Testimonials


"RVL Discipleship is as riveting to me as it is to our 15-, 13-, and 11-year olds. I like how it’s a high school senior-level class made accessible to all ages and stages within the home. We’re a home-educating family, and one of the very few things I wish our kids could experience from “regular school” is that Bible teacher who makes Scripture come alive... That’s RVL!

Thanks for making this curriculum available. It’s the most important 30 minutes of our educational day for sure."



"Thank you so much for your time... I listened to the free lessons and was instantly hooked. I’m so excited to start this. It is a blessing. Thank you so much!"



"We just started Lesson 1 and it was so, so POWERFUL!!!!!! Wow, not only did all four of my kids, from K-7th grade learn, but I learned so much, too! I can’t wait for Lesson 2. Thank you again! Such a blessing."



"I have loved watching RVL’s videos. His stories and perspective wake up my mind and heart to reality, and I can see that on my kids’ faces. They’re engaged. They’re tracking."
