Women of the Bible Guided Bible Study

This Guided Bible Study is designed to help you not only explore the lives of women in Scripture, but to learn how to study the Bible deeply for yourself.

Over the course of four weeks, you’ll walk through 20 women of the Bible, thoughtfully grouped into themes of waiting, courage, bold faith, and change. Each day focuses on a single character (or pair), guiding you through her story with historical context, cross-references, and theological insight that bring the text to life.

But this study goes beyond simply learning about these women.

Each section is intentionally structured to help you understand how to do a character study - teaching you to observe the text, recognize patterns, explore Scripture with Scripture, and uncover what each story reveals about God’s character and His work in and through His people.

You won’t just read their stories, you’ll learn how to study them. With guided prompts, strengths and weaknesses, and application questions woven throughout, this study helps you move from understanding Scripture to applying it in your own life.
