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!
I am currently doing James, by Beth! I am SOOOO excited because James is my very favorite book of the Bible.
Women’s large group study at church…Beth Moore’s Here & Now, There and Then. Leading a table group. Wonderful. Just 3 weeks in.
Jacci, Denver
I’m doing Living Beyond Yourself with three other ladies.
I will be teaching a Lenten Bible Study on the book of Joshua from Mar 8-Apr 12 (on Saturdays) from 0900-1030 AM in John Wesley United Methodist Church, Norcross, GA 30093. It is titled “Breaking Strongholds – Living in Victory”. Please pray for me and all who will be attending.
This sounds interesting for a Lenten study. Who is the author?
Billie,
This is a Bible Study written by me by the grace of God. If you are in the vicinty and would like to join us please let me know. Glad to have you.

Beth, Wynnewood, OK
1) I will be facilitating Sacred Secrets by Beth Moore on Tuesdays starting March 4th. Never led a Bible Study before, so prayers would be appreciated!
2) Our Sunday Night Bible Study is the book of Romans.
3) Our entire church is involved in “Beginning Steps” on Sunday mornings. Our pastor is walking us through our own growth in Christ, and once completed, we will begin “Engage Wynnewood”, going out door to door confident in leading others to Christ. Lots of things happening in this little town and we are believing God for a harvest!
Beth, I am praying for you as you prepare to lead your first Bible Study! Lean on the Lord, he will guide you and give you strength!
I will be in the same study, but in PA!
Thank you so much for the prayer support Corrine. I told my husband as long as my “motive” is pure, I believe God will bless it. Thanks so much!
Vancouver, BC Canada
Reading thru the bible with family. We are reading Jesus Storybook Bible with the kids We read with them during supper. We have a map on the dining room wall and our praying for different countries each week using Operation World.
Church is doing the By Name Initiative all the month of January-praying for people we know who don’t know God. Very Exciting.
Women’s Bible Study Group-doing the Book of James by Beth
LOVE what you are doing with your children! Blessings to you!
I am in Lake Mary, Fl. I am doing Priscilla Shirer’s Bible study on GIDEON. We are doing it in a ladies Bible Study at Northland a Church distributed in Longwood Fl. We have a large group of women doing the study on Monday mornings and Tuesday evenings.We have done a lot of Beth Moore studies over the years.
Carmen, Summersville, WV
I am co-leading Beth’s “Stepping Up” at our church. We have around 30 women in our group! We are so excited!
Amelia Courthouse, VA
I am currently doing A Women’s Heart by Beth, Stronger By Angela Thomas, and True Woman 101 by Mary Kaisson and Nancy Leigh DeMoss… All on my own for now, needed some time alone with Him, All three of these studies seem to be meshing together, God is great and knows just how He made us and how we each learn and provides for us just the way we can understand…I am excited for the changes He is making in me and for the growing that is yet to come…God Bless each of you in your time with Him and study of His Word…May each of you be changed by what you learn from Him as you do.
Marie from Post Falls, Idaho –
I just started to work my way through the second half of the Gospel of Luke using Warren Wiersbe’s “Be Courageous” commentary. Good stuff!
On Wednesday nights with the kids group, we’re looking at different zoo animals and how they teach us to walk like Christ. Each animal is connected to a Scripture passage. Surprisingly deep!
Judy Woodward from Lake Charles, LA
We have a group of 5 ladies doing “Sacred Secrets”
at my house. We will start on Monday night. Looking
forward to watching video and discussing what God is
teaching us individually.
Jill E., Export PA.
Our church is reading The Story together. We have small groups meeting and our Pastor preaches on the chapter we have all read each week. It has been a great blessing and I am looking forward to the rest of it – through May.
Linda Williams, Tomball, TX, I am doing the Nehemiah study by Kelly Minter on my own.
Kathy – Fort Smith,AR
Currently in third week of “Beloved Disciple” and loving it! Night class with around 26 ladies attending. I always love how no matter what study we are doing there will be comments “this is my favorite study ever”. Only God knows what we need at each season of our lives.
Jeanette dahm Tualatin,OR. Wonder struck by Margaret feinberg.
Emily McAnear, Corona, California
I’m reading through the Bible chronologically with my whole church family. Every message, Sunday school class and life group is discussing weekly. Love it!
Love you Lindsee! It was so neat meeting you in person at the Siesta Memory Team event a couple weeks ago!
Hannah from Winter Haven, FL
I am doing Priscilla Shirer’s Gideon (which I’m so stoked about since I missed out on it this summer when y’all did it on the blog!) with about 20 other women from my church. Love, love, loving it! Just about to dive into week 4 of the homework. God is really challenging me with this one. I like to do everything by my big-girl self, and don’t you know, that is not how our God operates. My weakness, His strength. It’s a hard one to learn.
The Bible in 90 Days by Ted Cooper Jr. with Stephen and Amanda Sorensen
This is my THIRD try. I pray I can complete it this time!
Hang in there! I’ve done it 3 times and each time I get something new. I got up 30 minutes earlier in the mornings, made coffee, set the timer on my oven and read 30 minutes each day—if I didn’t quite finish, I’d read the rest in the evenings after I got home from work. If I did it today, I have YouVersion.com on my iPhone so I could read during lunch. It is so amazing when you get to the end! Do it! I’m praying for you this time!
Paula Williamson in Houston
Thank you Paula.
Lori
Praying for you!!! You can do it!!
Pasadena, TX
I am doing Believing God by Beth. I lead one of the small groups at my church. This is one of my favorite Bible studies because it tells us how to apply what we are learning.
Lynne Henkel, Charleston, SC. We are doing Lisa Harper’s Hebrews, The Nearness of King Jesus. I am loving and praying over Ms. Lisa…as well for Ms. Beth, her family, and all of you at LPM. Lynne
JoAnn – Houston, TX
I am attending the Houston Bible Study, “Breath” by Beth and the 1st week was great. I am also so excited that Beth’s daughter, Melissa, is sharing her deep insights to our study. I just love how your mind writes; “You Go Girl”. You have been missed on this blog. Also, working on “A Woman of Wisdom” Proverbs by Dee Brestin. Really enjoying it. Building all you ladies up in prayer. Such Glory is His through all our studies. Blessings!
I am leading a Ladies’ Community Bible Study using Priscilla Shirer’s GIDEON study. We meet on Wednesday afternoon and another group Wednesday evening.
That in is in Shattuck, OK.
Barbara Clarence, NY
Philippians by Max Lucado. I’m leading a group of nine other women in one’s home. The children come too – so I have to come up with a Bible study for the kids which the two oldest ones lead while we have our study. I have to script everything out which takes a lot of time to put together. It’s so awesome to have happening though!!!!!
Leading a small group of 14 ladies ….doing Stepping Up and loving it!

Reading PA
Doing Breaking Free, leading large group. Amazingly, in the mix we have a couple who did the older version and also a couple who did the newer version but are repeating it. They are all “into it” and we are believing for big things in the lives of many.
Recently finished up the Wising Up DVD study by Beth Moore. It was AMAZING!! It left me encouraged, empowered, and ready to take on tough situations with confidence in God’s promises. I pray for wisdom in all things daily. Thankful for Beth’s ability to make God’s word so clear!!!
We have 3 Bible study groups a part of our church in Salt Lake City: Thursday mornings – Priscilla Shirer’s “Gideon”. Thursday evenings – Beth’s “Jesus the One and Only”. And Saturday mornings at a coffee shop they study – “Victoriously Frazzled – The Frazzled Female’s Guide to Restoring Her Sanity” by Cindi Wood.
I am involved in church bible study. We just finished Beth’s Esther today and week after next we are doing the fruit of the spirit study Beth did with Pricilla and Kay. I am ever so grateful for Beth’s sweet heart and the word she diligently prepares and sends out. I love sharing and talking with women about The Lord. It is a great blessing. Thank you ladies of LPM and sweet siesta Mama, Beth!

Wednesday morning, studying the people of faith in Hebrews 11 with 3 other women devoted enough to show up at 6:30am each week.
2 Thursday nights a month with a mixed group of 16 people (my husband is in that one with me). We are following a sermon series at our church on James, questions, discussion.
In a group of about 25 people with my husband and oldest son. Working our way through 1 Peter, 1 chapter at a time.
P.S. Can’t wait to hear what the summer Siesta study will be this year. I did it solo before but this time expect to be part of a group of 15-20 women!
Pottsville First Baptist Church (Arkansas) will begin a bible study on February 6th by one of our own Sunday School teachers, Becky Smith! It was recently published and is called Genesis, A Nine Week Study. We are, to say the least, so very proud of her and happy for her accomplishment! She loves God and His Word beyond measure and is a wonderful mom, wife and friend. I just love her to death! If you would like to dive into genesis please check out her bible study on amazon.com. Love to all my siestas! Dawn
Nehemiah by Kelly Minter- I’m going it alone.
I am doing Beth’s Believing God and I’m doing it solo…and yes I am wearing my blue ribbon around my wrist :).
God is who He says He is.
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ.
God’s word is alive and active in me.
I’M BELIEVING GOD!

Been extravagantly blessed to attend Beth Moore’s Bible studies and honorably privileged to serve on her prayer team–God’s merciful grace. (Never have I known anyone who works as hard as she does.) Blessed to attend Women of Faith a couple of times. Here in the past, have done four studies on my own; Jesus and me took on Priscilla Shirer, Kelly Mentor, Jack Graham, Shiela Walsh, and Duck Dynasty. As I had previously attended a few Bible studies alone, I looked forward to what Jesus was doing through those we chose for a home-study. Admit, HE is faithfully sovereign, with an oddly sence of God-humor. He was passionately consuming. However, because I mortal, I grew weary of doing Bible studies alone (humbly, graciously have mercy on me Jesus, no offense intended: You Know You are all to me), and have stopped going to them. I take in the new mercies HE brings me daily and we commune over HIS all-compassionate and gracious blessings of The God-Breathed Words He brings (some being of the wildest ride). I thank GOD for all of you who are blessed to attend Bible studies. And those of you who have friends to fellowship together in worship of His Word are wonderfully blessed and to be commended in your efforts of what you have been called to be obedient unto: May Our LORD BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF. Those that find yourself in Christ alone, will not be shorted in the least, but prayerfully, in Jesus Name, swallowed up in the clarity of the magnitude of HIS Full Presence. The joy of the LORD is our strength. But here on this blog this evening, can’t help but presume, “The JOY” is HIS. Can’t help but think, each time HE breathes you, there’s a breath of joy; each one, moving HIM to breathe more… Of HIM in you.
All gracious GOD, bless Mrs. Beth. As she prepares, assure her YOU are ready. Be her strength and health; grace her to be a full blessing of acclaiming exaltation to Your Name and Kingdom cause. Jesus, bless each one of these, and may the riches of Your Glory restore them to bring honor and exalting praise to Your Name. If there be one lost soul, find them Jesus, and catch them.
God bless all of you. Am all grateful to God for all HE is doing in your lives! And with al humility, may I say, “I am proud of all of you.” Go with GOD!
My group is doing A Praying Life by Paul Miller. We were supposed to start this week but had to postpone due the weather. Snow in the South! I just finished Whispers of Hope and plan to use the PRAISE format for our prayer time to end our meetings. Interestingly, our church started the year with a 30 day prayer challenge so it looks like this will be the year of prayer! Very exciting!
oops…forgot to tell where I’m from…Pinehurst NC…group has been meeting in my home for 1.5 years…we just added 3 new ladies and I’m excited to watch lives transformed.
