What is the W4?

At Lifepointe we want to have a common path of discipleship centered around the Word of God. So, as a church, we use a method of Bible study that we call the W4. Walking through a common content in our personal devotional time allows us to have a common language which leads to common conversations on the pathway toward spiritual maturity.


How does it Work?

Focus on one chapter a week reading the same chapter and answering one question each day. Each question centers around a word that begins with W: Who, Will, Word, and Walk. You can use the remaining days in the week to review and add to what you've answered.

Below you will find the W4 questions for adults as well as an adaptation for kids. We are reading through Judges and Proverbs this year. Check out the reading schedule at the bottom of the page and join us.



W4 Biblical Worldview Method


  • Who He Is

    What specific attributes of the glory and character of God the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit are displayed in the passage?


    In what ways do these attributes help me understand who God is, how He works, and who I am?

  • Will

    What specific aspects of the will of God are revealed here? (Focus on the actual words)


    What, then, does God expect of me in light of what He instructs here?

  • Word

    Scripture interprets scripture. What common or similar words are found in the text? As you see them, write them down.


    Now, look at the cross-reference in your Bible and read some of those verses. How do the cross references affirm the current passage, or how do they help you see anything new?

  • Walk

    Look again at the specific aspects of God’s will in the 2nd W. In what specific ways can I live out His will, or what action point(s) does the text encourage me to walk in?
