A Simple Way to Help People Encounter Jesus After Easter: The 10 Days with Jesus Experience
As churches seek to respond to the spiritual hunger often awakened during Easter services, leaders around the world are asking a similar question: How can we help people take meaningful first steps toward faith in Jesus?
In a time when attention spans are short and spiritual curiosity often grows through relationships, accessible pathways into faith conversations matter more than ever. One initiative helping churches create natural inflection points is the 10 Days with Jesus experience from Great Commission Allies Fueled by Hope and Gnowbe.
What is “10 Days with Jesus”?
The 10 Days with Jesus experience is a short, guided journey designed to help individuals explore the life and teaching of Jesus through powerful storytelling and reflection.
Using clips from the global Christian drama The Chosen, combined with simple devotional prompts and discussion ideas, the experience invites participants to:
- discover who Jesus is
- reflect personally on his message
- begin spiritual conversations with others
- take natural next steps in their faith journey
This kind of structured yet relational approach helps remove barriers for people who may feel hesitant about traditional church environments.
Helping Your Church Engage the Spiritually Curious
Across cultures, many people are more open to exploring faith gradually than attending a formal event first. Media-based experiences such as this provide a bridge — offering a way to engage with Jesus’ story in an authentic and emotionally resonant way.
For church leaders, this can become:
- a starting point for small groups
- a conversation tool for outreach
- a resource for mentoring new believers
- a catalyst for renewed spiritual curiosity
In many settings, it helps create safe environments where people can explore faith together and encounter Jesus in community.
Part of a Larger Moment: The Great 50 Days Initiative
The 10-day experience also connects to a wider global initiative referred to as the Great 50 Days Initiative — a collaborative season of mission, prayer, and spiritual renewal stretching from Easter to Pentecost.
Rather than being driven by one organization alone, this season brings together Great Commission allies who are providing coordinated prayer movements, evangelism opportunities, and spiritual resources for churches around the world.
The journey begins immediately after Easter with 10 Days with Jesus, inviting individuals and groups to reflect on the life and ministry of Christ and begin faith conversations.
Throughout the month of May, churches are encouraged to participate in GO Month, led by GO Movement. This emphasis helps mobilize ordinary believers to share the Good News in everyday relationships and communities.
As the Church approaches Ascension Day, the focus shifts toward global prayer, with many networks inviting believers to unite in intercession from Ascension to Pentecost — asking for fresh spiritual awakening and empowerment for mission.
Momentum continues with GO Day on June 7, another initiative from the GO Movement that encourages Christians everywhere to take simple, intentional steps to share their faith.
The season culminates on Pentecost (June 8) with participation in global prayer initiatives such as 24-7 Prayer, reminding believers of the Holy Spirit’s power to renew the Church and propel gospel witness.
Together, these coordinated moments create a meaningful rhythm of reflection, outreach, and prayer — helping churches move from celebrating the resurrection to living out its mission impact.
How Church Leaders Can Get Started
If you are considering how to introduce this to your congregation or community, here are a few simple next steps:
1. Preview the experience personally.
Walk through several sessions to understand how it can spark conversation and curiosity.
2. Identify relational contexts.
Consider homes, cafés, youth gatherings, workplaces, or existing small groups where people feel comfortable exploring faith.
3. Launch a short pilot group.
Invite spiritually curious friends alongside mature believers who can listen well and guide discussion.
4. Connect it to your discipleship pathway.
Plan clear next steps such as Bible discovery groups, mentoring relationships, or church community integration.
5. Align with the broader 50-day rhythm.
Use this season as a natural framework for prayer, outreach, and mission emphasis in your church calendar.
A Tool for a “Doing Faith”
Resources like 10 Days with Jesus are most powerful when they help the Church live out a faith that is relational, prayerful, and active — sharing the hope of Jesus in everyday life.
As churches seek renewed momentum in the Great Commission, accessible tools that help people see and experience the story of Jesus can open doors that traditional approaches sometimes cannot.
By prayerfully integrating initiatives like this into local mission strategies, church leaders can help more people begin a journey that leads to lifelong discipleship.
