We can’t believe we’re saying this, but fall is right around the corner. Which means you’re just weeks away from getting your study squad back together again. If your to-do list is a mile long, fear not—today, we’re bringing you everything you need to launch your fall Bible study with ease.
So let’s dive in with a few Q&As!
Q: Which study is right for my group?
A: Every group is looking for something different. Some want to study a particular book of the Bible, figure, or topic, and others want to make their way through a favorite author’s complete collection. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it on our list of top studies for the fall.

Q: How do I spread the word about a new study for women to join the group?
A: We’ll answer the question with a question: Did you know we have free promotional tools for every study? You can download a church bulletin, PowerPoint slides, social media share squares, invitations, and posters to help spread the word about your new study across your church campus and community.

Q: How do I wrap up the summer and kick off our fall Bible study well?
A: Join us for the Living Proof Simulcast with Beth Moore this September as it’s a ready-made women’s retreat! When you register your group, you’ll get a full day of Scripture-based teaching, prayer, and worship alongside thousands of women across the world. All you need is access to the Internet and a willingness to dig into God’s Word.
Even the simulcast itself is flexible. If you can’t make the September 15 date, you can choose a date that works best for your group with access to the event up to 30 days later. And did we mention it’s only $20 per person?
