Armor of God

A Bible Study for Tweens and Parents in Today’s Spiritual Battle

Equip your child for the battle ahead.

An invisible, spiritual battle is waging around us, a battle between God and Satan for control of our lives. In spite of God’s truth that the battle has already been won, Satan’s primary goal is to separate us from God and convince us that he holds absolute power over us.

Armor of God unpacks the six pieces of armor that God has revealed as essential tools to defend against Satan’s schemes on earth. Alongside their tween, parents will uncover important truths to better understand the enemy and how he works to ambush, outflank, and outsmart God’s army. Most importantly, parents and tweens will learn to use their God-given armor and employ strategies to defeat the one true enemy. In addition to guided Bible study and “Letters from the Battlefield,” Armor of God includes conversation starters and fun activities that will open a dialogue between parents and tweens and draw them deeply into God’s Word together.

  • Armor of God is just the resource I’m looking for as a mom of two tweens. Full of conversation-starting questions, bonding activities, and practical ways to put what we’re learning together into action, this book equipped me to help my kids face the very real war before them. Working through this resource, I (for the first time in a long time) found myself helping my daughters get dressed—this time with holy, kingdom-forged armor.
    – JL Gerhardt, Author & Minister
  • I loved every chapter of this book! My favorite chapter in Armor of God is the Shield of Faith. Being a single mom, ‘faith over…’ became my mantra, and I said it over and over again when I needed a gentle reminder of Gods promises to me. I loved Catherine reminding me that the Shield of Faith is not something you wear, but rather we use it to cover ourselves from evil and trust God’s love for us no matter what we are going through. My faith can move mountains!

  • Parents and ministry leaders alike will be blessed by this work. As a father, I love the idea of using this text as a tool in equipping my 4th grader with The Armor of God as he prepares to enter Middle School. As a veteran Student Ministry Pastor, I appreciate how this tool equips parents for their role of discipleship, but also lends itself to use in a ministry context. The suggested activities in the text, as well as the Letters from the Battlefield, illustrate clearly the immediate and long-term application for the armor of God in the life of both student and adult. Enjoy this special journey with the Tween in your life!

  • As a parent of five, I can attest to the spiritual warfare plaguing our nation’s youth. Armor of God is just the fortification our family needs to help fight the battle. I am looking forward to sharing Cat’s thoughts and insights with not just my teenage sons, but also with the rest of my children and their friends. This book is designed for us, Boy Moms. We need all the reinforcements we can get!
    – Erica Jones, Mom of Five

We are called as parents to equip our children and teach them the ways of the Word so they do not become causalities to the ways of the world. - Catherine Bird #armorofgodstudy
What I have come to realize from walking with God is that he doesn't always call the influential, noble, or qualified in this world; he uses ordinary people to achieve his purpose. - Juliana Murillo #armorofgodstudy

You have the authority in Jesus's name to shut the enemy down and walk forward in faith without fear. - Catherine Bird #armorofgodstudyt
While the enemy can make our lives pretty miserable from time to time, he does not have the power or authority to separate you from God. - Catherine Bird #armorofgodstudy
Following Jesus requires the ability to make choices that go against what we might specifically want in the present and quite honestly against primarily what society says is good for us. - Breck Echelberger #armorofgodstudy
