# Breathe: In and Out with Christ

Breathing is such an innate, automatic, profound and life-sustaining act. It is so simple (even a baby can do it) and yet so profound with all the mechanisms that make it work. Our relationship with Jesus is similar.

As part of the CBOQ Youth “spiritual growth cycle”, our focus this year is I BREATHE: choosing to submit to Jesus’ Lordship. What this emphasizes is the exploration of what it is to build intimacy with Christ (inhale) and what it means to be transformed in how we live life with a Christ-like character (exhale). One cannot happen without the other: if we only intake air we drown and if only exhale air we suffocate.

Our hope is that this year you will be on journey with your students as we all learn what it is to BREATHE in and out with Jesus.
