Experience: Living Your Faith | Wesleyan Quadrilateral Bible Lesson

Experience: Living Your Faith | Wesleyan Quadrilateral Bible Lesson | Faith Journey Mosaic | Grades 6–12

Help students discover how Experience completes the Wesleyan Quadrilateral through this engaging, project-based Bible lesson! Students explore why John Wesley believed that Christian faith is not only something we believe—it is something we live. They examine how God works through everyday experiences while learning that those experiences are always understood in light of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason.

Through research, discussion, creative planning, and reflection, students collaborate to create a Faith Journey Mosaic that illustrates moments when faith is lived, tested, strengthened, and shared. Along the way, they connect biblical teaching with real-life application and consider how God continues to work in the lives of believers today.
