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!
A Woman’s Heart: God’s dwelling place by Beth Moore and Nehemiah by Kelly Minter. Very a excited about them both.
Oops!! That’s in Phoenix, AZ.
Mary in Harrisburg, PA I am attending a group study on David: Seeking A Heart Like His by Beth Moore. Also doing Fundamentals of the Faith by James MacDonald on Wednesday evenings at my church. I have also committed to read the Bible through this year. All of my friends and I love Beth and the studies that God puts on her heart to teach us…we will be praying for her.
On the second and fourth Tuesday starting this past Tuesday we started at Our Saviours Way Lutheran Church in Ashburn Virginia Beth study on Sacred Secrets. This is our Fourth Beth Study. Our group currently has 22 ladies.
On my own I am reading one of Beth books I got free in January The Beloved Diciple
Thanks
I am doing a study with two young women by Cynthia Heald, Becoming a woman of freedom. In March will start Angela Thomas’s Stronger with a larger group of ladies at Church.
I received Beth’s “Whispers of Hope” as a Christmas gift, and am also doing Kelly Minter’s Nehemiah study on my own. I consider it a blessing to be able to pray for Beth and this ministry. You all have changed my life!
I’m currently doing Made to Crave by Lisa Terkeurst with 43,000+ of my closest friends online :). I’m also reading the Bible through this year. SO EXCITED!!! I LOVE the Word. And memorizing scripture with a new friend. So fun!!
Blessings ~~ dawn
Hello from Chadron, Nebraska!
I’ve got two great things going on this year already.
First, I’m working my way through the Bible this year with the Daily Audio Bible
led by Brian Hardin. Y’all should check it out!
Second, our women’s bible study group just started the “One Thousand Gifts”
study by Ann Voskamp.
Feeling truly blessed for sure!
I just finished reading “Believing God” by Beth (awesome!). Next up is “”Epic Grace” by Kurt Bubna.
Continue to use “Praying God’s Word” by Beth quite often (thank you for this book)….currently reading through the New Testament….and just joined a women’s group through (in)courage
Sermon on the mount. It is through Discoveries bible study. I love digging into the word with my coffee break ladies. I have taken on the task this year to memorize it, too. With God’s help, Sisters!
I just finished attending a study of Beth’s Sacred Secrets. My sweet ones- secrets do manifest. I agree with the statement, “sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.” Learning that God confides in those who revere Him. I am trying to spend more time in my secret place with Him. Thank you Beth for speaking the Words of God to us through this study. Another lady & I will be leading Kelly Minter’s study of Nehemiah starting next week. Excited to see Nehemiah’s leadership, prayer life, and overcoming discouragement as he directed to rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem. And how we should have a heart that can break.
God bless all of you at LP.
Doing Kay Arthur “Lord I Want T Know You” on my own and on Feb 12 I will be hosted a group to do Beth’s The Inheritance. Coming to you from Oklahoma City!
In Princess Anne, MD, I am leading a small group of ladies through the book of John by Max Lucdo. We are a diverse group. Gramdmas, early 20 somethings, new mommies and one almost new. I love the way we can all learn together and the insight we all bring!
Laura Proctor, Madison, MS
I am attending Seeking A Heart Like His at my church on Thursday mornings. Sunday morning my husband and I are attending a topical bible study.
I am doing a home Bible study with some ladies . We are doing Always True by James Macdonald.
I’m facilitating a Bible Study on Jonah by Priscilla Shirer in my home (for the first time) in London, Ontario, Canada. There are 8 ladies who have been coming out. I love to see how God is using this study to reach each of us where we are at. God is good!
Connie, Greene IA
Just got home from our final week with Beth’s James study and next week our group will begin Priscilla Shirer’s “He Speaks to Me”.
Otterville, IL. Cindy here, currently leading an adult group through Authenic By: James McDonald. On my own, I’m doing Whisper of Hope Devotionals, and reading the Bible in a year, chronological.
II will be praying for Beth as she prepares to bring forth the Word, can’t wait to what she has for us at Women of Faith next month!
Royana Thomas, Arlington, Texas. I am leading a large group beginning next Thursday evening 2/6 through “Sacred Secrets” followed by “Believing God”.
I am reading through the Chronological Bible this year. It’s very interesting sort of hopping around.
I am so hungry to lead or participate in a good Bible study right now. Doors aren’t opening; but I’m still knocking. In the interim, I’m reading the Bible through again this year =)
Tammy, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
I’m excited to be doing a study on Ruth my writing friend in California wrote that is going on Amazon within the week! I’m honored to go through it as a leader for a “run through” time of study. It’s deep!!’ Love what I’m doing so far!!
Debbie – Auckland, New Zealand
I am currently half way through Beth’s devotional Jesus 90 days with the one and only, and I am loving it. I have also just purchased ‘breaking free’ and am considering whether to do it with my cell group or to do it on my own. Watch the intro DVD this afternoon and loving it.
🙂
I’m in Pt Pleasant, WV
My small group and I (just 5 of us) just started the book, “not a fan” Tuesday evening.
I’m currently reading (again) Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. I need to read those inspiring words again and be reminded how awesomely made we are in God’s image 🙂 Thanks!!
Mary from Warwick RI…I am currently studying through Kelley Latta’s “Tested by Fire”. I have also begun to read my Bible again, this time with so much more in my heart, soul and mind as I read God’s Word. Not sure that it will be a year or more…no set time frame…just going to read and pray as I go along!
I’m studying online with the Precept community going through Choosing Victory, Overcoming Defeat (Joshua, Judges, Ruth) by Kay Arthur. We meet on Monday evenings. I’m also reading Believing God which has helped a lot in the study of Joshua.
Denise in Dumas, Tx. Reading the bible through this year, personally but praying which bible study The Lord would have me lead our group of 50 ladies, in the spring..
Also, can’t wait to hear Beth tomorrow night at LIFE Today taping! Beyond excited about this opportunity.
And I’m in Van Buren, AR
Dawn, Beavercreek, OH
I am co-leading a delightful group of ladies through Beth’s study of Deuteronomy on Tuesday evenings. Very excited, but so far we’ve only been able to meet once … the last 2 weeks have been postponed because of snow, so we feel your pain!
Each month this year I’m planning to read through Psalms and Proverbs using David Jeremiah’s excellent resource, The Focused Life. So far it’s been both encouraging and convicting.
Blessings and prayers to you all – we love LPM and are so very grateful for your ministry in our lives!

I’m attending a home group study (of 54 ladies and we always manage to fit) of Beth’s Jesus The One And Only; and I am leading a women’s division of a local rescue mission in Beth’s Esther study. This is “good” kind of busy.
I’m in the second week of Kelly Minter’s “Ruth” Bible study and I’m doing it with a group of lovely ladies. It’s AWESOME!!!
At church, my Sunday school class is doing Wonder Struck by Margaret Feinberg. At work I also lead a women’s bible study group and we are presently doing Sacred Secrets. I love both!!
1–I am leading a discussion/reading of Dr. David
Reagan’s LIVING FOR CHRIST IN THE END TIMES. We meet
Wednesday’s after school. We are a multi-
denominational group of teachers and parents of
children all from the same school.
2–I am attending a study of BELOVED DISCIPLE by Beth
Moore at a local church on Thursday evenings.
3–I am attending the BREATH: THE LIFE OF GOD IN US by
Beth Moore on Tuesday evenings.
I am doing Here and Now, There and Then with a group from my church on Thursdays.
I am doing Believing God with just me and a friend on Wednesdays.
For a side note I am starting Whispers of Hope in the morning. This of course is by myself.
short and sweet posts are sometimes my fave. =)
praying for sweet beth, and all of you during this busy time!! y’all are such a huge blessing to me.
soo to answer your question, i live in derby, kansas, and the Bible study my sister and i attend is *finally* starting up again monday, february 3!!!! i’ve seriously been counting down the days because i miss it so. much.
this semester our group is going through beth’s “Jesus, one and only” study and i’m so excited!
also, my church (the aforementioned study is actually held at the church my family *used* to go to, haha:)) started its own Bible study on wednesday, january 8, and we’re studying the life of joseph right now. again, it’s just so. good.
annnnnd (not trying to sound extra-spiritual or anything here, God has just been blessing me abundantly with extra time and opportunities to get to know Him and His Word better, and i’m SO thankful for each one!) a sweet, out-of-state friend and i are starting a one-on-one Bible study together; we’ve been studying the book of james and when we finish that, we’re going to study one of my favorite books, “victory over the darkness,” by neil t. anderson. when i went through this book last year with a couple of friends it really helped to change my heart and my outlook on life in so many ways, and i think it will really help my friend now, who is young in the faith, to get off to a wonderful start!
^^^^if y’all think of it, please pray for me as i am mentoring and guiding her into a deeper relationship with Christ!! i’m so excited about this, but i’m completely new at this mentoring thing – so far i’ve always been the one being taught/mentored – and i need all the prayer and help i can get! 🙂
I forgot my city. It is Rogersville, TN
We are doing the bible study on Jonah by Priscilla Shirer,at our church (Lakewood United Methodist).
It is really wonderful and “eye” opener how being disobedient to God leads to so many troubles!!!!
On Thursday evenings 25 women are meeting to study “David’ Seeking a heart Like His” by Beth Moore. Tonight was our second week and several of us said, “I can’t get enough!” We love it and are praying that we would be women with a tenderness and strength this next week. I am so thankful that I followed God’s nudge to offer this study. Thank you, thank you!
Personally, I am going thru Rick Renner’s, Sparkling Gems. For the 3rd yr in a row. He takes one scripture from the New Testament a day and breaks it down in the Greek! Totally incredible!!! I’ve learned sooo much!
In our church setting, we are about to start, Made To Crave! Can’t wait! 🙂
Susan, Corinth, Tx
We have a group of 6 ladies in a home group and are doing “The Patriarchs”. This is the first study I did when I started with Beth about 8 years ago. We have one more lesson left and then we hope to start “James”. Thanks Beth for all the hard work you do for us and to glorify our Father.
I am part of the ABQ Siestas and we are working through A Woman’s Heart. Imagine my surprise when we started watching the video for week 5 and Beth starts talking about her grandson that was just born! My grandson had been born that week as well! I felt quite a kinship for that week’s lesson (more so than usual! LOL).
I have been working on reading through the entire Bible from the beginning (with cross references whenever led) for over two years now, but with no timeframe for completion. I have tried numerous times before but never made it through Leviticus or Numbers, and without the time pressure, I have enjoyed making lots of margin notes, underlining, looking up in my interlinear Bibles (original Hebrew/Greek) and multiple translations for things I do not understand. I am now in 2 Samuel and have thoroughly enjoyed what I have been getting from God each time I can sit and study, whether for just a few moments or an hour. I have a 4th grader and a Kindergardener (ok and a husband 🙂 and share with them all sorts of things that I come across that I am reminded of, as well as fresh understanding that strikes me in a totally new and different angle. All the best!
Hugs, Sandy
Clatskanie, OR
Our small group of five ladies are doing “Jesus the One and Only”. We live in Grants Pass, OR. We purchased the whole kit with the DVDs and we take one full year to do each study. We take turns having the study at each others home and always begin with lunch and sharing. We are almost finished with Week one which took us four week. We meet once a week and it’s a blessed time! We did the study of David last year and it was wonderful. We are overwhelmed already with Beth’s Jesus study.
My sister in law and I went to Eugene, OR and saw Beth in person. Oh My! I hope she comes back to Oregon!!! Blessings
Going solo, doing ‘Sacred Secrets’ by Beth
Doing 3: “Hebrews” by N.T. Wright with large women’s group led by our Pasyor, “Having a Mary Spirit” by Joanna Weaver in a small women’s growth group from church, personally doing Ann Voscamp *the Jesus Project” scripture memorization from the book of John.
From Redmond, WA
We have a small group of 4 ladies that meet every Monday morning for Bible Study to start our week off ! We are studying “Daniel” – we are almost finished and ready to start another! Wow! Awesome! We studied “James” before this one! Thank You!
I am leading a group of women at my church on Wed. mornings as we do Beth’s “To Live is Christ” study on the life of Paul. We take the whole school year to do Beth’s studies, as there is so much there! This is my 12th study of Beth’s I have done and I have been blessed!
