Dwelling Richly Bible studies are designed with different learners in mind. Some of us process by writing, others by discussing, reflecting quietly, or expressing ideas creatively. Each lesson offers a variety of ways to engage Scripture so every woman has space to think deeply, grow spiritually, and respond to God’s Word in the way that helps it take root in her life.

My Hope and Mission

As always, I write the Dwelling Richly studies with a desire that we wouldn’t just “do” Bible study but would truly “let the Word of Christ dwell” in us richly. No matter where you are in this season of life, you will find this study will help you grow in your faith and guide you in developing good habits as a maturing follower of Jesus Christ.

Today is a good day to share this with a friend. You can share on Facebook, Instagram, email or good ol’ fashioned way – just tell someone! Every time you share you help us reach women like you who want to learn more
how to love God truly, heart, soul, mind, and strength and live that abundant God-honoring life we all want.
Thank you!
