I did this study with my 10 and 13 year old. It was a great conversation starter for many of the issue we are facing and will be facing with friendships, especially over the next few years. A lot of good reminders for mom about my “crew” and building friendships too!

We have done many of the Not Consumed Bible Studies, and this is by far our favorite! The illustration about building friendships from the inside out, using the example of a boat/ship, has truly stuck with my kiddos. The Scripture used really helped my girls through a difficult time with being hurt by friends (even those who are believers), so they could heal, and learn how to be a good friend themselves. Most importantly, my girls are now thinking about and making wise decisions about which friends should go in which category and the reasons why. Life changing! Soo thankful for these resources as a mom!

We just moved to a new church community and our older children (ages 16, 14, 10) are needing to make friends. Doing this Bible study together helped them each navigate choosing friends wisely and learning to be the kind of friend they'd want to have. I really enjoyed how the Bible study started by placing parents and siblings as the closest friends and building from there to a select couple friends. Very applicable to family relationships as well.

I hosted and lead a small group this past summer using this study. We all loved! Parents and kids ranging from 4 years old to 12 years old. It was an awesome study to do in between school years and for those that were about to be starting new schools.

My stepdaughter is in Middle School and the girls this age can be mean. My stepdaughter said she learned so much from this study and thinks all middle school girls should complete it!

This is the second study we’ve done from Not consumed; yet another great study filled with scripture that we enjoyed with our oldest kiddo who is discerning between friendships and how to be a friend himself.

This is perfect for kids preparing to head off to school. It can be so daunting and this was so good to work through with my young elementary school kid. loved it!

My daughters and I are doing this study and so far we are enjoying it. I like the discussions I have with my girls. It’s very important topic at any age but my girls are entering teen and tween age so I feel this study builds a good foundation to build on.

My gr'daughter loves these studies . They are very pertinent to her life as a 14yo. Tha ks!
