Are complaining, waiting till the last minute, and half-hearted responses a regular occurrence in your house? Teaching obedience to our kids can be a huge challenge!
Our Obey Bible Study helps parents and children learn by equipping parents to know how to teach obedience that comes from the heart, and using scripture show kids what (or really, WHO) drives true obedience. In this 4-week, personal study, your kids will look at the how, why, and when to obey, learning:
Grab a study for the whole family and get an honest look at obedience in your home with the Obey Bible Study!
Nothing will be mailed to you as this is a digital product. The Bible study fun pack does NOT come with the digital files. You can print off the file and staple it together. We like to use fun duct tape to secure the staples and keep them from poking.

This study is part of our Relationship Series, designed to teach your kids Biblical principles for developing and strengthening Christian relationships. Learn more HERE.
Here's What You'll Love
Are you tired of "because I said so" as your only line of defense for getting your children to obey? Do you wish they would understand the importance of obedience?
What if I told you that you can teach your kids to actually WANT to obey?
YOU CAN. It's not some far-fetched parenting dream. Building a foundation of biblical truth is the way to help your children want to obey for the right reasons.
This study will help you build a biblical foundation for the importance of obedience, without having to do all of the work and research yourself. You know, because you've got goldfish to clean out of the carpet and LEGOs to fish out of the toilet, right? Haha. Let's get started today!
Our Bible studies are available in 4 age levels that work together perfectly for family study. Each lesson has a consistent key truth, key Scripture, and central theme no matter what age level your kids are working in.
Primary Level (ages 5-7)
Written in paragraph form for Mom/Dad to read aloud
One to two verses to read per lesson
Children draw in response to questions
Written in language young children can easily understand
Junior Level (ages 8-12)
Children work independently then discuss with the family
Children have lines and boxes to write or draw responses
Two to four verses to read per lesson
Written with a focus on issues school-aged kids face
Parent Guide
Our parent guide is the perfect addition to help you easily facilitate family Bible study. Each day, you will progress through the same main ideas and key passages your kids will be studying.
Plus, we've added parent tips along the way to help you lead discussion as a family.
Having the whole family thinking on the same key truths of Scripture will create a more natural environment to talk about the Lord. We know you'll love it!
What version of the Bible do you use?
I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this.
What do you believe?
I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
What age level should I buy?
This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please
check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!
How many copies should I buy?
If you are buying digital, you only need one copy of each age level you will be using. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc) you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on each product's page.
If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word. Please check out this video for more explanation on why this is so important!
How long are your studies?
Each Bible study is a slightly different length ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.
Studies with 20 lessons:
Obey
Do Right
Fruit of the Tongue
My Brother's Keeper
Navigating Friendships
A Content Heart
Studies with 25 lessons:
Keep Thy Heart
Studies with 28 lessons:
Developing a Quiet Time
We are using the OBEY Bible study and it is perfect for my boys! They are 6 and 8 and do NOT like to write so I purchased the PRIMARY version. I was a little worried the content may be too easy and not hold their attention, as they are fluent readers. have fantastic reasoning skills, and are fairly knowledgeable about a great many Bible narratives. However, this study have proven to be a great way to get them finding books of the Bible, verses, and answering questions, as well as starting strong conversations about this very important topic of obedience. We have also read further in many of the stories and had more rich discussion. If we do nothing else each day, we have done what is most important by spending time in the Word and seeking God's truth. I love the prayer prompts as well and am so thankful to have that as a guide for encouraging my boys to pray through scripture for God to help them grow spiritually in obedience. I am happy to add that I have heard my older boy tell his brother, "It's more important to obey!" I Highly recommend this study!
I have been looking for Bible Study series that will enable the children to do their quiet time independently while emphasising on the need to read the Bible. I like that Not Consumed Bible Studies intentionally do not quote Bible verses and therefore encouraging the actual reading of the Bible.
The studies were appropriate for all age levels and the application questions opened up more conversations around the table.
The children love the studies and are more eager to pick their Bibles more consistently.
I would recommend this study for any family any time. I know well be redoing it after sometime because the truths are timeless and Obedience is key to faith.
This is the second study we did as a family (the first being My Brother's Keeper). It was just as amazing! I just love the applicable questions. It leads to some really good conversations. Don't hesitate if you have younger kiddos as well. My first grader was right in there in the conversations with us. I look forward to getting my next devotional.
We loved this study! It was so enjoyable to do this alongside my kids. The questions and conversation this sparked as a family were priceless! Excited to try the new studies I just ordered.
Enjoyed with my kids!
I cannot love this Bible study enough. I have a 6 yr old and a 3.5 yr old that I am guiding through this study, and it has been SO HELPFUL in our home. I can simply ask, "are you obeying without question?", and they know exactly what I am talking about. I am looking forward to work through the other studies as well. Lifer over here!
This study is profound. I think I've learned more than my kids, and I think I've needed this more than my kids. My 3 kids aged 4-7 love doing the study as a family and are enjoying getting to draw as they reflect on the lessons. They also enjoy hearing mom and dad's examples of our own obedience or struggles with disobedience.
In my opinion, this is another home run! This was a great Bible study for our family. I love that it is not watered down for the little guys and is right on target. I love the challenging questions that even catch the heart of my 9 year old. Awesome job on these Bible studies.
Kim's Bible studies are always a win. The kids and I love them, and having different levels is very helpful.
