An overview of each session



Session 1 | I Am Special, Safe, And Accepted

When Adam and Eve were created, they had life in all its fullness. God met all their needs. They were perfectly accepted, safe, and significant. When they chose to sin, they lost their relationship with God. The result for us is that we are born with a huge need for acceptance, security, and significance. Jesus came to give us back that life we lost. Our new identity in Jesus means we have the acceptance, security, and significance that Adam and Eve lost.

Session 2 | I Am A New Creation

The Bible makes it clear that, because of what Jesus has done for us, we are new creations in Christ. Knowing that we are children of God who can come boldly into God’s presence changes everything.

Session 3 | I Can Trust Father God

Everyone lives by faith, even those who are not Christians. It’s who or what we put our faith in that determines whether or not it will be effective. As Christians, it’s essential that what we believe is in agreement with what God has revealed in His Word.

Session 4 | I Can Choose To See Things As God Says They Really Are

Depending on where they were brought up, children will have learned to look at the world in a particular way that seems right to them. But is it? We need to teach children to stop looking at the world in that way and start seeing it from God’s perspective.

Session 5 | I Can Make Good Choices With God’s Help

Christians have a new heart and a new spirit, but we still struggle with many of the unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving to which we’ve grown accustomed. This session shows children that we can choose to live as God wants us to, being led by the Holy Spirit.

Session 6 | I Can Choose To Have Good Thoughts That Come From God

Becoming a Christian does not instantly change the way we have learned to think, but we can demolish strongholds – by which we mean strong, embedded thought patterns – by choosing actively to renew our minds according to the truth of God’s Word.

Session 7 | I Am Protected Because God Is Stronger Than Anything

It’s important to understand that we are in a spiritual battle, which makes dismantling strongholds less straightforward than if it were simply a question of learning to think differently. Every day children face a battle for their minds – often our very education system undermines a Biblical worldview. However, understanding this, knowing that we have a spiritual enemy, and recognizing that we have an amazing position in Christ will equip us to win.

Session 8 | I Can Have Peace Because God Will Help Me Whatever I’m Feeling

There are feelings and then there is the truth. They are not always related. In this session we will look at how, the more we commit ourselves to the truth and choose to believe that what God says is true, the less our feelings will run away with us.

Session 9 | I Can Forgive Others

Learning to forgive from the heart sets us free from our past and heals our emotional pain. It’s not easy but it is essential. This session will take some time exploring this and giving children opportunity to truly forgive.

Freedom Trail | The Steps To Freedom In Christ For Children

This is the main “ministry” component of the course. You will have the opportunity to lead children through the gentle age-appropriate Steps To Freedom In Christ. They will go step-by-step (hence the idea of a “trail”) through prayers inviting God to show them stuff they need to deal with, say sorry, and turn their back on it. It’s about submitting to God and resisting the devil (James 4:7), reconnecting with God’s love, and assuming responsibility for their walk with Him. This should be done after Session 9 or 10.

Session 10 | I Can Live Every Day Walking In God’s Truths

Growth in maturity depends on the extent to which children continue to renew their minds and learn to distinguish good from evil. We aim to equip them to do just that.
