Bible Studies
Influence Livestock Ministries Bible studies are designed to help men, women, and young adults strengthen their relationship with Christ while building authentic community with others who share similar experiences and stages of life. Through practical, Scripture-centered discussions, each study applies biblical truth to the everyday challenges and joys of life in agriculture, encouraging participants to grow in their faith.
By offering groups tailored to different ages, genders, and life seasons, each Bible study creates a welcoming environment where meaningful conversations, genuine friendships, and spiritual growth can flourish. Whether you're navigating college, building a family, or leading in your home and community, these studies provide biblical encouragement, accountability, and a reminder that our ultimate goal is to know Christ more deeply and help others do the same.
The Pursuit Men's Bible Study
The Men’s Bible Study is where Influence Livestock Ministries began. What started as a small group of men with a desire to grow in their faith has become a weekly gathering of men from across the livestock industry who are committed to studying God’s Word, encouraging one another, and living out their faith both at home and in the cattle business.
This study is designed to equip men to become godly leaders, husbands, fathers, friends, and examples in their communities. Through biblical teaching, honest discussion, and prayer, men are challenged to strengthen their relationship with Christ and encourage one another through every season of life.

Influence Men's Hump Day Bible Study
The Hump Day Bible Study is a midweek opportunity to pause, refocus, and be encouraged by God’s Word. This study takes an in-depth look at the lives of real men in the Bible—their victories, failures, faith, and struggles—and explores how God used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.
Each week, participants discover timeless biblical principles by studying the lives of men such as Abraham, Moses, David, Joseph, Peter, Paul, and many others. Through these real-life examples, men are challenged to strengthen their walk with Christ, become godly leaders in their homes and communities, and faithfully live out God’s calling in every aspect of life, including the livestock industry.
Whether you’re new to Bible study or have studied Scripture for years, the Hump Day Bible Study offers practical teaching, authentic discussion, prayer, and encouragement to help you grow deeper in your faith.
