Do your kids have friends who will support them through life's storms? Or do they have friendships that are superficial and downright unhelpful?
Our 4-week Navigating Friendships Bible Study is here to help your student understand the purpose of friendships in their lives. In this study, your kids will:
Help your kids build lasting, meaningful friendships based on truth by studying the Bible in this handy 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.

Here's What You'll Love
The study spans 4 weeks with 5 lessons a week. Each day we will dig into why God created friendship. We will also talk practicalities of how to make good friends and how to be good friends.
God was so kind to give us community. We weren't meant to do life alone!
Our Bible studies are available in 4 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:

These are amazing study pages. It took us longer to complete the packet because the conversations it started. They would be so incredible we would just embrace that! It really got my kids thinking (I have 2 teens and 1 pre-teen) I think them having this ah-ha moment while reading the Bible, really struck something with them. Thank you Not Consumed, thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you for another amazing study! We love all the studies, but this one is hitting my kids in the best way!
What a wonderful Bible study this is for my 2 teen girls! I highly recommend this study for all children to navigate through friendships. Thanks for this study Kim.
I really love the idea of a Bible study on friendships. It seems like a much needed topic these days. Sometimes connecting with others and navigating friendships is hard! Guidance in choosing friends is a topic our kids need guidance with and what better way than to seek the Bible for that. Great job creating this study!!
