Did you know that your heart-attitude determines the path of your life?
This Bible study for kids and teens is all about protecting, keeping, and guarding your heart so you can grow in Christ instead of overflowing with those "ugly" things that threaten, such as pride, anger, discontentment, and fear.
In Proverbs 4:23, we are told that our heart truly defines who we are and where we will go in life. Let's get busy protecting it!

Parent Guide
Help the Bible come to life for your kids through award-winning audio dramas. Keep Thy Heart Bible study bundle makes an excellent faith-filled gift as it encourages spiritual growth through engaging Bible study, exciting audio drama, and daily truth reminders (that just so happen to look pretty cool).
These CDs are supplemental and can be used before, during, or after your study. You decide!
Giant Killer (ages 8+)
The battle continues to rage, moment by moment and day by day. But must we meet the enemy blindfolded? In order to conquer, we must face the enemy; to crush opposition, we must see the real foe. Through this allegorical tale, we’ll be better equipped to recognize and slay the Giants who confront us. We’ll break through the web of Sloth, climb out of the pit of Selfishness, choke up the fount of Anger, flee the lurking-place of Untruth, and triumph over our enemy, Pride.
Whether you use it before, after, or during the study, it's sure to spark great conversations about guarding your heart and what you need to protect yourself from.
Ocean Commotion (all ages)
The whole family will love going on a musical adventure with Patch the Pirate and his crew. As they seek shelter from a terrible storm they discover a village of shaky shacks in the ocean and try to warn the citizens who have been under false teaching and don't realize they are in danger. Will they learn the truth they need to protect their hearts?
Your family will love listening to this musical audio drama before, during, or after you complete the Bible study. It's sure to spark good conversations about guarding your heart.
My grandson and I are loving doing the Bible study together before school in the morning. He really loves the pen, it added a special touch.
Great book. Good ideas. The topic is so appropriate. Keep these books coming.
In addition to being an exceptional study, I was very pleasantly surprised to see how high quality this set is! (This was our first Not Consumed purchase.) The memory verse cards are made of a high quality material and will hold up to my kiddos for years to come.
This study has opened up such deep conversations and has brought an awareness about our hearts that the world would find foolish. We would highly recommend it to others!
What a wonderful study to do alongside your pre-teen and or tenn. we have enjoyed it & as a mom I have loved being able to share my own testimonies. This study has truly taught my daughter and I new ways to connect & grow in the Lord.
Love it, short, sweet, and to the point. I love it! And my boys do as well. Perfect addition to our school morning! Will be buying more!
The 'Keep Thy Heart' study was my first 'Not Consumed' study. My friend & I were looking for a Bible study to do with our kids who had never done a Bible study before. This study worked out well. I like how interactive the lessons are. I like that you're asked to do different things like copy a verse, write out an answer, draw a picture, fill in a blank etc. Since the kids were asked at times to do certain things, like draw a picture for example, they were comfortable doing those things throughout the study. Sometimes it was easier for them to draw a picture when they weren't sure how to verbalize their answer.
The only thing I didn't like about this study was that the pages in the kids books didn't correspond to the pages in the parents books. It would be nice if a note was added to the parents pages saying what page in the kids book each page went with.
Otherwise I think this study was simple, yet challenging enough for the kids (ages 8, 9, 11). The context was thorough & interesting. Both my friend & I have referred our kids back to the lessons learned in this study multiple times. We look forward to starting the next one.
I have been doing this study on the heart with my teen daughter for morning Bible study. We love it! It’s not a deep, heavy duty Bible study, but it’s perfect for bringing out truths in an easy upbeat way. I like that we can use our KJV Bible with it , too.
We loved this study! We paired it with a psychology unit study & the connections my kids made were amazing. Thank you for yet another wonderful family study!
