What would it take to become the person God created you to be?
You’d need to know God and let his Word transform your life.
The problem is most people spend their lives stuck in the grind of boring Bible study instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to be their teacher.
Living Word School gives you time and space to experience the Bible as the Living Word of God. You won’t study Greek and Hebrew verbs or write essays on historical context - but you’ll learn to let the Holy Spirit be your teacher as you experience the text.
At Living Word School You'll Get:
- Get 12 weeks of experiencing the scriptures as the Word of God.
- Have your class times led by YWAM Brazil Founder Jim Stier.
- Learn to let the Holy Spirit be your teacher.
- Discover who you are and who you were made to be as you read and meditate on the Bible daily.
- Get set on fire for Jesus and your faith during group and classroom discussion times.
- Have the opportunity to be vulnerable with God and let Him transform your life.
- Find out just how good following Jesus can be.
How can you become who you were made to be?
Believers are taught to study the Bible - and that’s a good thing. But analytical and academic Bible study without revelation from the Holy Spirit will lead to moralism: a lifestyle of trying to create change in your life by keeping rules. Believers that walk out moralism eventually experience burnout and deconstruction.
Bible study alone won’t create change in your life. To be transformed by Scriptures you’ll need to let the Holy Spirit give you revelation as you experience the text. YWAM’s Living Word School gives you 12 weeks of time and space to meditate on the Bible.
Living Word School will set new believers on fire for Jesus and His Word for the rest of their lives. You’ll discover who you were made to be, and you’ll learn to let the Holy Spirit be your teacher. LWS is also a healing and restful time for missionaries that have been on the field for a long time. There’s always more to experience about Jesus and greater revelation to be had. YWAM Living Word School gives you time and space to experience that.

FAQ's
Living Word School creates time and space from you to hear from the Holy Spirit - but unlike a quiet time, LWS takes place in a community setting. You’ll have structure, accountability, and oversight from your school staff.
Traditional Bible Schools place an emphasis on understanding and interpreting the text. This can create a disconnect between knowledge and application. In LWS you’ll focus more on Holy Spirit-inspired revelation and personal application.
LWS is for anyone who wants to grow. It’s great for believers who are ready to be set on fire in their faith. It’s also great for believers who feel like they need a time to rest and recharge. If you’re willing to be vulnerable in sharing how the Holy Spirit is working in you you’ll get a lot out LWS.
The LWS schedule will vary a bit, but generally it looks like this:
6:30-8:30: Meditation and journaling what God is saying
9:00-10:00: Worship with the YWAM Orlando community
10:00-10:30: Social and hangout time
10:30-12:30: Class time with group processing of the Holy Spirit’s teaching
12:30-1:30: Family style lunch with the whole YWAM Orlando community
1:30 - 3:30: Afternoon session and personal work completed in a group environment
3:30-5:00: Personal study time or Community Responsibilities (YWAM work duties)
Everyone will benefit from Living Word School. But it's also the perfect format to present to people groups that have no written language. YWAM is working toward using LWS in God's plan to End Bible Poverty.
