I never thought I'd say that. I hate curriculum for student ministry. It's constrictive and too much work to adapt to fit your style and vision... until now. I've been reading "The Seven Checkpoints" by Andy Stanley and Stuart Hall from Northpoint and they just launched a "curriculum strategy" called XP3. It combines the "win" philosophy (check out the podcasts here - if you're in ministry at any level these ideas will change you) and the 7 Checkpoints philosophy with a student ministry community, parent involvement, and a laser focus on quality small groups.
The cool thing is that it's enough of a shell to give you ideas but not so much that you have to change it. You can easily infuse it with your own philosophy and style. Below are 2 podcasts. One is a short description of XP3. The other is a longer, more in depth, picture of it with Stuart Hall and Reggie Joiner. Here's a link to the XP3 website
