Biblical Learning Model

Life-stage focused leader and learner resources are based on a comprehensive, biblical learning model. The goal of disciple making is spiritual transformation, which can be defined as God's work of changing a believer into the likeness of Jesus by creating a new identity in Christ and by empowering a lifelong relationship of love, trust, and obedience to glorify God.

Spiritual transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit and involves three crucial areas of life. All LifeWay Bible studies - lessons and units - seek to address these areas biblically, purposefully, and practically. Over time as learners cooperate with the Holy Spirit, they build a biblical worldview out of which to think, decide, and act in Christlikeness. They develop the values of God who created them and loves them. They are able to face the challenging ups and downs of life at every stage and to live with God-given purpose.

LifeMATTERS - for young adults
Life Truths - for parents of school-aged children/teens
Life Values - for "empty-nest" adults
Life Ventures - for retired adults

Each of these four lines feature studies based on the Holman Christian Standard Bible®.

For Sunday School and Bible study groups comprised of adults of all ages, Bible Studies for Life provides two options:

Life Words - featuring the King James Version
Life Lessons - following the Holman Christian Standard Bible

Bible Studies for Life also includes supplemental resources that can further enhance and deepen Bible study experiences for both leaders and learners:
