the textbook

  • The most important time in a high school student's journey is the moment of decision about their future:
    “What will I do and be once I graduate?"
    "What is my purpose and how do I become who God created me to be?”

    If you’ve been waiting for a Christian curriculum to help guide students past the world’s forced agenda and into their kingdom calling, you’ve found it! This Students on the RISE Curriculum along with the Junior and Senior Companion Activation Journals, lay a thorough and Biblical foundation of faith for teens to grow into motivated young adults who understand how to bring their unique influence, expertise, and the love of God to any of the Seven Mountains of culture they were created to impact: Media, Education, Government, Arts & Entertainment, Religion, Economy, and Family.

    Students on the Rise can be utilized in any Christian education setting, and will help students better identify where their specific interests and talents position them on the mountains of culture—and how they can partner with God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to use their gifts. Scripture by scripture, lesson by lesson, and inquiry by inquiry, students will navigate the path of discovery, preparing them to become a student on the RISE, and a leader in God’s Kingdom here on earth.

    This textbook is suitable as a Bible course for a Christian classroom setting, homeschool co-ops, or individual high school students. It includes a facilitator’s guide and 90 lessons/days (18 weeks) and was created to be used with the companion workbooks, Jr Activation Journal or Sr Activation Journal, depending on the student’s level (order separately).

    “Equipped and empowered, our students are rising up and being awakened to the revelation of who God is and His plans for their lives. This curriculum impacts children and adults alike. God is raising a generation of strong leaders to bring His goodness on the earth as it is in Heaven.” —PASTOR RENEE ROSE, Founder, Kingdom Life Academy, Orange County, California.

    Your journey through the Students on the RISE Curriculum and companion Junior Students on the RISE Activation Journal will bring the clarity of purpose you need for your big launch out of high school and into the future God has for you.

    Many young Christians don’t realize that God not only cares about every area of culture, but that He wants you involved and passionate about your role in society. Perhaps you’ve noticed the brokenness and corruption around you in the seven primary areas of culture, also called the Seven Mountains—Media, Education, Government, Arts & Entertainment, Religion, Economy, and Family—but you aren’t sure what you can personally do about it.

    Are you ready to embark on an adventure of personal and spiritual growth that will position you in your unique calling as a world changer? You were created to know God so intimately through Jesus Christ that you learn to care about the things He cares about in the world around you. As your faith and understanding grows, He will teach you how to bring His solutions to the problems you see and are passionate about on the mountains of culture. Whether you're journeying alongside fellow students or trekking solo, the Junior Students on the RISE Activation Journal is an opportunity to discover the heart of God in you and through you.

    You’ll study practical ways of bringing the kingdom of God to earth by completing group discussion/journaling assignments and reviewing the RISE Essentials, Affirmations, and Scriptures that anchor you to unchanging truth. As you journal and respond to the prompts within these pages, invite God into every aspect of your journey. Listen for His voice, seek His guidance, and allow His truth to shape your perspective. The activations and opportunities in the journal are just the beginning. Our hope is that they would provoke you to extend and deepen your learning. Your adventure awaits!
