Elevate: Raising the Bar for Conversations About Media LiteracySample

What would you do if you could build your dream life and give yourself everything you’ve ever wanted? Whether it is a large following, a lot of money, or really cool stuff, we usually begin to think about things on the outside. Those things aren’t bad, but Jesus asks a simple question in this verse. He asks people to dream and think about what really matters in life. Even if you could gain everything you could ever want, who would you become? Jesus seems to be hinting at the idea that there is something that matters more. This week, take some time and write out an answer to Jesus’s question. Consider the dreams in your future and the life He is inviting you to, and respond with those things in mind.
