Birkebeiner 2021 ✅
Today marks the beginning of our skier’s races in this year’s Birkie! Here is Ben at the race checking in and thanking our sponsors and donors!
We Ski4You so that students can use the Encircled method: a three step method that allows students to build a circle of support, and explore their giftedness. In times like these, connection and support are more important than ever.
“Thanks to Chipotle in Chanhassen for fueling us for the race and to Drs Jaron and Jordan at Statera for getting me ready for the race!” - Ben Bevis

Can you believe it? The Birkie is just two days away! Today we bring you our final skier introductions— meet Ben and Steve:
“Encircled is helping students feel known and loved by God and their circles of support. Encircled also helps students better know how they are gifted to do cool things in the world. When students have a Circle of Support around them helping them live out this Giftedness, this gives them hope, sustained faith and confidence. I believe this creates more intentional relationships and a more meaningful life!”
⁃Ben
“I have a passion for helping young people grow in their faith and I know that they need a team of people surrounding them as they mature. I am delighted to contribute to the work of supporting young adults in finding their unique way of honoring God with their lives.”

It’s Friday! Today we have a couple more skiers to introduce: Dan and Brian will #Ski4You in next Thursday’s Birkebeiner. Swipe to read about their Birkie experience!
“Love the mission! Glad to help make the encircled process available to more youth. Kids need many people in their lives to encourage and support them and help point them toward a positive future.” - Brian
“The world is messy, lonely, and difficult. Without caring and invested people in the lives of young adults, there is a huge likelihood that these young people will fall through the cracks of society. Encircled keeps them from falling through the cracks and enables them to not only succeed in life but become a contributing member of their community.” - Dan
Be sure to check out our corporate donors as well: JP Willman in Minnesota, and Strong Tower in Colorado.

Happy Monday! To start your week off we want to introduce you to a couple of our skiers that are taking on the Birkebeiner this 25th (only 10 days away)! John and Paul are both seasoned skiers who are excited about Encircled’s mission.
“Encircled is equipping students, and faith communities to do the most essential work of encircling students with a group of chosen trusted adults to help, and equip the next generation as they discover their giftedness and live it out as a part of God’s story. “ - John
“As a parent of a teenager and two young adults, I see the importance of bringing people in their lives and surrounding them with support and allowing them to grow and I see Encircled creating that same support system. I love hearing about the success stories from Encircled and the impact it has made in the lives of young people.” - Paul

“Encircled identifies for the students the gifts that they have and helps them understand what those gifts will mean for them as they move forward in their faith journey. Beyond that, Encircled allows them to share those gifts with those who surround them to have encouragement and guidance as they move forward.”
⁃Encircled Parent
It’s not just about knowing your giftedness, but figuring out how you can celebrate it with the world around you.
Join Encircled and bring your circle together to speak into your giftedness as you look into the future.

Encircled is a method of learning how God can work through you and your gifts!
Although you may be surrounded by supportive friends, family, and faith community now, these people are likely to shift as you grow and go out into the world. Encircled encourages students to surround themselves with people who want to commit to supporting them in living out their giftedness.
Our method takes intentional time to put 16-18 year olds in the drivers seat of exploring their gifts and developing a circle of support. The three meeting process allows students to meet with a coach and create a plan for their long-term faith journey.

“I am living out my giftedness through personal ministry and discipleship in Alaska. It's quite surreal to be living out my purpose post-college 🙂 God has thoroughly equipped me to deeply love and encourage my students (though our youth group is small) by gifting me with the ability to develop, mentor, and teach youth, through the love of Christ. Yet not I, but through Christ in me.”
- Katie, Encircled Student
Encircled wants to celebrate our students as they head out into the world and live out the giftedness that God has given them! Find out how you can make Encircled part of your faith community at www.Encircled.org

Let’s get right to it— because intentionality is a big part of what Encircled is about! We know you probably have a community surrounding you right now, just like you probably know what some of your gifts are.
Encircled takes the time out of your busy schedule and puts intentionality behind creating a plan as you launch into adulthood. Our method empowers you to look closer at your gifts— and how you can use the things God has equipped you with to interact with the world. Encircled takes the time to bring your circle together in one place (the Encircle Your Life meeting!) to commit to your long-term journey.
What are you waiting for? Take the time to build an intentional circle and learn about what you can do with your giftedness with the Encircled method!

Happy Monday— Today we are thinking about circles, both official and unofficial.
The Encircled method invites students to create a circle of people who will encourage them in their long-term faith journey. Whether this be family, friends or mentors, these people are there for you even through tough times.

We know that God has made every person with giftedness — Encircled wants to be the method to help you create a plan for how you can live it out.
“Encircled has helped me realize how I want to be involved through goals and ideas by putting them down on paper.” — Jens, Encircled Student
#EncircledOfficial #Encircled #ExploreYourGiftedness #YourCircle #Map #MakeAPlan #SpiritualJourney #BeWhoYouAre #AndMeantToBe
Figuring out your gifts is just the beginning! With Encircled’s method, students who have identified their gifts work with a coach to create an active circle and a map for their personal journey. Students finish Encircled with a plan for living out their giftedness, and a circle of people who are committed to their long-term journey.
What are you waiting for? Join Encircled today at www.encircled.org!

“I am living out my giftedness by serving on the student leadership team for Cru.
Cru is my college campus’s main Christian organization. God has given me the opportunity to use my Woo to invite other freshman who are curious about faith in Jesus to attend Cru meetings.”
