Good Thursday morning, ladies!
We pray all is well with you and yours this day.
Originally, we had the thought to post this on Monday, but then the big Winter Storm of 2014 blew in and kind of threw our system off kilter. We ended up posting information about Bible study instead, and the next day we hunkered down at our respective homes while the ice and snow barely reached the ground on Tuesday. Needless to say, things unexpected and unplanned for ended up swirling and here we are and it’s Thursday and I was not going to let this post go to waste.
If she comes to mind, you wouldn’t waste a prayer on Beth, or any of her family or LPM as she is preparing simultaneously for multiple teaching opportunities. Ones that have been on the calendar for well over a year, but the time is now so she’s neck deep in preparartion. I know I don’t have to tell you that she is one of the hardest workers I know which in return blesses us. We’re so grateful for your prayers and support. We love y’all so much.
So, onto Bible study! We usually don’t wait until nearly the end of January to hear from you about Bible study, but it’s better late than never, right?
Inquiring minds want to know, what Bible study are you digging into this semester? As we’ve mentioned here a few times, we just launched our Tuesday night Bible study titled: Breath: The Life of God in Us, but we want to know what you are up to?
How about we do this, tell us your name, your city and your Bible study of choice and if you’re going at it solo or with a group or leading or attending. There are countless studies out there today, so do not feel one ounce of pressure (and please do not hear us saying) that we only want to know if you’re doing a “Beth Moore” Bible study. It is our joy to hear all the different authors you are studying under!
We even want to hear from you if what you’re committed to this semester, or this year, is reading through the Bible in one year. That’s big, B I G, and we want to cheer you on and walk alongside you. Sometimes we’re not committed to something until we speak it out loud or write it down for someone else to see. A little accountability never hurt anyone!
To make it fun, I’ll go ahead and post my answer in the comments! I miss doing that!
This is short and sweet but we’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Monday nigths with some great ladies from my church
We’re doing “The Life You’ve Always Wanted” by John Ortberg
Our group is just beginning “Gideon” by Priscilla Shirer. We just finished “One in a Million.” We meet every Thursday evening and our time together is such a blessing. We have done every Beth Moore study except “Daniel” and the new study just out. “Daniel” will be our next study and our friends who have already finished “Daniel” tell us we are in for some good stuff. We are so grateful to have great Bible teachers available to us even though we live in such a small town. Blessings to you!
My small group just started The Daniel Plan by Pastor Rick Warren! 🙂
We just started “Jesus, the One and Only” last week. We had to cancel this week due to snow. We have 30 ladies signed up. Praise the Lord – I know great things are going to happen.

Church wide we are doing the “Discipleship Reading Plan” on YouVersion. This will be my third time to read the Bible through. It’s so encouraging to do it together with your church family. 🙂
We are doing Kelly Minter’s study, Ruth, with 30 women. We will also be doing One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp this semester. Another group from our church is doing Angela Thomas’s study, Brave.

Tacoma, Washington We are studying Beth Moore’s “The Patriarchs”. It is amazing.
We are studying A Woman’s Heart God’s Dwelling Place. We are a group of about 20 ladies who meet in our home. Only 4 of us have done this study before and I’m not one of them. I’m glad to finally be studying the Tabernacle!
Yesterday we talked about the clouds (pillar of, God’s chariot,Ascension, Return) …and the news was that we had clouds ourselves that day…a God thing! (We live in a climate where it is easy to picture what Jesus meant when He likened the Pharisees to clouds that do not rain.)
I lead a women’s small group in Calgary, AB, Canada, and we’re just finishing up Priscilla Shirer’s Gideon. We think we’ll do a book study next, just not sure which one.
Thanks for all the great suggestions of studies, ladies! God bless.
I am leading 4-6 of us ladies, who meet every other week. We are doing ‘Sacred Secret’ by Beth. Located in Philip, SD
I from Galva, IL, and the last study I did at First Christian Church, was Esther-Beth Moore. It was excellent. I have started a bible plan to read the bible all the way through this year. I am currently ready “Believing God”-Beth Moore. It is awesome. I would like a study on the other women in the bible. But I’m not picking!
Pat, Plattsburgh NY
A small group of three friends is doing Set Apart ( a study on the beatitudes) by Jennifer Kennedy Dean.

Joni in Littleton CO with my good friend Denise…taking us through Believing God (my 3rd time and her first)
The first time I took it transformed my life in HUGE ways…I am anticipating a WORD this time!
I am in Deuteronomy: Law of Love by Beth with 10 women. At the same time across the hall at church, some women are doing Living Beyond Yourself by Beth. And others are doing Seeking Him by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Then on a different day, some some women are doing John Beloved Disciple by Beth, and more women are doing Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. But we all did The Inheritance by Beth in the fall. It became one of my favorites.
We are considering ‘AWoman’s Heart’ for our upcoming Bible study. Are you enjoying it? What can you tell me about it?
What can you tell me about ‘The Inheritance’?
‘The Inheritance’? Can you give me some info on this study? Is it a DVD study?
The Inheritance is DVD study. It did not have homework with it. We wrote our own homework to go with it. The video by Beth is so good!
Read Thru The Word with Wendy Pope online with daily videos. This will be my second year doing this. We are reading the one year chronological Bible (NLT). I was never able to get through the entire Bible until reading it in chronological order. It has helped me to get a better grasp on the storyline and order. And then I am in a book study at church on Wed. nights reading Captivating.
our wonderful, faithful ladies from Chets Creek church starting Sacred Secrets this coming Tuesday morning
OKlahoma gal! Parables and Word Pictures by Cheri Cowell- Following God through the Bible
I have done several of these series.

Awesome!
I am co-leading a college women’s Bible study on Monday nights and we are studying “Living Free” the first half of the semester and “Sacred Secrets” the second half. We have a wonderful group of sophomore college girls who are very serious about their faith and growing in the Lord! – Mandy, Grove City, PA
Cindy, Columbus, OH—currently doing three studies at three different locations:
Breaking Free by my favorite, Beth
Stronger by Angela Thomas
and
Soul Healing by Tammy Smith
These three are complementing each other so beautifully and I’m discovering keys to freedom and release from captivities. Hooray!
BethAnn – Harrisburg, PA
Online: “Intentionally Focused” with Good Morning Girls and “Made to Crave” by Lysa TerKeurst with Proverbs 31 Ministries.
Around the Table: Wednesday night women’s bible study at CLA “Unglued” by Lysa TerKeurst.
I live in DeWitt Arkansas. I am attending a Bible Study at FUMC where we are doing When Godly People Do Ungodly Things by Beth Moore. On Tuesday evenings I am leading a Beth Moore study on Revelation called Here and Now, Then and There. This will be my third time to facilitate a group thru the Revelation study. Love it!!!!
My small home group from Elmbrook church in Wisconsin is studying Be Amazed Minor Prophets Volume 1 Warren Wiersbe. It’s very challenging and we are seeing so many parallels to our culture. God’s great love and justice come out strong. Attending with 12 other singles and couples. Halfway through Sacred Secrets solo. Teaching “Knowing God Personally” at Milwaukee county correctional facility through Cru to a very enthusiastic group of women. I go home and fall on my knees thanking God for the privilege of being in His ministry there and amazed at the power of the Holy Spirit working in all of us that meet.
Anne,Simpsonville, SC I am leading about 35 women through Priscilla Shirer’s One in a Million at First Baptist of Simpsonville and with 6 women at Earle Street Baptist. It is a wonderful study that is really speaking to each of us. Reading through the Bible in a year with my church and the snowy weather cancelled Bible study and gave me a chance to catch up on Bible reading.
Cherie in Blakely, Ga. I’m doing A Woman’s Heart, God’s Dwelling Place. I am reading it on my own and enjoying learning about the Tabernacle. God’s attention to every detail and His love for us is amazing.
Rebecca from Las Vegas. I’m leading a study on Wednesday nights at our church. It’s Stasi Eldredge’s book “Becoming Myself”. We are about to start week 4. Its been amazing. I truly believe every female needs to read this book. At least twice.
Daina – Choctaw, OK – leading a small group in my home of co-ed “unchurched” teenagers and we are FINALLY finishing up Beth’s Patriarchs study, even though we were supposed to be done before Christmas…lots of weather, illness, and circumstantial cancellations. It was an interesting study to do with that group for sure..but I really hope that they have been blessed and inspired to see how the fathers and families of our faith were as messed up as us and ours!
Next we will be going through the Story bible with study material by Randy Frazee.
And I’m hoping to work in Priscilla Shirer’s book Resolution sometime soon and then some of Beth’s Kindle giveaways that I downloaded!
The books just for me, I mean, not my group 🙂
Hello. I am brand new to this blog and just want to share that I am in the middle of the studying Lisa Harper’s “The Nearness of King Jesus”. A bunch of us girls meet at our church, watch the video, share our week, discuss questions and pray. I am so happy to see Hebrews through Lisa’s teaching. I do love Beth Moore studies and I look forward to being in one again soon.
God bless and keep all of you in the areas that are affected by the “Artic Blast of 2014”.
Nikki from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania small group starting Breaking Free by Beth Moore on Feb. 2nd! I am so excited for this study, as I was prepping to lead I watched the extra videos and started watching the intro session. I could feel the Holy Spirit’s anointing on this study!
I lead a small discipleship group at Christ the King Lutheran Church. Every January, we start by offering “Breaking Free”. I’m also part of a larger group at our church that is studying “Sacred Secrets”.
I’m part of the group of 500 women in Atlanta doing Nancy McGuirk’s study of Philippians entitled “To Live is Christ” and we love it! The workbook is rich and challenging and her commentaries on DVD are great — highly recommend this study.
We started off our January with a renewal of our “Secret Place” and times with HIM by doing “Sacred Secrets”! WOW! My January has been so sweet nestled in my secret place with HIM! It is kind of a revival for me! THANKS to Beth and Lifeway for putting this little study together! We are so grateful to have that renewal of our times with HIM in the secret!
FORGOT to say that our Sacred Secrets study is a group of about 20 of us studying the Word together on Weds. mornings in Flagstaff, AZ.
