No matter the circumstances and trials of life, our kids will experience the brokenness of our sinful world. As a way of equipping them, we must teach them to bring their heavy feelings to God and root their lives in the truth of His Word.
Our Heavy Feelings Series looks at fear, anger, grief, bitterness, and life's struggles through the lens of the Bible. It teaches kids and teens how to process their emotions and give them to God. Each study focuses on a different feeling, and they all work together to provide kids and teens with the foundation they need to face the trials of this life!
Equip your kids and teens to find joy and peace in any circumstance by ordering this bundle today!

Each bundle includes all 5 Bible Studies designed for the appropriate age level. Each lesson has a consistent key truth, key Scripture, and central theme, no matter what age level your kids are working in. Each study also comes with an age-appropriate fun pack that includes challenge cards, stickers, and a bookmark. (More on our Family Bible Study Model HERE)

I purchased the bundle set for my son and have currently gotten through the first two books, Making Lemonade and Fear Not. Overall I have found the lessons to be well-written and beautiful, with nice pictures and relatable examples provided. My son was most excited that the bible study came with a sticker sheet so he can put stickers wherever he wants, and I thought the twistable crayons that come with the bundle lesson were a fun touch.
I do regret purchasing the Primary Level for him and wish I had instead purchased the Pre-K level, however, just based on his readiness. While he will be turning five very soon, I felt some of the engage questions in the lesson aren't really relatable to him yet as he is so young and he doesn't care much for drawing. If you are hedging back and forth between doing Pre-K or Primary like I was, I would recommend you just go with the Pre-K as it comes with a lot of stickers and all kids love stickers. If I could go back in time, I would have gone with the younger lesson for my son.
One tiny critique I have with the lesson for Primary is that it is designed for the grown-ups or older siblings to read to the younger kids, but the script we are supposed to read has a lot of "I" statements (such as, "One time when I was younger, I experienced..."). As we are reading this to the younger child, it sounds like we are talking about our own experiences instead of the author's experiences. I wish that those stories were written differently to avoid telling someone else's story as personal experience.
We just started using this bundle as this year’s Bible curriculum and so far I’m loving it! Beautifully packaged.
We use these for our Bible time in homeschool. We like that the bundles are open and go, each one is roughly a month, and the bundled studies fit together so well that it makes planning Bible in our studies very easy. The Heavy Feelings Series in particular stood out to me because my daughter is entering her teen years and is having some big feelings as she encounters new experiences. I want her to know how to handle those feelings in a positive way. With the parent books I can do the same studies and discuss it with her. I have big feelings too as I am going through changes myself so I am very much looking forward to them.

Excited as we open our boxes and dig into “Making Lemonade.” I have a freshman, 7th, 5th, and 1st grader. I love that we can study the same topic and discuss together! Thank you, Kim and Team, for all the work you put into making great Godly resources!
I absolutely love this study! I feel this is one for everyone to use! Anger, bitterness, hopelessness is so common right now! Definitely worth getting!! I really love how it’s all grouped together in a set! Beautifully done!
So far this series has exceeded my expectations. It's keeping my children engaged. It has thought provoking questions that our family can really interact together and have a thoughtful discussion about trials, tribulations, and how God is there to help us through all our struggles. I would definitely buy another series!
Getting this Bible study in the mail was like Christmas for my kids. They loved the squishy lemon and the twist crayons. They are excited to learn about all the books in this series of how God puts the sweetness in life when life gives us lemons!
My daughter and I are going through this series, but as we go we keep thinking that someone else in our family would really enjoy learning what we are learning. We are an adoptive family and that often comes with big emotions. These studies get to the heart of the matter, but without being too heavy or making anyone feel ashamed. The author doesn’t mince words and asked the reader (kid or adult) to take responsibility when there is sin, but hope is always presented in a very balanced way. I’ve seen such peace and growth from my daughter that I plan to buy each of my boys a set this fall.
