A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on goals. Scripture: Colossians 3:23. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Colossians 3:23. 2) Read a realistic youth scenario involving goals. Teams identify the problem, possible responses, likely consequences, and a Christlike response. Groups compare solutions. 3) Ask students what they learned about goals. 4) Have each participant choose one practical way to apply the lesson this week. 5) Close with a short prayer or optional reflection.
Teaching notes: Keep the activity age-appropriate, voluntary, welcoming, and centered on Christian character. Use Colossians 3:23 in context and invite discussion rather than forcing personal disclosure. Adapt for group size, mobility, disability, available space, and time. Avoid humiliation, hazing, dangerous physical contact, elimination that repeatedly excludes the same youth, or sharing private information. Maintain normal church safeguarding and adult-supervision practices.
