How Does Online Bible Study Work?

What a great adventure we have ahead of us as we discover what it takes to be a woman who says YES to God. Embracing simple obedience can set us on a journey to experiencing extraordinary things in life! Our saying YES to God will not only change our lives, but the lives of those around us.

So here are the basics of how we will make this online journey together an adventure to remember!!

First of all, if you were added to the Facebook group or have just found us online but haven’t registered, please go do that now! You can do that at tinyurl.com/Yes2God  .

What do I need?
  1. A copy of What Happens When Women SayYes to God, by Lysa Terkeurst. (You can find it anywhere Christian books are sold)
  2. A Bible (whatever version you wish to use)
  3. You may want to have a journal or notebook to write down what God speaks to you during this study as well as have a place to answer the questions at the end of each chapter.
  4. A heart that is ready and willing to say YES!!

When do we “meet”?
For a schedule of when we will cover each chapter, please check out the Schedule link at the top of the page.

This is an Online Bible Study, meant to be something that each lady can do as it fits her schedule. There are no set times to be online each week. Read when you can. Post in our Facebook Group when you can. Reply to others when you can.

How does it all work?
Each week a new post will be added to our Bible Study Blog on the date listed in the schedule above. Once that post is available, it will be shared in our Facebook group and on our social media sites. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest).

Each post will include information at the bottom about who wrote the post so that you will know who is leading the study for that week!

Here’s what you need to do:

Read:
  1. The chapter for the week
  2. The blog post for the week
Do:
  1. Go to the Facebook Group and answer the discussion questions for that week.
  2. Share anything related to the chapter that you would like or ask any other questions that you would like about the chapter that week. (Discussion is not limited to only the questions posted!)
  3. Encourage each other by responding to others posts!!
Verse of the Week:
Each week will include a verse of the week. Post it somewhere so you will see it each day! Read it every time you see it! Memorize it if you would like!!

Phrase of the week:
Each week we will have a phrase of the week. Something to remind us of the main point of what we are studying for that week. The phrase of the week will also be posted in hashtag form!!

Share what is going on in our Bible study on social media (share the link to the post for the week) and use the hashtag of the week. You can also use our hashtag #araogwow and the book’s hashtag #YesToGod.

If someone asks you about joining in, send them to the blog to get started! Everything will stay on the blog so if someone hears about it late and still wants to join in, they can catch up!!

How much can I expect to get out of this Online Bible Study?
You will get out of this study what you put into it. Don't just read the book and the blog post and call it good! Get into the word! We want you to search out the truth of The Word!

There are questions at the end of each chapter. Some will be asked as discussion questions and some won't. To get the most out of the study, answer all the questions for yourself, in your journal, on your own that aren't asked online.

Be active in our Facebook group!! Ask questions, respond to others. This is how we will make this online study a group study and not just something you do on your own at home!!

Questions:
Along the way if you have any questions about what is going on, feel free to post them in the Facebook group or email araogwow@gmail.com.

So, let's take this journey together!! Who's ready?
