From the tiniest words to the larger historical context, the Bible becomes richer with every level and type of engagement. The many layers of scripture are also why the Bible can be overwhelming! It's hard to believe you'll ever truly understand it all, but God knows where you need to start. He can lead you deeper. When you engage His Word you can count on His help.

In each session, you will study a passage of scripture to learn and then practice one of six Bible study principles. You will choose a focus and begin at your own starting point, following the Holy Spirit to new learning. Your personal focus will set you on your own journey, and your individual learning will add to the collective understanding of your group. Small pieces always lead to deeper and richer places in scripture!

Rather than a classic Bible study with predetermined steps, these practices will set you up for personal encounters with a living God. As you experiment in each session, you will gain confidence whether you've never studied the Bible before or done scores of studies. Get ready for a fresh, personal, life-giving experience with the Word of God!

1. Begin at your own starting point—the study is different for each person.
2. Practice listening and following the promptings of the Spirit as you read.
3. Bring your personal study insights back to your group for even richer collective learning.

The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
