Facilitator Training
Since discipleship is more than
curriculum, we've created some short
videos and best practices to help
facilitators learn, establish, and maintain
the HigherTrek group culture.
Sixteen episodes
The episodes are designed to address
the struggles young men face as they
transition into adulthood, while
teaching the basics of walking with
Christ for a lifetime.
Discussion Guides
HigherTrek is designed to be highly
intentional, highly relational, and highly
interactive. We view group discussion as
an essential aspect of this experience.

FAQs
How long are the epsidoes?
Every episode is different but the average length is 26 minutes.
Am I too old?
Nope! We've found that, although our resources are created for 18-25 year olds, they can be helpful to men of all ages.
What is the best way to use this resource?
While there isn't any one way to use this, here are a few models we've seen work well:
- Small Group - A small group of men gather to watch the episode, go over the discussion guide, and help each other grow.
- Large Group - A large group of men gather to watch the episode and then split into small groups for discussion.
- Retreat Sessions - Watch two or three episodes a day in a set apart location.
