The Life Bible Study Curriculum

What is The Life?

The Life is a small group bible study curriculum that will equip your students to understand exactly what it means to live as a follower of Christ through a unit-based study of discipleship.
 
The call to saving faith is a simultaneous call to follow Jesus in a lifetime of devotion. There really isn’t any other option. The idea that we could know Jesus but live unchanged lives isn’t biblical. The picture of biblical faith is the picture of life daily lived in relationship with God. It’s a life of discipleship. Of “followership.” And The Life will help your students know exactly what the call to follow looks like.

REAL STORIES FROM REAL YOUTH PASTORS

"I love this curriculum and my youth have learned so much and have applied it to their lives, I will be purchasing another curriculum after I am finished with The Life."

"The life has been a great tool so far. We are 22 weeks in and the content has been wonderful. The curriculum also comes with great resources for parents and students too. I like that I don't have to come up with devotions to fit the lesson every week, they're already done. That gives me more time to invest in building the relationship instead of the lesson."

"First let me say I really enjoy going through my YM360 curriculum with our students. The units don't shy away from the tough subjects, but are also super relatable for our students. The organization of the lessons and helpful tips is a huge asset to our teachers as well. They allow our teachers who don't have a seminary degree to feel comfortable teaching the Bible."
