Starting something new takes more than just supplies.

Whether it’s the first day of school, the start of a new job, or stepping into a new chapter of life, we all carry certain “things” with us—priorities, habits, mindsets—that shape how we live. Some help us move forward. Some weigh us down.

In this series, What’s in Your Backpack?, we’ll look at real people in the Bible who faced big changes and challenges, and we’ll see what they packed for the journey—things like courage, wisdom, integrity, and hope. Along the way, we’ll ask ourselves:

• What am I carrying that’s helping me live the life God wants for me?
• What’s taking up space that needs to go?
• How do I make sure Jesus is the first thing in my “backpack”?
