviews with data from 2,200 diverse teenagers, Kara Powell and Brad M. Griffin offer pastors, youth leaders, mentors, and parents practical and proven conversations and connections that help teenagers answer their three biggest questions and reach their full potential.

Praise for 3 Big Questions:

Every youth worker and parent wonders if they really know what’s happening with the teenagers they care about most. 3 Big Questions empowers you to understand young people and, more importantly, equips you with countless practical ideas for what to say and do so they experience Jesus more fully. This is exactly what’s needed to help parents and leaders win with teenagers!

In 3 Big Questions, Kara Powell and Brad Griffin cut through so much of the guesswork and misguided conversations that have made it so much harder to connect with today’s teens. This powerful combination of research, practicality, and intellectual integrity is exactly what church leaders need right now.

As a pastor, I regularly reflect on ways to establish deeper connections with the teenagers who are part of our congregation. As a father of two children, this is always on my heart. This book offers a powerful pathway to make these connections a reality. Kara Powell and Brad Griffin have given us a wonderful gift. Our churches and homes will be profoundly impacted if we begin to intentionally wrestle with the three big questions they present.
