WHAT OUR MEETING GOD IN SCRIPTURE STUDENTS SAY:
“Scripture has become more personal, real, as if I’m walking closely with Jesus instead of only reading words.”
WHAT OUR MEETING GOD IN SCRIPTURE STUDENTS SAY:
“Your course has given me a lot of freedom in my relationship with Jesus. The traditional ways to structure a quiet time have been hard for me to do. I get bogged down and have felt frustrated with them. But your approach to meditation and relationship with Jesus has helped me to put aside those things and just focus on being with Jesus and listening to him.”
WHAT OUR MEETING GOD IN SCRIPTURE STUDENTS SAY:
“This has been the perfect next step for me. God has already allowed me to catch glimpses of Him transforming some of my perspectives
and attitudes via sitting with His Word through lectio divina.”
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT OUR MEETING GOD IN SCRIPTURE STUDENTS SAY:
"I loved the study videos because they helped me connect with the passage in such a deeper way. The lectio became VERY meaninful. I have tried to do lectio before taking this course and it didn't really change my life. I love Jan's teaching and am SO thankful to have discovered this course--it was definitely a movement of God in my life. I look forward to meditating on scripture each day."
