This document outlines a 7-step process for conducting a character study from the Bible: 1) Find relevant verses, 2) Write a biography summarizing the character's background and impact, 3) Identify a key verse that represents the character, 4) Note lessons that can be learned, 5) Consider questions about the character, 6) Apply lessons to one's own life, 7) Share insights with others and commit to another study. The goal is to draw practical life applications by examining the lives of biblical figures.
