Get Your Story Straight is a 52-week devotional that invites teens and young adults to step out of a self-centered story and discover the freedom of living in Jesus’s greater story.In a world that constantly tells us to make ourselves the center, this resource gently challenges that mindset by pointing to a better way—one where God is the true hero. Through weekly readings, it explores how our identity, purpose, and hope are transformed when we see our lives as part of the unfolding gospel story, where Jesus meets us, forgives us, and leads us into something far more meaningful than we could create on our own.Organized around the big story of the Bible—from creation onward—this study helps readers understand who Jesus is, why we need him, and how his grace reshapes every part of life. Designed for both personal reflection and group discussion, it equips participants to not only learn the gospel but to live it out, growing in confidence, freedom, and love rooted in Christ.

Face Time is an honest, hope-filled guide that helps teen girls navigate identity, pressure, and comparison by grounding their worth in God’s love.In a world shaped by constant social media influence, Kristen Hatton addresses the real struggles girls face—body image, relationships, performance, and the pressure to measure up. Through relatable, true-to-life stories and clear biblical teaching, she exposes the false solutions many turn to and gently redirects readers toward a deeper, more secure foundation for their identity.Rather than encouraging girls to look within for answers, this engaging and accessible book points them upward—to the God who created them, knows them, and loves them unconditionally. Step by step, readers are guided to recognize lies, embrace truth, and live with confidence and freedom rooted in who they are in Christ.
