One ministry. A clear pathway of studies.
The Way to a Godly Life is a ministry and study. It is home to other discipleship resources built for the same goal — helping believers grow from the gospel, through Peter's eight qualities, and on into the deeper Christian life.
See the Pathway ↓Where to start, and where it leads.
A simple, ordered pathway — begin with the gospel, walk Peter's ladder, and go on into the deeper Christian life.
The foundation. A clear presentation of the gospel — what it is, why it matters, and how it becomes the center of every other pursuit of godliness.
Begin at the GospelPeter's eight qualities, walked through one at a time. Free video teaching, downloadable PDF, and discussion questions for groups or individual study.
Begin the StudyA deeper curriculum for believers ready to go further — biblical theology and systematic theology shaped by the pastoral vision of Richard Baxter.
Continue the JourneyA study of the Preacher's search for meaning, and what Solomon's honesty teaches the modern believer about fearing God and keeping His commandments.
In PreparationWatch this first.
"Will you be holy?" — Pastor Kevin's short message is the starting point for everything here. The gospel, not our own effort, is the foundation for every step of Christian growth. Watch this first, then choose a study.
Pastor Kevin Ivy.
I have been married to Mandy since 1999. Together we have raised our family in Tennessee, where I have served as a pastor for many years — teaching, preaching, and walking alongside ordinary believers who want to grow in Christ.
I first began teaching through 2 Peter 1 more than a decade ago, and I have returned to it again and again in every ministry season since. Peter's eight qualities are not abstract; they are the clearest, most practical map for Christian growth I know of in all of Scripture. This study is the fruit of those years.
We have used Pastor Kevin's study with boys in our detention ministry for years. The framework is biblical, accessible, and genuinely transformative — it meets people where they are and points them to Christ.
