Today at Circle of Purpose at Shadow Hills High School, Kirk Scott brought up that old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” How many of us learned to act tough even when somebody’s words stuck with us?

Kirk reminded us that mental health and mental fortitude are two different things. We can have the strength to keep going and still need to be honest about what hurts. Jesus desires wholeness for us, and that includes what’s going on in our minds. 2 Corinthians 10:5 calls us to take our thoughts captive and bring them into obedience to Christ. When somebody’s words start shaping how you see yourself, pause and ask, “Does that line up with what God says about me?”

Kirk left us with a question worth sitting with. Am I waiting for my circumstances to change before I let myself have peace and joy? In Romans 5:3–5, Paul reminds us that suffering can produce perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character leads to hope. With Jesus, we can experience peace and joy even while we’re waiting for things to change. We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we know who will walk through it with us. 🙏🏾

Thank you, Kirk, for pouring into our Shadow Hills students today!

📣 Circle of Purpose | Cathedral City High School

Today, students created posters to spread the word about Circle of Purpose and invite others to discover their purpose in God! 🙌🏾

Behind every invitation is a mission:

🌎 Live out the Great Commission. Jesus calls us to go and make disciples—and that mission includes our campus! (Matthew 28:19–20)

🤝 Be ambassadors for Christ. We carry the message of reconciliation, pointing others toward a restored relationship with God through Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:18–20)

🎯 Help others find their purpose. Every student matters, and we want them to know that their lives have meaning and purpose in God.

A simple poster can start a conversation. A simple invitation can open the door for someone to encounter Jesus! 💙

Learning to Handle Conflict at Raymond Cree Middle School!

This month’s theme is conflict resolution! We talked about how disagreements happen when people have different ideas, needs, or goals—and how our response can make a difference.

Students were encouraged to practice five steps.

✅ Pause and breathe before responding.
✅ Ask questions and listen before making assumptions.
✅ Explain what bothered you using respectful words.
✅ Own your part, apologize, and work toward a solution.
✅ Ask a trusted adult for help when a situation feels unsafe or keeps happening.

Whether it’s a disagreement in class, a misunderstanding with a friend, or drama in a group chat, students can practice speaking up while treating others with respect. Every conflict is an opportunity to think through our choices and grow! 💙

DESERT HOT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL | CIRCLE OF PURPOSE

YOUR MISTAKES DON’T CANCEL GOD’S PURPOSE!

📖 Jeremiah 29:11

Today at Desert Hot Springs High School, Gianni shared a powerful reminder that God still has a plan for our lives, even after we’ve made mistakes!

Sometimes when we fall short, guilt and shame convince us to run away from God. But Gianni reminded us that God’s desire isn’t to shame us, but to embrace us and restore us!

💡 THREE POWERFUL REMINDERS:

🔹 1. YOUR MISTAKES DON’T DEFINE YOUR FUTURE!
Just because you’ve made a bad decision doesn’t mean God has given up on you. Your past doesn’t have to determine your purpose!

🔹 2. RUN TO GOD, NOT AWAY FROM HIM!
Sin may cause us to feel ashamed, but shame should never keep us from seeking God. His arms are open, and His grace is greater than our failures!

🔹 3. GOD STILL HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God’s plans are filled with hope and a future. Even when we can’t see what He’s doing, we can trust that He hasn’t forgotten us!

🙌 THE TAKEAWAY:

Don’t let shame drive you away from the very One who can restore you!

You may have made mistakes, but you are NOT a mistake!

You may have fallen, but you are NOT finished!

GOD STILL HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE! 🙏🏽🔥

Thank you, Gianni, for encouraging our Golden Eagles to trust God’s plan and never allow their past to keep them from their future!

EMOTIONS, TRIGGERS & CONSEQUENCES

Wednesday’s lesson at DSMS was about understanding our emotions and recognizing the power of our triggers.

🔹 1. Triggers Influence Our Emotions
Triggers are the things that provoke an emotional response and influence how we react to situations. Learning to recognize our triggers helps us become more intentional about our responses.

🔹 2. Positive Responses Can Produce Positive Rewards
When we respond to situations with wisdom, patience, self-control, and a positive attitude, we create opportunities for positive outcomes.

🔹 3. Negative Responses Can Lead to Negative Consequences
Responding impulsively to anger, frustration, disrespect, or disappointment can lead to decisions we later regret. Before reacting to a negative trigger, STOP and consider the potential consequences.

💡 REMEMBER: You may not always control what triggers you, but you can learn to control how you respond.

Don’t let a temporary emotion lead you to make a permanent mistake!

Your emotions are real, but they don’t have to control your decisions. Pause. Think. Pray. Then respond with wisdom!

🎨 You Are a Masterpiece! | Palm Springs High School

At Circle of Purpose last Friday, we asked our students a question worth carrying into the week. When you think about who you are, whose voice do you hear?

Sometimes you look in the mirror and notice your flaws first. Sometimes people at school remember one mistake and act like it tells your whole story. But God sees all of you. He knows where you’re still growing, and He still calls you His masterpiece.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. Palm Springs High, the next time you catch yourself saying, “I always mess up,” give yourself room to say, “I can learn from this. God still has a purpose for me.”

❤️💛 Palm Desert High - Circle of Purpose

At Palm Desert High, Jeff opened 1 Samuel 17 and looked at what David carried onto the battlefield and what he chose to leave behind.

🚨 Earthly sources can’t solve spiritual problems. Saul offered David his armor, but David could barely walk in it. He took it off and faced Goliath in the name of the Lord. We talked about what that looks like on campus. When your friends pressure you to do something you know is wrong, having their approval might make lunch easier. Trusting God gives you the courage to speak up, even if you’re the only one.

🚨 For the battle, God wastes no skill. Long before David stood in front of Goliath, he was a shepherd looking after his father’s sheep. He knew how to use a sling, and he remembered how God had helped him protect the flock. What David had learned when hardly anyone was watching mattered when an entire army was watching.

BEFORE YOU TAKE THE BAIT
Circle of Purpose | Indio High School ❤️💙

The group chat is roasting a classmate. You’ve got a joke you know will get a laugh. Before you hit send, what do you do?

At Indio High, we opened up James 1:14–15 and talked about three choices we can make in that moment.

1️⃣ Recognize what pulls you in. Sometimes the bait is the feeling you get when everybody laughs at your joke. Ask yourself, “Whose approval am I trying to win?”

2️⃣ Pause before you act. Feeling tempted still leaves you with a choice. Put the phone down and ask God for help. Then use that same phone to check on the person everybody’s laughing at. Even a simple “Hey, you good?” can open a door.

3️⃣ Consider where sin leads. James says that sin, when fully grown, brings forth death. A joke can break someone’s trust, and every time we join in, it gets a little easier to do it again.

THE BAD NEWS vs. THE GOOD NEWS! ✝️

Wednesday , Mark shared a powerful message about the Gospel and the greatest news the world has ever received!

🔴 THE BAD NEWS:
Sin separates us from God. It brings guilt, pain, suffering, and ultimately death. On our own, we cannot overcome the power of sin.

🟢 THE GOOD NEWS:
GOD SENT JESUS! ❤️

📖 John 3:16 reminds us that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!

✨ Salvation is a GIFT! We cannot earn it, work for it, or deserve it. It is made possible through the grace and love of God.

🙌 AND HERE’S THE BEST PART… JESUS DEFEATED DEATH! The grave could not hold Him! Our Savior is alive, and because He lives, we have hope, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life!

🔥 The Gospel isn’t just good news. It’s the BEST NEWS!

Thank you, Marin, for sharing the truth of the Gospel with our students at Cathedral City High School!

🎯 Circle of Purpose: Helping students find their purpose in God.

🔥 STOP STRESSING. START FOCUSING ON GOD!

Yesterday at Xavier Prep, Xavier reminded us how stress, anxiety, and comparison can distract us from what God is doing in our lives!

📖 Matthew 6:34 — Focus on Today
Jesus taught us not to worry about tomorrow. God has already gone ahead of us! Instead of wasting today’s energy worrying about tomorrow’s uncertainties, lock in on what God has placed before you today.

💭 Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Comparison can create insecurity and make us feel like we aren’t measuring up. But God isn’t asking you to be someone else. Refocus on what He is doing in YOUR life and remember what He has already brought you through!

📖 Romans 12:1–2 — Renew Your Mind
We must shift our focus away from the world’s standards and toward the things of God. Don’t allow stress, anxiety, or the pressure to fit in to shape how you see yourself. Let God transform the way you think!

📖 How Do You Discover What God Has for You?
GET IN THE WORD! 📖

You cannot understand God’s direction for your life if you never take the time to learn His Word. Spend time with Him, renew your mind, and allow Him to guide your steps.

🙌 THE TAKEAWAY:
Stop stressing over tomorrow.
Stop comparing your journey to someone else’s.
Stop overlooking what God has already done!

FOCUS ON GOD. TRUST HIS PLAN. BE FAITHFUL TODAY!

Your purpose is not found in keeping up with everybody else. It’s found in walking with God!
