Live Full Walk Free: Set Apart in a Sin-Soaked World

by Cindy Bultema

In this six-session Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Cindy Bultema explores Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and shows how believers today can navigate their way in a wayward and confused culture. She reveals how Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthians—the “Sin City” of its day—to help them cultivate holy lives not by their own strength but through the power of Jesus Christ. Touching on themes of identity, unity, purpose, and purity, this study will equip you to live for God in a sin-soaked world and handle each situation with grace.

I'm still going through this study, and so far, this is one of my favorite new Bible studies.
I love how Cindy takes us "to the streets" of Corinth and walks us among the people and shares how Paul compassionately and sternly directs the new Christians to walk closer with the Father and remember the teachings of Jesus.
Cindy then turns toward us, the studier, and helps direct us back toward the Father and teachings of Jesus.
I love Cindy's transparency and practicality of putting what we learn to use in our everyday life.

I highly recommend Live Full, Walk Free to anyone that wants to go deeper than just a 5 minute reading or study.
Each day takes an in-depth look into the Scripture and each day left me very contemplative of Who God is to me, and how my heart lines up with His truth.

Not only is Life Full Walk Free an excellent book, but an incredible bible study as well! Super easy to follow along by yourself, with a friend or as a group! But the best part, is that even if you do read it by yourself, you’ll feel like you have a friend with you the whole entire time. Cindy has an amazing gift of connecting to her readers and making you feel as if she's right there with you - encouraging you, uplifting you and giving you hope along the way. She shares from true life events, some that are filled with heartbreak and sorrow, as she shares from her personal trials, as well as many relatable, daily issues that make you say “Me too!” But all are filled with the hope that only Jesus brings. This book brought me deepened hope and encouragement as a mom and in raising my three daughters. That no matter how bad everything looks, no matter how far I’ve run, or how bad it gets, there is always Jesus! His kindness, His grace, His love.. it covers everything! You need to pick up this book and be encouraged to live full and walk free!

Live full walk free is the best Bible study I have been blessed to do all year. I was gifted with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an unbiased review. And let me tell you it is EASY to find wonderful things to say about this Bible study.
Cindy takes us through such an exciting adventure as we dig into God’s word, tackling some very sensitive subjects with such grace and beauty, helping you dig deep into scripture.
Live full and walk free is the perfect name for this Bible study. I found myself much fuller and free as I finished the study.
I would highly recommend the Bible study for you as an individual , or even better have your church or small group do it. It is very relevant, humor-filled and yet deep. The accompanying video teaching is an excellent companion to the study. Cindy will have you in laughter and in tears through her powerful ability to teach God’s word with grace, passion and truth.
I cannot wait for you to experience Living Full and Walking Free.

Though I’m only mid-way through this study, I am so enjoying Life Full, Walk Free by Cindy Bultema! The study focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians, a letter from Paul to people he loved and worked with for some time. Cindy draws so many parallels between our current culture and the sin-soaked world of the Corinthian people. It is so easy to think we’re the only society that has ever been corrupt to this level, but not so. The church in Corinth had so many of the same issues in Paul’s day, and Cindy uses Paul’s words of encouragement and correction to shine light on what we can do in our world today. Not only do we read the Word itself, but the study is structured to help us dig deep into what God’s truths are, how we can apply them in the here and now, and plenty of space for personal response. Excited to keep working through this and see where it leads! *I was supplied with an advance copy of this book in exchange for my impartial review.*

I love love love this book! This study takes a walk through 1 Corinthians. I have gotten to know Cindy through a launch team I am part of. Cindy has a heart for God and her personality shines through on every page. Every chapter you read brings you not only closer to Cindy, but closer to God. From reading this book I understand that I am so much more than my past. I am more then any sin I have ever committed. I am a daughter of Christ and I am loved. Thank you Cindy for strengthening my walk with Christ. You have pushed me to let people know that God loves them, and that no matter what they are forgiven.

Cindy Bultem's "Live Full Walk Free" Bible study does not disappoint! If you loved "Red Hot Faith" you will love "Live Full Walk Free." In her new study Cindy walks us through the love and grace of 1 Corinthians. This study, like "Red Hot Faith" is Bible based and helps make scripture a daily and applicable part of each and every day while you live using "lenses of love, wearing glasses of grace." - Cindy Bultema. I am thankful that Cindy listens so close for God and that God uses her life to make His word so clear to us.

Cindy clearly portrays life in Corinth in Biblical times and demonstrates that it's not a whole lot different than life today. The message Paul shares is just as relevant to us now as it was then. Cindy breaks it down and personalizes the messages so I can apply the principles directly to my life. I appreciate her honest, openness about her experiences. It's so meaningful to know she's walking along side me in my journey, not just preaching at me. The depth of the study and time it takes to do the lessons are perfect - not too long, but "meaty" enough for me to think about something new every day. I highly recommend this study to all women living life today!

This book and Bible study came at just the right time for me! I have been reading through the Bible in a year and I just got to 1 Corinthians. I am really enjoying this book so much....the author's background and descriptions of the city of Corinth has made this study come alive. Her own story of hitting rock bottom and then finding healing was inspiring. The study questions and readings for digging deeper have made this a very excellent and interesting study!

I am right in the middle of Cindy Bultema's new Bible study of 1st. Corinthians, Live Full Walk Free. She has an engaging style that brings life to Biblical history relating it to life challenges, through study, reflection and prayer. It's a study that feeds me and encourages me. It is interactive and inspirational. I recommend it for small groups looking for a study with practical application and spuritual growth.

This Bible study is so relevant for today. I would encourage anyone leading a women's ministry to take a look at this 6 week study for their church in the 2021 season. I have been able to apply so many of the principles to my life as a Christian in this time.

Cindy is such an effective communicator, she is so knowledgeable about the city of Corinth and Paul's letter to them. However, she simplifies her message so anyone would be able to follow along and gain not only Bible wisdom but personal insight on this journey. Her book is well written with relatable examples. This Study is pretty homework intensive, having 5 days of questions per week, so I would recommend letting women know that in advance when they are signing up for a group study. This study would be beneficial to do alone, in a small group and could be easily used in a large group women's ministry.

[Danna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great study of how to "live in the world but not be in the world". The author's writing is straightforward and candid. She holds nothing back but speaks with love. It is a good study to read when you are struggling with the gray areas of your life. She gives practically advise and comparisons with the writings of Paul to the Corinthians on how to live a victorious life in this crazy world. It is a six week course of study but it took me 4 months to finish. I like to work my way slowly through the study of God's Word to make sure I am understanding and taking in all he has to offer me.

Great devotional. It challenged me in just the ways I needed it to.

[Deborah Richmond · Rating 5 out of 5]

Powerful

I am more like the Corinthian believers than I want to admit. Paul's letter speaks directly to me. Thank God, I realize that I AM LOVED and it changes everything.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of Live Full Walk Free, by Cindy Bultema, in exchange for my honest review.

I can't say enough good about this book! Cindy Bultema so vividly brings to life some of today's toughest issues we as Christian's may be dealing with, or have dealt with in our past. This study on Paul's letter to the church in Corinth could have been written to believers living in our "Sin Soaked World," today.

Cindy is so transparent with her own past, and unashamedly tells the truth of how she overcame a past life of drugs, promiscuity, and addiction, and turned her life over to Jesus. Cindy's style of writing just draws me in, and makes it so hard to want to put this book down. She reminds us that no matter what our past looks like, nothing we have done, nothing that has been done to us, nothing we might do, can keep Jesus from loving us and forgiving us of our sins! When we trust in Him, and give Him control of our lives, we will have the ability to Live Full and Walk Free!

This book is meant as a six week study and in each section you will find, and introduction, a "Digging Deeper" section, and an "Apply It" section, where you can put truth into your own life. There are also six Bible Verses to memorize for the weekly sections. Cindy recommends writing the memory verses on index cards and putting them on your bathroom mirror, or anywhere that you will be sure to see them several times daily. I put mine on the dashboard of my car too!

I highly recommend this study for all! Grab some friends, or suggest this study for your next Women's study at your Church! This study can be done alone, but we are always better together! So go ahead and grab your copy, and begin your journey to Live Full and Walk Free!

I have received an ARC in exchange for an honest review of Live Full Walk Free by Cindy Bultema.

Cindy Bultema brings to life, the city and people of Corinth as she takes us on a journey through 1 Corinthians and how Paul helped turn the people of Corinth from a life of sin to a life filled with God. Live Full Walk Free has been a page turner for me and I haven't been able to put it down! The world today looks a lot like the city of Corinth, filled to the brim with too much sin and not enough believers in the One who can set us free. Live Full Walk Free is about telling those who don't know and reminding those who have forgotten, that God's love covers a multitude of sins! She reminds us that it doesn't matter what we have done, or what has been done to us, when we turn to Jesus and give him our heart and control of our life we have the ability to live a full life and Walk Free of the person we once were before his love surrounded us. Live Full Walk Free is a book with a bible study built straight into it and I have enjoyed every single activity I've done so far. I have yet to finish the book, but I don't hesitate to give it 5 out of 5 stars! This would make an excellent gift for anyone on your gift list who may need a reminder of just how far God's love reaches, no matter what they've done or what has been done to them.

"And remember, with Jesus it's shame off you, not shame on you." -Cindy Bultema, Live Full Walk Free

Cindy is a good Bible teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed going through her Bible study, Live Full, Walk Free. This is a study based in the book of 1 Corinthians. It is a good study for women who are new to Bible studies as well as women who have been studying the Bible for years.

Cindy has a heart full of compassion for women, and she teaches with authenticity, love, and a passion for Jesus and His Word. She shows women how to walk in freedom and live in the identity of who they are in Christ. She shares stories from her own life, giving hope to women that they, too, can live full and walk free.

The teaching videos for this study are excellent and memorable. Cindy is warm, authentic, loving, and wise. She has a heart for helping women understand the Word of God and apply it to their lives. She is an engaging speaker who is easy to listen to. I especially liked her creative use of props in her lessons to help the listener remember all that is being taught.

If you are looking for a Bible study for a women’s group, for your personal study, or for a few girlfriends to do together, I recommend Live Full, Walk Free!

I was given a pre-release copy of the Bible study. All opinions in this review are my own.

After only reading a few chapters, I am so encouraged to grow in my faith. Cindy sets such a beautiful example as an author coming alongside you on this journey through 1 Corinthians. She tackles some tough subjects in this study, which I appreciate.

My favorite quote: The peace we are all searching for and longing for will never be found in a steamy relationship, self-condemnation, or social media. His name is Jesus.

This would be a great study to go through with a group of women together. Cindy has been through some really hard times but instead of giving up, she turned her life over to Jesus and through His power now shares her story so we too can know the truth of God’s Word.

The letter of I Corinthians comes alive as Cindy Bultema dives into Paul’s letter to the ancient church of Corinth. With her passionate prose, she shows us how this Scripture is as relevant to Christian culture today as it was to the early church in Corinth. Her desire for women to live full, abundant lives is a message that jumps from the pages as she leads you on a journey to know truth, live truth, and share the truth of God’s love. This Bible study can be done as a standalone but I believe it is even more powerful when paired with the teaching dvds. In book form or video form, Cindy will have you smiling, crying, and laughing as you replace the lies of guilt and shame in your life with God’s magnificent grace and the truth of His lavish love. **I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review. **

This study does a great job of helping to balance the conundrum of what Pinterest makes me feel like I need to be… and reality. I am more than the sins of my past, but perfection is not expected. I’m about to begin chapter 4 and I already see the teaching of Cindy being put to work! I can already hear her voice in my head helping to decipher the “Capital T Truth!” I’m so excited to continue reading my e-copy… but I’m totally purchasing the full study and DVD’s! I look forward to this being in my library for a long time! I think I may even get it for some girlfriends for a Christmas gift!

This Bible study is life-changing. Cindy Bultema has been through so many challenges in her life and has come out on the other side with freedom through Christ. She shares examples from her own life that tie into the lessons. These lessons are Biblically based and challenge the reader to think about her own faith and how these lessons can apply in daily life. I highly recommend this study!

I am almost finished this book and am in love with the message. It’s delivered in a down to earth and practical way. Application is explained to help apply it to your life more easily. I have also been privileged to get a sneak peek at some of the video messages and they are also well done.
