The Story of Joseph
How God Can Redeem Imperfect Families – An 8-Week Bible Study
By Erin Davis
Publisher: Moody Publishers
The hope of redemption for your family and mine.
Family. Few words stir as much affection, and as much angst. You have hopes and dreams for your family. Everyone does. And yet each family tree holds gnarled branches of sin, disappointment, rebellion, and grief. There is brokenness in every family, but because no brokenness is too big for God, God can do a redemptive work in every family.
In this 8-week study, Bible teacher Erin Davis guides you through the genealogy of Joseph. It’s a messy story to be sure. But, ultimately, it’s a shining example of beautiful, lasting, God-ordained redemption. As you dig into Joseph’s family tree, you’ll discover that even in the face of dysfunction, deceit, and deep pain, God is at work. He has a good plan.
Family is God’s idea. He wants to bless your family from generation to generation. As you gather with your family or friends and participate in this study, you’ll find strength and hope – the Lord is building a beautiful family for His glory.

30 Days of Prayer
A Bible Study in Psalms
By Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa TerKeurst
Publisher: HarperChristian Resources
What if prayer was never meant to be complicated?
Prayer is often made out to be a chore. We feel guilty when our minds wander or when we don’t know what to say to God or when it seems like all we’re hearing is silence. The Proverbs 31 Ministries team invites you to discover what the Psalms teaches us about how we talk to God – and how it’s possible to live a life of continuous prayer that’s also a profound and life-sustaining relief.
Through an exploration of 30 Psalms, you’ll learn to let go of how you’re “supposed to” pray and open yourself to the freedom of expression contained in the words of the psalmists – whether you’re seeking joy, expressing gratitude, grappling with sorrow, or searching for answers. The act of prayer was never meant to be challenging or rigid, and God doesn’t expect perfection when we come to Him. He just asks us to come.
In 30 Days of Prayer: A Bible Study in Psalms, you will:
- Learn to pray God’s word back to Him
- Build a habit of prayer
- Discover the context of some of the most well-known psalms
- Analyze the words and imagery of Scripture
- Be equipped with prayers of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, lament, supplication, and intercession

How Biblically Sound Theology Deepens Our Relationship with God and Each Other
A Back Porch Theology Bible Study
By Lisa Harper
Publisher: HarperChristian Resources
Moving beyond facts to experience the fullness of God
Theology is a conversation about God. One that invites us to experience God in all His fullness rather than just memorizing facts about God. Theology is not some academic subject to only be pursued by professors and seminarians. Theology is the way we connect with our Redeemer. It’s how we remember that we’re His. And we will never have to be alone. This seven-week Bible study by Lisa Harper is your invitation to explore the depths of God’s character, God’s love for you, and how your relationship with Him transforms you. Ultimately, you will experience how biblically sound theology deepens your relationship with God and each other.
Unpack rich theological concepts, like:
- Imago Dei – what it means to be made in God’s image
- Hypostatic union – Jesus as fully God and fully human
- Christ’s Transcendence – that He is above and beyond all creation. He is holy, eternal, and sovereign.
- Christ’s Immanence – that He is present with and near to His creation.
- Coram Deo – living every moment in the presence of God.
- Pneumatology – the Holy Spirit, His role, and His work in our lives
. . . and so much more!
This study guide includes:

Daring Joy – Bible Study Book with Video Access
What Six Women in the Bible Teach Us About the Power of Celebration When It Feels Risky, Complicated, and Even Impossible
By Nicole Zasowski
Publisher: Lifeway Christian Resources
Joy can feel risky. When you’ve experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken.

Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture – one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances.
In this 7-session Bible study, Nicole Zasowski draws from her experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist to point you to the enduring joy Jesus promises. Through the examples of six women in the Bible who model both the vulnerability of joy and the power of celebration, you’ll see that God longs for you to embrace abundant joy! Don’t miss out on your beautiful, God-given life because you’re busy preparing for the worst.

She Delights Bible Study
A Five-Week Journey to Finding Joy in Christ
By Elle Cardel
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Let God’s delight in us inspire, guide, and transform our delight in Him! Sometimes it’s easy to forget that God delights in being present with us in every moment of our lives. In the good and the bad, God reigns and remains. But, if we are not consistently immersing ourselves in the truths of His Word and actively practicing the disciplines of delight that we find within its pages, we will easily find ourselves delighting in the things that don’t truly satisfy or sustain. In this five-session Bible study companion to the book She Delights, Elle Cardel, founder of the popular Daughter of Delight ministry, teaches readers to see what it means to delight in God’s ways over our own. She invites readers to join her as she wrestles with hard questions such as: What does it mean to delight in God and to have Him delight in me? Am I even worthy of God’s delight? How can I cling to what is good when life feels so hard? How do I faithfully pursue a relationship with Jesus when there is so much competing for my time?
The She Delights Bible Study is not a call to perfection. It is a grace-filled invitation to participate in the things that are holy and right and good that God will use to fashion us into the likeness of Christ. Join Elle as she shows you how to grow in your delight of God and live as a fully free, fully loved daughter of delight.

God of the Ordinary – Bible Study Book with Video Access
A Study in the Book of Ruth
By Alistair Begg
Publisher: Lifeway Christian Resources
The book of Ruth may be one of the loveliest short stories ever written, telling an unforgettable tale of purity, faithfulness, innocence, loyalty, duty, and love. Yet it is set in dark times. The final verse of the book of Judges, which precedes Ruth in the Bible, tells us that “in those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25). The time was marked by apostate religion, lawlessness, invasions, and tribal war. Against this backdrop of strife and chaos, Ruth is a story of ordinary people in Bethlehem making the most of their bad situation – and finding God in the midst of it.
Through this 6-session Bible study, Alistair Begg reminds us that no matter how dark or dramatic our days may seem, God still protects His people and accomplishes His purposes. Within life’s humdrum and routine events, we discover His loving hand at work.

Unraveling Our Story through God’s Covenants
By Tara Beth Leach
Publisher: HarperChristian Resources
Have you found your place in God’s story?
God’s story is a divine tapestry, intricately woven with intention from the beginning. Every thread connects the past, present, and future, revealing a Creator who intimately leans into your brokenness and chaos to bring redemption. From the first moments of creation, when God’s Spirit hovered over the waters, a plan full of shalom – wholeness and harmony – was set into motion. Humanity once walked in communion with God, but when we deviated from His design, sin began to unravel the beauty. Yet God’s love and plan never wavered.
Through the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic Covenants, we see God’s faithfulness and His desire to restore creation. These promises build toward fulfillment in Jesus Christ and invite us to weave our lives into God’s larger narrative.
This six-week Bible study by author and pastor Tara Beth Leach explores these sacred threads, helping you see God’s redemptive hand in your life. No matter where you are in the story, there’s a place for you in His plans for restoration and renewal.
This study guide includes:
- Individual access to six streaming video teachings from Tara Beth
- Engaging and evocative group discussion questions and activities
- In-depth personal Bible study between sessions
