Becoming a person of integrity first requires a change of heart, and that change of heart begins to show in what we do and say. This series of real-life and near-real-life examples nudge the participants into biblical principles for living the way Christ would want us to live.

What consists real faith, rather than just living a religiously acceptable life? What are matters of practice, as opposed to practices that matter because they are from the heart? What is living for Christ, as opposed to just living and not crossing a certain line? These questions are explored in "Faith vs. Religiosity."

The case study is a method of examining stories - some fictional; some real with fictionalized names - that prompt LIFE Groups to find the biblical principles that need to be applied / should have been applied in the situations described. They are real-life examples that put living for Christ into practical terms.
