Faith Driven Students

Your teen’s best qualities might also feel like their biggest challenges. Maybe they’re creative but get overwhelmed with too many ideas. Or they’re driven but struggle to slow down. It can feel like a lot to navigate—for them and for you. Without the right tools, your student's amazing gifts can begin to feel like a burden instead of a blessing, leaving them stuck and unsure of who they’re meant to be. But what if instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, your teen understood how to harness those gifts? What if those same qualities could become their superpower, helping them thrive and bring light to the world? That's exactly why we created Faith Driven Students—to help teens discover their unique strengths and learn how to use them for the glory of God. So, get excited! Our inspiring12-video course launches early 2025. It's packed with incredible stories of entrepreneurs who’ve answered God’s call to create. Each lesson is paired with engaging, thought-provoking activities to help your teen see how these principles apply to their own God-given gifts and passions. We're pretty pumped to share it with you! 👊🏽 For more info, tune in to the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast to hear more about our mission and vision from Justin Forman and Lara Casey Isaacson: https://hubs.li/Q02Zyb2N0 Then grab your spot on our email list to be first to know when the course is live.

In his book, Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt explains how experiences help develop growing minds—not simply knowing more “stuff.” And that’s why, at Faith Driven Students, we’re on a mission to help your teen experience new ideas through the eyes of entrepreneurs across the globe, who’ve used their God-given call to create to solve some of the world’s greatest problems. Best of all? Their stories are inspiring *and* educational. 😉 The Faith Driven Students course launches early 2025. Head to our website to get on the list and be first to receive updates!

The third goal of @faithdrivenstudents is to help you and your teen connect over purposeful conversations. Ever wish you had more time for intentionality with your kids? It’s tough because time flies, and “too late” sneaks up faster than we expect. But with our upcoming course, Called to Create, you'll have simple, practical tools for meaningful conversations with your student. You’ll tackle the big questions together—like their dreams, career goals, and what they want their future to look like—while building a stronger connection with them. It’s a chance to slow down, dive deeper, and make the moments you have together truly count. Explore questions and topics like: — Who am I? — How am I called? — Resilience through failure — The power of relationship — Ego and envy — Obedience, integrity, and work ethic matter We're so excited to tell you more about Faith Driven Students in the coming months.

The second goal of @faithdrivenstudents is to help your teen discover businesses around the world that are making a lasting impact. Remember “career day” in elementary school? You’d dress up as a firefighter, doctor, or astronaut, imagining all the cool things you could be when you grew up. Fast forward to now, and most people only consider a few options when choosing a college degree. With barely any real exposure or experience, they spend a fortune on a future they’re unsure about. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Your student needs space to explore, dream, and see all the incredible ways God can use their unique gifts and talents. Let’s give them that chance to figure out their calling before making life-changing decisions. 😉 Use this link to sign up for notifications: https://hubs.li/Q02YvWXZ0.

The first goal of @faithdrivenstudents is to help your teen identify their God-given strengths—and put them to good use! You’ve probably heard of Patrick Lencioni—the guy behind The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and The Ideal Team Player. He’s a New York Times best-seller who’s spent the last few years creating something called the “Working Genius” tool. It’s like a cheat code for figuring out what you’re naturally great at, what you’re decent at, and what burns you out. And now? They’ve made a brand-new version just for students. Think about it—wouldn’t it be awesome to know how your student is wired before you drop thousands of dollars on a college degree they might not even like? Here’s your chance! With every purchase of our upcoming course, Called to Create, your student gains access to this assessment, created in partnership with Lencioni’s team, The Table Group. This could be the first step in helping your student crush it in their next chapter. Interested?

Welcome to Faith Driven Students! We’re on a mission to fire up the next generation of Christian entrepreneurs. You know, the kind of teens who see a problem and think, "Challenge accepted!"—the ones ready to dive in, dream big, and make real change in the world. But let's be honest: it’s tough out there for teens. Every day, they’re bombarded with messages telling them they’re not enough—too young, too inexperienced, too out of touch to make a difference. We’re here to change that narrative and give Christian teens the tools and confidence they need to realize their God-given Call to Create. Faith Driven Students is more than a program—it’s a movement!—and you’re officially part of it. Let’s make this generation the one that sets a new standard for faith-driven entrepreneurship. P.S. Want to join our team? We’re looking for a passionate Vice President of Students. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/e8MYPsC5
