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 are studying, “The Battle Belongs to The Lord” by Joyce Meyer with about 45 women.

Also doing Beth’s “Breaking Free” with a group of 8 as an evening study. Grants Pass, OR
Beth’s Study “Sacred Secrets” with ladies at church, Monday nights.
Our Women’s Ministry just started Sacred Secrets. Our church is memorizing a bible verse a week from The Joshua Code. I am listening to the Old Testament on Bible Is. I have already done the New Testament. Love hearing the Word. Also doing the Devotional, Made to Crave on You Version with a Weightloss group I am in. It is very good. So blessed. I recommend all of these to anyone that is looking for something new to do in 2014! God bless!
I am leading our Wednesday night ladies group in a DVD study – “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voscamp – we are learning how to be thankful and have joy in all situations, even the hard ones.

Four of us are doing The Inheritance on Thursday mornings. I also have committed to read through the Bible this year using The Daily Walk Bible. Blessings to you all.
We start Hebrews with Lisa Harper in a couple weeks 🙂
Currently doing Breaking Free, solo, for a second time. Did it the first time during a huge bout of pit-dwelling. So, far it’s my favorite (this time around). I also love Beth’s study on Esther.
I am finishing Jonah, Navigating a Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer. I will begin facilitating a group through this study next week. Pray for us. We will have about 10 ladies learning how to turn an interruption into a Divine intervention.
Looking for a new bible study….read all the remarks and have done their bible studies…any recommendations…
thanks
Patti, there are so many good studies out there.
Ruth by Kelly Mintor
Knowing God by Name by Kay Arthur
Jonah or Gideon by Priscilla Shirer.
I am assuming you have done all the Beth Moore studies, if not Believing God is a great one.
Lisa Harper has a new study on Hebrews that I have not done, but I plan to.
Check out Jennifer Rothchild’s Missing Pieces.
Lysa Terkeurst has some good studies also.
Hope you find something.
Blessings

I am leading “Believing God” by … well, you know. 🙂 We are spreading the 10 sessions out from January 14-April 22. It’s my second time to do this study and I am enjoying comparing my answers from 8 or 9 years ago. We are in Murfreesboro, TN.
Kara from Lubbock, TX
Our women’s bible study is doing “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere this semester. I’m one of the leaders for the Monday night group. We are very excited about this study, as offense is a prevalent and current issue with women today (well, everyone, not just women).
Mountain Home, Arkansas. My Bible study group and I are still in Romans (and may be for awhile – weather is not cooperating – we’ve made it to chapter 3, vs. 21-31). We are doing research together on Tuesday nights and trying to do a sort of mind-map of Paul’s letter. Challenging to say the least but we’ve put our big girl panties on and are plowing forward!
Moscow, Russia. I am leading Jesus, The One and Only, in a small group at our school.
just finished Gideon by Priscilla would love to do Beth/s Breathe sounds great may start The Story going thru the bible in one year will see I am waiting for the new May study sandy
I facilitate along with a friend of mine a study called Surrendering the Secret. The author is Pat Layton. Lifeway. It’s a 8 week DVD Bible study on healing the heartbreak of abortion in women’s lives. We do 2 groups a yr. One in the spring and one in the fall. Getting ready to start again March 11th 2014. Our church is located in Bath, Ohio. Grace Church. I heal a little more myself each time I lead this class!
Cindy, I’m a Surrendered Sister too. I’ll be praying for your group!
Thanks for sharing this! Wow is this needed for the 54 million or so women like us! GOD FORGIVES and we can live with a clear conscious not bc we were not guilty but bc He took our punishment and cancelled our debt and has forgiven us! Moses, David and Paul were forgiven too. MERCY TRIUMPHS! CHRIST’s BLOOD is on the mercy seat in Heaven and HIS resurrection power rescued us from the death we deserve as sinners…all of us not just post abortion women! JESUS HEALS with MERCY!
Just finished “Believing God” for the third time, experimenting with a Wed night group. It truly sounds different every time I do it! Going to offer a one day study of Café Chocolat on a Saturday before Valentine’s Day. The main group I study with is starting the Sunday evening after that with Inductive Bible study with Kay Arthur. We have planned “Jesus the One and Only” after Kay Arthur.
Finishing Priscilla Shirer’s “One In A Million” and preparing to start Beth’s “Sacred Secrets” with my faithful Bible study group.
Good morning! I am currently studying “Jesus the One and Only” by Beth Moore and teaching the lessons to the Ladies Sunday School class at my church. I have returned to college to obtain a degree in Education so that I can teach school. I struggle terribly with Algebra, Geometry, Trig and Calculus…(I cannot simply say I’m bad at math–because any math that involves the alphabet is definitely not math.) Anyway; I’m taking a math course called “Math for Teachers II”. It is impossibly hard! I was literally in tears on Tuesday over my lack of understanding. I was ready to give up–not just on the math course but on going back to college all together. I talked myself in to dropping my classes, going back to my previous job and taking the easy road. I cried out to the Lord to show me His will.
Today the lesson in JESUS was from the latter part of Luke 4. Jesus could have easily stayed right where He was and healed the people and ministered to a small group, but He kept his mind on the goal–the Good News was/is for ALL, not just the easy-to-reach few.
I rejoiced reading those words! It would be easy for me to continue my photography business, comfortable even…but there will be an infinite about of ministry opportunities
when I begin teaching at a school! Jesus’ example showed me what He wants from me. He did not quit, nor can I. CAN YOU HEAR MY JOY?!
The Study of God’s Word is where I find my lifeline, my encouragement, my hope. This is my 6th Beth Moore study, and I pray she is inspired by the Holy Spirit to produce enough studies for me to do until I see Jesus! xoxoxo
Funny you should ask…in my Thursday Night Ladies small group last night a few of us decided to do Daniel (Beth Moore) together. I’m just finishing up (today) Revelation (Beth Moore)which I have been doing solo.
Those two studies go so very well together, as do the two books of the Bible. Did them a few years ago. Loved them both!!
My mom gave me “Whispers of Hope” for Christmas and I began working in it on January 1st. I can’t believe how many days the devotions have been EXACTLY what I needed!!! One day literally brought me to tears and I had to just sit there and regroup. I’m in the process of trying to figure out what bible study I want to start next. So many great one’s out there!!!
“Jesus The One and Only” with my Wednesday night bible study group. Perfect timing for me, of course! 😉
I am facilitating the morning session of our Women’s Bible Study at St. Luke in Gahanna, Ohio. We are getting deep into Believing God and what a blessing! I had done it 8 years ago and it is THE study of my life. The one that really GOT me. I am so happy to be doing it again. I need to be believing God right now for a miracle. So cool to be doing it with first timers including my daughter. It is awesome to see God work in them as they BELIEVE God for the miracle in their own lives.
Shoot! I forgot to add that I’m from Fordyce, Arkansas 🙂
I’m in a group of 6 ladies doing “A Woman’s Heart” So blessed to dig into God’s word and see what He has for us.
Well, I have two separate things going on at the moment; both through my church. Via our TRBC App, we have a MyTime devotional link which provides a scripture reading for the day accompanied by one brief application/question page. If completed daily, we’ll have read through the entire Old Testament by year’s end. The second thing is our Women’s Ministry Tuesday Bible study; we complete a different study each semester, and the author varies from semester to semester. It just so happens that we started Beth’s Sacred Secrets Bible study this very week. So excited to embark on a new study!! 🙂

Stacey, Clayton, NC
Had to cancel our first meeting due to our part of Snow 2014, but starting So Long Insecurity on Tuesday and leadning it!
On any given day you can find me from 9-10 a.m. on my treadmill doing some kind of a Beth Moore study. Have tried others but hers just do it for me. Hubby can’t figure out how I flip through the Bible at my pace without slipping off. Right now I am re-doing Breaking Free. Got some things I need to break free from.
Cher from Toledo, OH
We are going to begin the “Unglued” study by Lysa Terkeurst next Wed pm and after that 6-week study, we will begin Beth’s “Sacred Secrets”.
I’ve read through the Bible in a year many times over and this year, I’m taking a little more time and going through the Message translation, usually reading just before I go to sleep at night.
Monika, Stanley, NC – Currently leading “Breaking Free” – Updated Edition w/ a group of 12 ladies at our Pentecostal Holiness Church, during our Sunday School hour. Also I, along w/ my husband and 2 boys have committed to reading the Bible through in 1 year and are having family devotions every Thursday night to discuss what we have read that week:)
I am doing Jesus, the One and Only by myself and Elisabeth Eliott’s book on discipline with a friend! 🙂
My friends and I who live in Alpharetta, Georgia are doing Nancy McGuirk’s Bible study on Philippians and we love it, too! Great teachings on DVD and the study is really rich with thought provoking questions. Makes for great discussions!
I am doing Priscilla Shirer’s study on Gideon with a small group @ FBC Mansfield on Sunday night. I started it this summer on my with LPM blog, but didn’t stick it out by myself, so plan on getting more out of it this time with the small group dynamic keeping me accountable.
