ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hello!

VOLUME 2: ABOUT THE AUTHOR

DRIVEN BY GRACE®

Hello! My name is Lindsey Carroll, and I am the creator

of Driven By Grace®. I am married to my best friend,

Brendon, and we have been blessed with three

beautiful children together — Easton, Aubrie, and

Camden. Before you start this guide, I'd love to share a

little about my testimony and our family to help you

understand my background and how I began writing

Bible study resources.

First and foremost, I am a believer in Christ, seeking to

know the Lord, His Word, and sharing what I learn with

others. I believe God put this desire in my heart to

teach others about Him through my Bible study

creations. I am merely trying to obey the ideas God has

put on my heart and trust in His purpose for it all.

In October 2019, I left my 7-year marketing career to become a stay-at-home mom. I loved my

job, but I felt like the Lord was calling me to stay home with my kids. After pushing that voice

aside for an entire year, I finally decided to obey the Lord. Coming home was the best decision I

made for my family. That first step of obedience led me to start homeschooling my children,

which then led to the creation of Driven By Grace®. The Lord has graciously guided my family on

a path that is far better than what we had envisioned for ourselves.

I created this Bible study to help my children and other families build a solid foundation and

understanding of the Word of God. I hope this study helps parents feel confident in teaching

their children the Bible. I also pray this study helps children desire to learn more about their

Creator and Savior.

I'm passionate about raising a generation that knows the truth by studying the Bible for

themselves. Teaching our children the Bible is the most important investment we can make as

parents, and I'm grateful to be able to offer a resource to help with that calling!

All glory to God,

VOLUME 2: CORE BELIEFS

DRIVEN BY GRACE®

STATEMENT OF FAITH

Core Beliefs:

It's important for you to know what I believe as a Bible study creator. I urge you to always

measure everything to scripture. I take God's Word very seriously and view it as the ultimate

source of truth and authority. I believe the Bible to be 100% true in all areas and do my absolute

best to make sure my studies are scripturally sound and biblically accurate.

Bible

I believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

I believe that God used human authors under the direction of the Holy Spirit to write exactly

what He wanted without error or contradiction. 2 Peter 1:20-21

I believe the Bible consists of 66 books total between the Old and New Testaments.

God

I believe in one God who is the Creator of all things and has always existed. Genesis 1:1;

Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16

I believe in the Trinity, that God is three distinct persons and all are equally God: God the

Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 1:1-3;

John 15:26

I believe God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, eternal,

unchanging, holy, just, righteous, loving, good, and true.

Jesus

I believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, God incarnate, Savior of the world, the Son of God who

was born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and was raised

from the dead on the third day. Colossians 1:15; John 1:14; Matthew 1:23; 1 John 3:5;

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

I believe Jesus has always existed from the beginning with God. John 1:1-3

I believe Jesus will return again to righteously judge the world at His Second Coming.

Mark 14:24-27; Revelation 19:11-16

Holy Spirit

I believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding

helper, teacher, and guide. Titus 3:5; John 14:26; John 16:7

I believe the Holy Spirit provides spiritual gifting to each believer for the benefit of the body

of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12

Salvation

I believe salvation only occurs through faith in Jesus Christ. John 3:16; John 14:6

I believe salvation is only received through faith and not good works. Ephesians 2:8-9

I believe all believers who have genuinely received Christ as their Savior are sealed with the

Holy Spirit and are eternally secure in Christ. Romans 8:38-39; Ephesians 1:13-14

VOLUME 2: INTRO

DRIVEN BY GRACE®

YOUTUBE

PLAYLIST

Thank you so much for purchasing this study! I'm grateful you see the value and importance of

teaching your kids the foundations of the Bible.

What is this study?

This is a 24-week Bible curriculum that covers the important history and people of the Bible. This

guide focuses on 24 key topics and explains the meaning, context, and background. If you are

in Classical Conversations, this guide pairs with the optional Bible memory work for Cycle 2.

How to use this study?

Each lesson is intended to be taught over one week. However, you can go at a slower pace to

really absorb all the information. I've provided Bible reading that you and your kids should read

in the context of the week's lesson. If you purchased the activity book that pairs with this guide,

then your kids can complete the activity sheets to review the memory work. After you read from

the teacher guide, there are questions at the end to help with comprehension and application.

Additional Learning:

I've provided an additional learning section with video and reading

suggestions to share with your kids. I have noted which videos are more

suitable for older ages due to content and images. I've combined all

the video recommendations into a single YouTube playlist for easy

access as you work through the study. Scan this QR code to access the

videos.

I've also included the related pages for an additional read-aloud

from The Complete Illustrated Children's Bible. This is the most

comprehensive storybook Bible I have found, and I think it's a great

resource for lighter reading of the lessons for younger kids.

Lesson Plans:

Each lesson has an optional lesson plan to show you how to divide the lesson over a 4-day

school week. Think of the lesson plan as a menu that you can pick and choose how much you

want to incorporate. The Foundations of the Bible studies are intended to be repeated every

three years, so you can dive deeper as your children mature.

Overall, I hope this guide is a valuable tool for your entire family. I hope it helps you feel

equipped and confident to teach your kids the Bible. God has given us the greatest

responsibility of teaching our children to walk in His ways, and the best way to do that is through

the daily teaching of His Word.
