2023 Redesign, PreK and Primary age levels added!
Anger. Pride. Despair. Our kids are facing all kinds of enemies, and often are ill-equipped to guard against them. Rather than reactively deal with the fruit of these unchecked heart issues, it's important that kids know how to proactively guard their hearts from those enemies ever taking root.
In the Keep Thy Heart Bible Study, your kids will learn how dangerous sin is and how to guard their heart from its influences. While looking at Scripture, your kids will:
Order your study today and help your kids stop sin before it grows!
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!

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).

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.
As always, a great study! The study is thoughtful and engaging.
This study has given time for me and my children to grow together. I highly recommend this for anyone. I have struggled to find a good fit for all of us, and this one does.
This was a fantastic study! We've done several studies, and they never disappoint. I loved the focus on protecting your heart. This is so important for kids to understand that the things we do, watch, talk about with our friends, etc., have a huge impact on our hearts, and, eventually, our actions.
My prayer for my kids has always been that they would keep their hearts in God's hand and trust Him to guard both their heart and mind.
I appreciate this study as I continue praying for my college age son in this vein.
Enjoyed working thru it. Looking forward to purchasing more.
I bought this for myself to see what the resources looked like. I’m so excited to go through this myself, and then also with the kids. I‘ve recently returned to my faith after a long hiatus, and these tools make it easy and comfortable to get back into the practice. Thank you!!!
I think this was the first study that our family completed together- and the one that got us hooked on Not Consumed products! This is a great heart-conditioning curriculum that gets families into the Word together while also giving elementary kids and up the opportunity to practice diving into the Word alone during personal time. I'm really happy with this one. P.S. The Ocean Commotion CD (radio theatre) was a big hit with my kids, and months later they're still asking me to play it.
As an adult, I’m still learning how to guard my heart from the idols that crop up. This study was amazing in bringing these concepts to students and unfolding the biblical truths in a way that drew them in and gave us strategies for breaking free of the habits that trap us. We have studied using many materials over the years, and this was the perfect capstone to drive it home for my youths and a good stepping stone for my 9yr old who hasn’t had the in depth precepts at his level. We are constantly referring back to the Keep Thy Heart principles we dug into in this study! Thank you for another amazing resource!
I'm so happy when I receive a new NC bible study! They are so well written and engaging. My teenager enjoys doing them, and is able to understand the concepts even on her own.
