As a Bible teacher, as a mom, as a woman in the Word, this podcast is incredibly helpful and encouraging! I am so grateful for the time and effort these amazing women put into teaching us how to study God’s Word effectively!
So helpful for women’s ministry team!

Jen Wilkin’s Bible Studies in 2015ish truly cultivated a love of the Word in a way I had not experienced growing up in the church. Ever since I’ve been learning from her both in Scripture and practical ways- and this podcast hits so many practical ways to grow individually and in a group. Currently, as our women’s ministry volunteer leader, we’re evaluating what our Bible Study looks like and season 3 is giving us so many helpful considerations. I only wish there was linked training that is mentioned by a few of these guests (ie small group training)… can you have a group of women sit in a room and listen to a podcast and call it a training!? Kidding, but in all seriousness, I’ve been sharing these episodes with my team and we are catching a fresh vision to lead our women in their faith!
Real Bible study

Jen Wilkin has influenced my Bible study over the years probably more than anyone else. I used to be so frustrated by my lack of retention. Now I know I was not studying in a way that builds my Bible literacy. I have changed my ways and am reaping the benefits because of Jen! ❤️
Thank you!

This podcast has been so helpful as I prepare to lead summer Bible studies this year and last! Perfect timing! I don’t know where I could submit a question but I would love to hear ideas on balancing prayer requests with Bible study time. Thank you for being faithful in your teaching!
