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!

We have 3 large groups at church doing: Believing God, Living Beyond Yourself Fruit of The Spirit and Revelation-all by Beth! Thank you for keeping us all in His Word.
BREAKING FREE!!! I am doing this alone but with Jesus.
Daniel, my sixth Beth study, with another friend. I love Beth’s idea of God putting Israel on “hold” on the phone while He deals with the Gentiles, but He hasn’t hung up. One day (soon? I hope/believe) He’ll click them back on line. How about an application of the old Sunday School chorus:
God is still on the phone, and He will remember His Own
Though trials may press them and burdens distress them
He never will leave them alone.
God is still on the phone, and He will remember His Own
His promise is true, Israel soon will come through!
God is still on the phone!
Debbie, Aurora, CO I facilitate a women’s Bible study group at Eastern Hills Community Church. We began Beth Moore’s Daniel on Monday, January 13th. We have 24 ladies in our group and are LOVING this study!
Gunter, Texas
I am facilitating a group of ladies doing Priscilla Shirer’s Gideon.
Group of 6 ladies in Baton Rouge doing Daniel. We are loving it.
Doing an eighth year of reading the bible on a one year plan. Read OT, NT, Psalm and Proverb daily. Really allows you to see the thread running through the bible.
Leading about 60 women at Wayside Chapel in San Antonio studying Gideon by Priscilla Shirer. Love it and Priscilla! Our group has done all but a couple of Beth’s studies. We look forward to Children of the Day.
Kay – Boerne, TX: I am leading a neighborhood ladies’ group using Ann Voskamp’s 1000 Gifts; 26 ladies from various churches/denominations.

Karen, Chandler, AZ
Reading through the Bible with my 3 boys for home school, I’m doing Part 3 of Romans with Precept Ministries, Wayne Barber teaching and also listening to Beth’s teaching on Romans on Oneplace.com once a week, loving it all. Absolutely love the book of Romans and even after being a Christian 26 years, think I just now finally get NO Condemnation! It’s given me the strength to take a stand on a personal issue that needed a stand taken.
Rebekah, Fort Worth, TX. Co-leading a group in my sorority house on Philippians: Fellowship in the Gospel from Grace Bible Church. Loved leading on Beth’s Fruit of the Spirit study last semester!!
Hey LPL Ladies- I am teaching through Galatians and Ephesians this semester on Thursday nights at our downtown location. The Lord has brought some precious new Christians to our group, so it challenges us all to dig deeper. I love the childlike faith we all are called to exercise–whether we are young in the faith or old.
Doing “Knowing a God by Name” by Mary Kassian alone
Also, after 4 semesters of Greek, I’m in my second semester of Hebrew at DTS.
Next week I am attending a new church to participate in their women’s group, so that I can do Beth’s study: Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit. Looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone to experience His Spirit. Bobbie Warren, Camas, WA
I am from Flagstaff, AZ and currently living in Kwidzyn Poland( a small town near Gdansk.) I am studying with my husband and daughter a Good Morning Girls Study about living a Purposeful life. Soon, I will lead our local church’s ladies and daughters study in the book of Esther. I need lots of prayer as I am planning on writing a study guide myself for this study. My prayer is that these women will take the initiative to study God’s Word each day on their own and then meet bi-weekly to learn and discuss. This will take the Holy Spirit’s leading and help in so many ways. I’m praising Him for the opportunity (and help with translation at our meeting times together from one of the dear women here).
Wilsonville, Oregon: Large Community Bible Study reading through & studying Ephesians; small group doing 7 by Jen Hatmaker (just started month 4); and next weekend facilitating the IF: Gathering simulcast for a group of ladies in our area. Can’t get enough!!! Love me some Jesus!!!
I am currently doing “40 days in the word” by Rick Warren with my husband. Have already purchased “living beyond yourself” by Beth for when I finish
We meet on a Tuesday evening and our group consists of 5: my friend and her husband, me and my husband and another single, male friend. We are working through Gideon by Priscilla Shirer but the men don’t have the books as we don’t think they’ll have time for homework. So ladies, prayers will be welcome as I am not too sure how its going to work. We all live in Cape Town in South Africa and meet in my friend’s home.
Blessings to you all!
I am doing Intentionally Focused by Good Morning Girls. Doing it solo, but sharing with friends.
Leading “Nehemiah” by Kelly Minter and fixing to launch “Unglued” by Lysa Terkeurst for spring and then summer will likely be “Gideon” by Priscilla Shirer.
At First Baptist Church in Union Springs, AL, about a dozen ladies are studying Beth’s “Daniel.” We’re in the 4th week. Our church does one Beth Moore study each year, and Donna Curington is our leader. This is my first Beth Moore study. I’m a Kay Arthur alumnus, and was afraid Beth’s studies wouldn’t be challenging enough. Boy, is my face ever red!! Beth, you’re the bomb!! (I think that’s a compliment. It’s meant to be.)
Our Bible Study group is about 12 strong. We just finished The Patriarchs before Christmas and we are now doing A Woman’s Heart, God’s Dwelling Place. We love you Beth 🙂

I’m facilitating Beth’s Daniel study this year with a group of English-speaking friends (mostly fellow expats or foreigners). We finally got the DVD’s brought over from the States and we’ll be buying the books from an English language bookstore in Seoul. It’s a process but we are sure it will be fruitful and WORTH IT! A friend or two might even Skype in from the States during our study 😉
I downloaded the free Kindle copy of Praying God’s Word day-by-day and I’m SUPER excited to work through that this year!! I’m also planning to start the Bible in 90 days during Lent. I’m really looking forward to that challenge :):) I love what God’s word does in every area of my life. Moving and shaking!!
Wow! God bless you! All the Word to all the world! Go, sister, go!
I have two that I am currently working on! With 2 other friends we are working on Wonderstruck by Margaret Feinbery, and in 2 weeks will be hosting Authentic by James MacDonald. Can you tell I am a fan of Lifeway’s Bible study Insider:) Can’t wait for Beth’s next study.

(I friend asked, “Are you getting a good group?” I said, “Who ever God wants is my group.” She said, “I mean numbers, do you have a lot?” I chuckled and said, “Let’s be clear a good number for me would be zero, so I’ll stick with who ever God sends is a good number”).
