Because when everything else is stripped away, the truth doesn’t leave you exposed…it enlightens you, equips you, and empowers you.

The Bible + The book

Learn the READ Method-
Reveal. Explain. Apply. Discuss.
A simple, repeatable way to study Scripture and help others do the same.
The Method
First, read the chapter summary and ask yourself or those you are with the first question(s) to get you thinking.
Second, look up the scripture passage referenced at the end of the chapter and read it. Then read it again. If possible, read it in a different translation. Every translation can help you notice something you may have missed the first time.
If you’re studying with a group, challenge yourselves to retell the passage together without looking at the text. You’ll be surprised how much you remember and how much you learn from one another.
Then answer these four questions by looking down and examining the text:
R — Reveal: What does this passage REVEAL about God and His character? What does it teach you about who He is and what He does?
E — Explain: What does this passage EXPLAIN about mankind? What does it EXPLAIN about who we are, how we think, and how we live?
A — Apply: What is one specific thing you can APPLY to your life today because of this passage?
D — Discuss: Who can you DISCUSS this passage with in the next 48 hours? Share what you learned, what challenged you, or what encouraged you.
The Mission
Don't just read the Bible-live it and share it. Join or start a group, access leader resources, watch weekly messages, and help one more person find what matters.
On the fence about starting a group? We’ve created a resource guide to help remove any barriers!
The Series
Join us September 10-13 as we kick off week 1 of this series across all campuses! Be sure to invite someone and help one more find what matters by connecting to Jesus and others.
