What we’re here to do, and what it’s all built on.
That’s the main goal. Paul talks about Christians who still need milk when they ought to be eating meat, and a lot of believers stay right there for years. We want to help people move past that. We do it through Bible-based articles, mentorship, a podcast, a video series, and practical tools for studying the Bible.
Whether you just got saved, you’ve been at this a while, or you’re running dry and need some encouragement, you’re welcome here, and so are your questions and doubts. We especially want to reach young believers who are trying to figure out what they believe for the first time.
We aren’t connected to any church, denomination, or organization. That doesn’t mean we answer to nobody. Trusted mentors and peers review everything we put out for accuracy and tone, and if you think we got something wrong, tell us. We’re open to correction.
We also aren’t going to water down what the Bible says. We try to keep our own opinions out of it and let Scripture speak. We won’t always get it right, but the Bible is the standard, not us.
Everything we do comes back to the Word of God. We want to give you the tools to study the Bible for yourself, know what you believe and why, and keep growing until you can help someone else do the same. And we aren’t a replacement for your local church. We want to send you back to it better equipped.
Do you have a question about faith, life, or how they connect? Send it to us and you might hear it answered on our podcast or video series. If you want to share your own story, we are always looking for guests to join the conversation.
This is where most people meet us. The podcast, YouTube, the Growing in Grace app (with Frank, our in-app study assistant), and the Draw the Line book series all exist to show what it looks like to put God first and trust Him with the details. Our main focus is teaching believers between fifteen and twenty-five to study the Bible and grow in it, but the content is for any believer who wants to grow.
Construction and repair, help with real needs, and outreach crews for churches and organizations who share our convictions. This part isn’t active yet. We’re building the foundation now and plan to launch by the end of 2027.
Raising up the mentors and leaders who will run future crews, teach seminars, and eventually carry this work. An organization that runs through one person doesn’t last past that person.
A lot of ministries aimed at young people settle for keeping them engaged. We don’t think engagement is the goal. Understanding is, and obedience follows understanding. Iron sharpeneth iron (Proverbs 27:17), but that only works when people are willing to be sharpened instead of just soothed.
This is what we hold to. Everything we teach, write, and build has to line up with it. If you want the short version first, start with What Do I Believe?
We hold to the King James Bible as the verbally inspired, inerrant word of God, and it’s the only authority for what we teach here. We read it literally and in context, for what it actually says. Tradition doesn’t get to change what it means. Neither does culture, and neither do our feelings.
Scholars and commentators have a lot to offer, and the people who studied Scripture carefully before us deserve a hearing. But when a scholar and the Bible disagree, the Bible wins. That isn’t a side rule. Everything else rests on it. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).
Salvation is by grace, through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. It isn’t earned. Christ died for sin and rose bodily from the grave, and nothing you do adds to that. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1).
That freedom isn’t permission to do whatever you want. It breaks sin’s hold on you, so you can serve God because you want to, not because you have to. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14).
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20). That isn’t just a word picture. It’s real. You don’t make yourself holy by trying harder, any more than a branch grows fruit by straining. You stay connected to Christ through Scripture and prayer, and the Holy Spirit produces the fruit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
That’s why we don’t treat the Christian life as a checklist. Putting rules on the outside when nothing has changed on the inside is legalism dressed up as conviction. But the other ditch is just as real. Using liberty as an excuse to indulge yourself is what Jude calls turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (Jude 4). Both of those hurt people. Living for God takes a real relationship with Him, not a set of rules borrowed from somebody else’s convictions.
I know as my walk with God grew, I started to question things I’d been taught and had just accepted. Studying the Scriptures for myself is what settled my convictions. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another (Galatians 5:13).
Submitting to church leadership matters. Your pastor and leaders are responsible for watching over the congregation, and they’ll answer to God for how they did it. But your conscience answers to God first. If leadership ever asks you to do something that goes against Scripture, Peter already answered that one: We ought to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29). Standing on that takes humility, not a rebellious attitude.
Everything we build, from the app to the study resources to the books, is built on what’s above. If you want to dig in, start with Study the Word, or reach out through Get Involved.
