The 5 Life Questions for Teens | SHAPE Mentorship – Beyond Sasa CBO
The Life Questions Module — SHAPE Teens Mentorship
Inspired by Dr. Myles Munroe's 5 big life questions, this module guides teens through identity, source, purpose, potential and destiny — adapted for youth using the SHAPE framework.
The Life Questions Module helps teens move from confusion to clarity. Each section contains reflection prompts, small-group activities, and mentor-led discussion guides so young people can internalize answers and plan next steps.
1. Who Am I? — Identity
+Focus: Self-awareness, worth, and identity formed in God’s design rather than social comparison.
- Activity: Strengths mapping & 'I am' statements (20–30 mins)
- Reflection: List 5 things that make you, *you* — talents, values, and beliefs.
- Mentor tip: Encourage teens to create a short identity affirmation they repeat weekly.
2. Where Am I From? — Source & Roots
+Focus: Understanding family, culture, and spiritual heritage — using your past as a foundation, not a chain.

- Activity: SHAPE assessment & small-team challenge (30–60 mins)
