DO YOU want to overcome the frustration of not finding time for Bible study?

DO YOU desire to have a deeper understanding of the Bible?

DO YOU wonder if others are able to study the Bible in ways you cannot?

WOULD IT be easier for you to study the Bible if you had a group of friends who studied with you?

Community means connecting with others who are passionate about the Word of God.

SOU will utilize the Circle platform for information and interaction. It will be similar to a Facebook group, but with additional features and off social media. Circle will house the Bible lessons, the links to connect to live events, and the interaction between members and mentors. It will also offer a membership directory to make it easy to get to know community members.

A beta team member samples a product or service before it is open to others.

The beta team for SOU will engage in all aspects of the community, study, and resources and provide suggestions for improvement to strengthen the experience for others.

The study will focus on verses from Psalm 139.

Angie has written four lessons specifically for the beta team. Each lesson looks at a verse from Psalm 139 and includes guided prayers, a Step By Step study, a devotion from Angie, and a podcast with Angie and a guest. You can preview the first lesson here.

Hello, I'm Angie Baughman.

I am a pastor, Bible teacher, podcaster, author, speaker, founder of Steady On, and creator of the Step By Step Bible study method. Yes, I know! That's a lot of job titles.

More than all that, though, I am a woman who has been touched by the hand of God through Bible study.

I began seriously studying the Bible in 2000 when I was introduced to inductive Bible studies offered through Precept ministries. I later became certified to teach Precept classes and have led hundreds of Bible study classes over the past two decades.

In all that studying and teaching, here's what I know to be true:

• The enemy does not want us to know the Word of God and will use distractions to keep us out.
• Healing is found in the Word of God and we must fight for our time to stay in.

Building in accountability and intentionality around our Bible study is imperative. You will find excellent teaching and Bible study content inside SOU, yes. But perhaps even more importantly, you will find community, support, and structure that helps you develop CONSISTENT Bible study habits.

Approximately three to four hours per week for five weeks.

The daily Bible lesson will take about twenty to sixty minutes per section, depending on the material covered and how deeply you study. There are four sections of material in each weekly lesson.

The live events you attend or watch on replay will run for approximately one hour each and will offer additional insights as well as opportunities for questions and sharing . Angie's weekly check-ins and wrap-ups will be ten to fifteen minutes long and will encourage you to start fresh and keep going.

$17.
