Transform your family through…
THE ARMOR OF GOD
Putting on God’s armor isn’t just about memorizing the parts of the Armor, singing a catchy song, or coloring a picture of a Roman soldier.
INSTEAD,
Our kids need to truly UNDERSTAND what salvation, righteousness, faith, truth, and the gospel of peace are, SO THAT we can do as Paul commands:
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:14)
Once we understand how God’s armor works we can wear it with confidence, and truly experience “his incomparably great power for us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19).
How can our kids grow spiritually AND have fun while doing it?
Learn what salvation, peace,
righteousness, truth, and faith truly
are, through SHORT passages
from the whole book of Ephesians.
(Yes, you can read from the actual Bible
and have meaningful conversations!)
Pray power-packed blessings
straight from Ephesians
over your child and teach them
to pray the Armor of God too.
(Because prayer doesn’t have to be intimidating)
Invite your kids deeper
through interactive extension
activities.
(Choose activities that are actually
relevant to their learning and also really fun,
so your kids beg to do Bible study.)
The 30-day Armor of God Family Bible Study
A 30-day Bible study for families that want to go deeper with God through the Armor of God through the book of Ephesians while also having FUN with your kids!
(Perfect for busy moms, dads, grandparents, and even Christian school teachers.)
Hey, I’m Christie!
I’m a busy parent, just like you.
I was a Children’s Ministry Director for over 10 years and now I homeschool my 3 boys.
I’d love to spend hours a day studying the Bible with my kids, but most days, 5 minutes is all I’ve got.
Between cooking, teaching, working, and their short attention span, I realized I needed a study that packs a theological punch in minimal time, while being engaging to my constantly-moving boys. That’s a hard combination to find!
Since we started using short verse sections mixed with discussion and fun interactive elements, my kids have enjoyed Bible study time more than ever before, and they’re also learning more than I thought possible.
The "days of evil" are here.
(They have been for a couple thousands years actually, and aren’t going anywhere fast.)
We live in a time of unfaithfulness, unrighteousness, and lies. Equip yourself, and equip your kids to STAND THEIR GROUND.

This is a great study that can be done quickly for kids with shorter attention spans, or you can go deeper as well. My kids are 7 & 11, and although I did an Armour of God study with them a few years ago, it’s really neat to see how both they and I have grown and developed different perspectives since last time. I love the various methods of engagement Christie offers in this study as well (singing, making, drawing, researching, etc) so there’s something in it for everyone.
My boys look forward to doing this every am when we’re doing our Bible time! I’ve noticed a bit more cooperation with my boys – especially my tough one! We are now into our 3rd week of homeschooling and it is getting better as we go. He is less resistant and more willing to work! And actually he has been more helpful, especially since my other son broke his arm last Thursday! Praise God for wins (no matter what size they are)!
I love how this study gets me talking with my kids about spiritual warfare. They’re only 2 and 3 years old, but the Scripture readings are short enough for them to sit through and the questions and activities are simple enough for them to understand and enjoy. I find my understanding deepening as well as I engage with the questions, explain the verses to them, and respond to their comments or questions. My daughter was jumping up and down singing with me as we came up with our Armor of God song today, and my son wore his helmet of salvation all day long (even to the restaurant and the park).
BOTH MOMS AND KIDS GROW SPIRITUALLY!
Whether your kids are homeschooling, virtual schooling, in-school schooling, or not old enough for school, this is the perfect, QUICK AND DEEP study for you!

How much time will this take?
Expect to take about 5 minutes per day. If the conversation goes longer, great. If not, that’s still 5 minutes of investment into your child’s spiritual life!
What if I have kids of different ages? Will this work for me?
I specifically write my studies so they can be used by families, together. Whether your child is 3 or 13, they will get something out of the discussion questions because they’ll be able to reflect and answer at their own level. I do very minimal teaching, relying mostly on thoughtful discussion instead.
My kids aren’t interested in Bible study. Will this work for me?
If your children are younger than 3, not interested in the study, or if you don’t even have kids, it is completely appropriate to use on your own. The same discussion questions will lead you to deeper insights into the Armor of God as well, and when God starts changing your heart, it naturally ripples out into your family. You may find that as you tell them your insights, their own hearts become softened and they’ll be more likely to join you.
Will anything be mailed to me?
No. This is a downloadable PDF. You can use it on any device, or print it off. After purchasing, please watch for an email with your download links!
What Bible translation do you use?
The downloadable Bible study itself has Scripture references instead of direct quotes so you can use whatever translation you like. I have provided memory verse posters in several common translations. The optional email series takes quotes from the New International Version (NIV).
I’ve studied the Armor of God before. Is this the same?
Did you know the whole book of Ephesians talks about the armor of God, not just that little section in chapter six? You’ll be reading selections from all over the book! The included reflection/discussion questions will help you dig deeper than ever before, and the suggested activities will have your kids begging to keep going.
Do I need lots of supplies?
Nope! I’m all about simplicity. The optional interactive extension activities are all very simple, and can be done with whatever you have on hand. I give general suggestions, but rely mostly on your child’s imagination, which is always on hand.
Can I print off multiple copies?
You are welcome to print off a copy for everyone in your house, but please don’t share with anyone outside your home UNLESS you have purchase the Group License. The Group License gives you the ability to share the files with anyone in your church, via print, email, or private website/Facebook group.
Are you ready to dig deeper into your faith with your kids than you ever thought possible?
Stop wasting any more time and money on cute pictures of armor and get ready to dig deep while having fun.
