Description

Life of David Course Overview

This live online Bible class for homeschool students explores the remarkable life of King David through an in-depth character study of one of Scripture’s most influential leaders. Families can explore all of our Bible courses for homeschool students.

Students examine David’s triumphs, failures, faith, and repentance to better understand why the Bible describes him as a man after God’s own heart.

Through careful study of the biblical narrative, students explore questions such as: What enabled David to trust God in the face of danger? How did his relationship with the Lord shape his leadership and worship? What lessons from David’s life still speak to believers today?

As we walk through David’s story—from shepherd boy to king—students discover how God uses imperfect people for His purposes and how a heart devoted to worship can influence the world.

In addition to the weekly passages studied, students will read through the entire book of Psalms during the course. Audio versions will be recommended for students who prefer listening. Scripture memorization will be encouraged and rewarded but will not be required.

What Students Will Learn in the Life of David

  • The biblical story of David from shepherd boy to king
  • The spiritual lessons found in David’s victories and failures
  • How David’s relationship with God shaped his leadership

Testimonials

Ms. Baer’s ability to make lessons both engaging and meaningful really sets her apart. She brings the material to life in a way that keeps students interested while also helping them truly understand, and we’ve been so impressed that we’re already looking forward to enrolling in our third class with her this fall!

Howell, Parent

Mama Baer’s Life of David class was probably the best class I’d ever taken! I loved the guided notes she had for us every week, as well as all the hands-on projects, discussions, and assignments. She was super engaging in class and even outside of the classroom, so the class was fun and the content really stuck with us.

Mrs. Baer is an absolute treasure! Down-to-earth, always smiling, and she just “has a way” with the high school age group. Her before-class prayers were heartfelt. Thankful my son was part of her class.

This was my daughter’s first introduction to MyFunScience and it set the bar high. Mrs. Baer is one of the sweetest teachers I’ve ever seen interact with kids—even online. She has a gift for making each student feel heard and valued. Her heart for God is evident in everything she does, and she is an organized, engaging instructor with excellent command of the material. I have no hesitation recommending this class.
