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!
Hi,
I am finishing the study Jesus the One and Only and will be starting Sacred Secrets. I so love my Bible Study. So wish I was close to go on Tuesday nights with the Houston group doing Breath. God bless all.
Reading through the bible and teaching beautiful outlaw
a mixed (in various stages of walk w/the Lord and a couple still in the searching or “I don’t have a clue but I want to learn more, I think..” stages) group of ladies in my neighborhood meet weekly to have coffee, study the Bible (we are currently in Acts) and go out to lunch. At least one attendee has come to Christ this past year and another is very close.

I am in between studies. I finished Beth’s study on James in December. I believe this is my favorite thus far.
I ordered Jennie Allen’s “Restless” today and want to do Sacred Secrets.
I’m attending a group study led by my sister-in-law at her workplace. It’s called Planted, written by Annie Pajcic, and it’s a study of Psalm 1:1-3.
Beth’s Believing God with a group – we’re all wearing our blue bracelets!
“Stronger” by Angela Thomas (Uh, WOWWWW!!!! Highly recommend!! Attending with Ladies Bible group
& attending as well, “Radical” by David Platt in our small group in Burleson, Tx !! Whomp-whomp 🙂

Nehemiah by Kelly Minter with a group from church and Made to Crave by Lysa Terkeurst by myself.
Reading through the Bible, too, but I’m thinking that is going to be more of a 2 year thing! 🙂
Patti, Clemmons, NC
I am teaching 1 and 2 Peter (8-10) with one group and doing Gideon by P. Shirer with another group (13).
Last night, Wednesday, we started The Patriarchs by Beth , and on Thursday mornings we are doing Gideon by Priscilla Shirer. It will be a busy God filled winter, and two workbooks! Yikes!

Michelle, Waukesha, WI
In a Thursday morning group called BSL (Bible Study Ladies). We are studying the psalms, one by one. Our teacher is Margo Fiesler, a follower of Jesus and lover of His Word!!
We are studying the FREEDOM book – Galatians!
I’m in two group studies, I’m taking a BSF class on Matthew, and then a wonderful group of ladies and I have just started the Precept upon Precept course of Revelation part 4. We’ve been working on this study for 3 years, so we are really excited to see it through!
Also, in my quiet time I’m reading the Bible through this year. No fancy plan, just 3 chapters Monday-Saturday and 5 chapters on Sunday 🙂
I’m not trying to be an over-achiever. I’m going through a particularly hard season of life, and I need as much of the Word as possible to combat the chaos in my mind and heart. Praise God, He’s faithful.
I am in the middle of doing A Woman’s Heart by Beth. I am learning so much. It doesn’t matter how long you have been a Christian or how much you have studied the Word, there is always more to learn. Thanking God for his leading godly men & women to write Bible studies to help their brothers & sisters dig deeper. Thank them for obeying His leadership.
I am leading Dave Ramsey’s Legacy Journey on Thursday nights. I do BSF in Beaumont on Monday nights (this year the study of Matthew) and I just started Malachi on Wednesday nights. My plate is full but I love it all. I love you, Jesus!

Jennifer – Cleveland, Ohio
Facilitating “Breaking Free” by Beth. We have a group of 12 ladies meeting on Thursday evenings. Out church was just planted in late October, so we are thrilled to have such a nice sized group!
We are doing Angela Thomas – “Stronger”. Love it!
Minneapolis, MN I”m in our church’s large group study of Priscilla Shirer’s Gideon. Lovin’ every word!
Our small group, in Hartsville, SC, will begin Wendy Blight’s 13 week study “Living A Cross-Centered Life”, a study of Hebrews, next Thursday.
Three weeks into Sacred Secrets by Beth with large group at church. Facilitating a small discussion group. Our sins are forgiven, covered and not counted. Doesn’t get much better than that!
A big group at my church is doing a Discipler’s Study on Amos. In March three groups in my town will start Lisa Harper’s study on Hebrews. Can’t Wait!
I just started doing Jonah by Priscilla Shirer at a new church I just started attending. Last year my best friend and I memorized James and so this year would have been a miss without having something to memorize…I chose the book of Colossians!! I’m also reading through the bible for the first time this year and I’m starting this journaling thing! Lots to take on but God led me this path! I’m so excited!!
Matthew with Bible Study Fellowship
Sunday School class doing Daniel.
I am leading a ladies group on Saturdays starting next week. Our entire church is doing a series called Home Run Life. I am blessed by the opportunity God has given me to learn from such an array of amazing sisters in Christ. God is Good!
We are in Dacula, Georgia!
Michele from Cumming GA
Gideon by Priscilla Shirer
Women’s Bible Study at my church and I am leading a small group.
Camp Hill, PA (about 3 miles from our capital Harrisburg).
I am in the middle of a series of hip surgeries (and temporarily out of work while I recover) so the Lord has blessed me with LOTS of time to dive into his word and studies. Praise him for that. I am starting Beth Moore’s “Sacred Secrets” at a new church in a few weeks. I don’t know anyone in the study. But I know the Lord will be with me, and Beth’s familiar face will be on the screen so what do I have to fear?!
On my own I am reading about the people who had to do a lot of waiting on the Lord (a theme in my life right now). Right now I am in Isaiah. Up Next Jeremiah.
I also have Angie Smith’s book “Chasing God” – waiting to be opened!
Phew. that should keep me busy!
I’m reading through the Bible in a year. Right now I’m in Exodus. I teach youth Sunday School and we’re studying Joshua. I’m really wanting to get back into a deeper study. Not aware of any going on near me right now though. I’ll do some reading and studying on my own til one comes up 🙂
Nicole, St. Pete, Florida- I’m just finishing up Passion Pursuit with two friends. Authors are Dr. Juli Slattery and Linda Dillow. We highly recommend for married women.
Our Pastor is doing a complete study of Hebrews. I am struggling because his theological grid is different from our Church’s for the last 30 yrs. We are doing a Precepts study of John which will take more than a year. I enjoy listening to Beth’s Studies online and miss the home studies we use to have. Pastor decided to end the Church sponsored studies because men were attending her classes. :~( but we are free to listen/study on our own. Loved Beth’s “A Heart Like His”, “A Woman’s Heart…”, and currently listening to her study through Romans.
I am using my Holman Christian Study Bible and doing a year long Thematic study with “Bible Study Tools.com”. I am on day 337 and plan on starting an in depth study of each book of the Bible when I finish next month.
I love you guys and this blog. You all have so richly blessed me.
leading Stronger by Angela Thomas
Reading through the bible in a year with my church!
Tammy in Nebraska and we are just began Beth’s study on The Beloved Disciple of John and my group and I are excited and I am reading through the chronological bible and so far have kept up. Keeping Mama Beth in prayer.
I’m leading a group of 6-8 women through Priscilla Shirer’s He Speaks to Me/Discerning His Voice in a Monday evening study in my home. I am also a co-leader for Beth’s Daniel study with about 40 women on Wednesday morning at church.
oops….this is happening in Woodbury, MN! 🙂
I’m in a group in San Angelo, Texas doing Kay Arthur’s “Lord, is it warfare? Teach me to stand” bible study!
Hi Rennae from Vancouver, BC.
I am continuing the boom of Matthew with BSF. Love it and have learnt so much about Gods love and mercy for us! Happy studying to all you ladies out there!! ☺️
Rachelle, Cedar Park TX: doing Beth’s Sacred Secrets with a group of women at Bethany United Methodist church. It’s such a blessing to be surrounded by such sweet sisters!
Using Ray Van der Laan’s, “With All My Heart” DVD
For devotional at Thursday Crochet group. Loved
Beth’s James study but the Ester study is favorite!!!
Love y’all !
I am leading the study by Mary Jo Sharp “Why Do You Believe That? A Faith Conversation. We meet on Tuesday evenings. Actually the Tuesday morning Bible study group is doing the same one…God planned that we had nothing to do with it.
Learning as I study under Beth Moore through the book of Daniel!! Also, personally reading through the Bible in a year.
Katie – Karuizawa, Japan
I’ve started True Woman 101 by Mary A. Kassian and Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Doing it with my daughter long-distance. She works out of Los Angeles as a flight attendant and has the book too. Occasionally we get to meet up in Tokyo!
Well, currently I am going solo trying out the ESV One Year Bible. It is a little discouraging as I am already behind and it is only January :(. Also, our church is memorizing Ephesians. Since we homeschool, I am teaching it to our 4 youngest children to help me learn it :). During the summer, I have a sweet friend that usually does a Siesta Summer Study with me. I just need to get back into my quiet times again consistently. I miss it!

We are going to start studying “Stuck” by Jennie Allen in February with our Women’s Ministry. Looking forward to it!

Leading group of 10 women doing Gideon by Prirscilla Shirer. Monday was our first meeting. Loving what God is doing already!
Tracey Knight ~ Arkadelphia AR
-started today leading a group of college girls through a book study, What Women Fear, by Angie Smith. LOVE her.
-starting next week teaching a small group of women on Ouachita’s campus. we’re looking at faithful women in Scripture – pulling from several sources & approaching it from Beth’s statement at the LPL-Bossier when she said “you will act like who you think you are” & discussing the lies of Satan these women likely had to overcome to follow faithfully. it’s still gelling in my head but it will come together. 🙂
with love from arkansas!
Paula, Brownwood, Tx
I am working on Lessons Learned in the Dark by Jennifer Rothschild on my own. I also joined the online community of Good Morning Girls with their Intentionally Focused Bible study.
Lora, from Jasper, FL
A wonderful group of around 20 women began the study Sacred Secrets last Monday night. I am a group leader and had a great response from the ladies the first night. They have come to really grow and draw closer to our Lord through this study. I can already tell He is going to do GREAT things in our lives as we explore those secrets that keep us from truly being free in Him! He is so good to always meet us where we are in our journey!
Starting my 3rd year leading an online women’s bible study, SHINE Girls, through the whole bible! Yay!
We’ve almost completed the entire bible! Of course, we won’t stop there, we will continue to cycle through it as long as God gives me the grace to keep leading and writing.
I’m praying for all of you precious ladies! I just love to see God’s army in action!
May God bless all of your bible studies as He continues to draw us closer to Himself.
Love,
Jill Hill
