An Advent Study Through the Book of Hebrews
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for he who promised is faithful.
– Hebrews 10:23
The season of Advent is an invitation–an opportunity to slow down and take notice, to slow down and take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus’ birth, a season of reflection and anticipation.
This study is not meant to be another “to do” on your list or create more stress in an already stressful season, but rather to point you to the reason He came in the first place. His coming was more than giving us forgiveness of sins or to part the way before us. He came to part the divide between God and us, between us and heaven. Jesus is our Way Maker.

Is Jesus Worth It?
I cannot recommend this book enough! Stacey Thacker has an ease of tackling the theology of Hebrews. You’ll feel like you are sitting across the table with a wise girlfriend as she traverses the freeing truths of this important New Testament book. Her heart is for you. Her approach is Biblical. Her words are encouraging.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:12-13

Guided Inductive Studies
These studies include questions to help guide your time in the Word. Unlike a standard question-based Bible study, the questions are designed to jumpstart your thinking and walk you through the observation process, while still allowing the Holy Spirit to be your ultimate guide. These are great options if you are new to inductive study, but they also provide the opportunity to go deeper for the more seasoned student as well.
Stories from the Wilderness
A Study of the Israelites Journey from Egypt to the Promised Land
The wilderness. It is a place that feels hard, empty, lifeless and pathless, and it often leaves us with questions about who God is. But while we see a place that is worthless, confusing, and chaotic, God sees a place to display His power. Time and time again throughout Scripture, God takes the worthless, seemingly wasteful, confusing, chaotic, and empty places and uses them as a backdrop to prove His character, draw us in, and display His glory.
To Dwell in Our Midst

By His Grace For His Glory
An Inductive Bible Study on the Book of Romans

It is an incredibly powerful book that has been changing lives for centuries, and the truths in these 16 chapters have the power to change our faith too … if we let it.

Unexpected
Savior
An Inductive Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us.
Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.
The Gospel of John
This book is unlike the other three gospels in that it focuses on the deity of Christ. Instead of merely retelling the events of Jesus’ life, John gives us interpretation as well and shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. This study is broken into two 11-week studies: Chapters 1-10 and Chapters 11-21. All the teaching is available on YouTube or Seasons 1 & 3 of the Feasting on Truth Podcast.
Simple Inductive Studies
These studies focus on my favorite aspect of Bible study: God’s character. Each session, you write out the Scripture for that week and answer 2-3 questions meant to point you to His Character and purpose for the passage. These are great studies for the busy woman who wants to focus on the Word and His character or for the season you need small bits of Scripture.
Light & Life
An Inductive Bible Study Journal on Psalm 119
We hear it all the time: we need to read the Bible every day. But why is it so important that we know, understand, and apply this ancient book to our lives today? What’s in it for us?? In Psalm 119, we see over and over that God’s Word brings life, and it’s a light to guide us. If we truly knew the power the Word of God has in our lives, we wouldn’t be able to put it down.
Way Maker
An Advent Study Through the Book of Hebrews
