Life on Purpose
4 EPISODES | 4 WEEKS
The Life on Purpose series was designed with youth pastors and youth workers in mind. We know equipping this generation for mission and sharing their faith can be one of the hardest parts of ministry, but it’s also incredibly vital and transformative.
This series offers compelling student stories that are relational and relatable to youth, teaching from biblical experts on topics around faith and sharing your faith, and discussion questions to engage young people.
It’s ideal for a student-leader setting or for equipping an entire student ministry to be mission-minded as they prepare to invite friends to Alpha Youth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Life on Purpose help youth with evangelism? This program addresses the biggest barriers young people face when sharing their faith – fear, uncertainty, and lack of practical know-how. Through relatable stories and expert teaching, students develop both the heart and skills for effective evangelism.
Can this be used as part of our summer youth ministry ideas? Absolutely! The 4-week format makes it perfect for summer outreach programming. Many churches use it to prepare students for summer mission trips, neighborhood outreach events, or back-to-school evangelism initiatives.
Is this only for students who are already comfortable sharing their faith? Not at all. Life on Purpose meets students wherever they are in their faith journey. The step-by-step approach helps even the most hesitant youth develop confidence in sharing their story and inviting friends to explore faith.
How can our youth leadership program integrate Life on Purpose? Student leaders particularly benefit from this training, as it equips them to not only share their own faith but also to encourage and guide their peers in doing the same. Many youth ministries use Life on Purpose as part of their student leadership development curriculum.
What makes Life on Purpose different from other youth evangelism resources? Rather than just teaching theory, Life on Purpose provides a practical pathway to application through Alpha. This gives students both the training and the immediate opportunity to put what they’ve learned into practice in a supportive environment.
