A Come, Follow Me Podcast based on the CFM Curriculum but geared towards teenagers and parents of teenagers. With shorter episode lengths, several key points and a focus on one main principle from each weeks study, this is a podcast that teenagers can listen too and learn from. The included application questions, stories and experiences will help them see how to best apply in their own lives what they are learning.
Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on Ezra 1–7 and Nehemiah 1–8: “I Am Doing a Great Work.” We’ll talk about how God worked through Cyrus, a Persian king outside the covenant faith, to help His people return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple; how Jesus Christ can rebuild testimony, hope, trust, worthiness, and other holy things that may feel weakened or broken; and how Nehemiah protected the work when opposition, fear, distraction, and pressure came. We’ll also compare Nehemiah’s declaration, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down,” with Lahonti being drawn away from safety and poisoned “by degrees.” These chapters help teens see that God is working through more people than we may realize, that no life is too damaged for Christ to restore, and that when He helps us rebuild something holy, we must be prepared to protect it and remain faithful. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-ezra-nehemiah-study-teaching-guide • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 2 Chronicles 14–30: “Our Eyes Are upon Thee.” We’ll talk about Asa trusting the Lord when Judah faced an overwhelming army and how we must keep relying on God even when pressure increases; Micaiah standing for truth when 400 other voices told the king what he wanted to hear; and Jehoshaphat’s powerful prayer, “Neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.” These chapters help teens see that faith does not always mean having every answer. Sometimes faith means turning our fear toward God, trusting His prophets, standing for truth with courage and compassion, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ when the battles of life feel bigger than we are. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/2-chronicles-14-20-26-30-our-eyes-are-upon-thee • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 2 Kings 16–25: “He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel.” We’ll talk about Israel being carried away captive and how ignoring the Lord’s voice and breaking covenants can lead us away from true freedom; how God’s commandments are not meant to control us, but to protect us; King Josiah’s rediscovery of the book of the law and how each of us must discover the scriptures for ourselves; and Josiah’s reforms as a powerful pattern for repentance and change. As we increase the light of Jesus Christ through scripture, prayer, worship, covenant connection, and the Holy Ghost, the things that once pulled us away from God can begin to lose their power. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-2-kings-16-25-study-teaching-guide • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 2 Kings 2–7: “There Is a Prophet in Israel.” We’ll talk about the ministry and miracles of Elisha and how prophets point us to Jesus Christ; the widow’s oil and how the Savior can pay the debts we cannot pay and provide what we cannot provide on our own; Naaman’s healing and how simple prophetic counsel can lead to miracles when we are humble enough to trust and obey; and Elisha’s servant seeing the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire as a powerful reminder that when we stand with the Lord and His prophets, we are never as alone or outnumbered as we may feel. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-2-kings-2-7-there-is-a-prophet-in-israel • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 1 Kings 12–22: “If the Lord Be God, Follow Him.” We’ll talk about Rehoboam and Jeroboam and how wrong voices, pride, fear, convenience, and counterfeit worship can pull our hearts away from God; Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and how choosing faith over fear can invite the Lord to bless, preserve, heal, strengthen, and restore us; and Elijah’s powerful question on Mount Carmel — “How long halt ye between two opinions?” — as an invitation for teens to examine what they are really following and choose Jesus Christ with an undivided heart. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-1-kings-12-22-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
