Share : Connect : Belong : Grow

This study is designed to help you consider friendships and community relationships. It's ideal for couples, families, and friend groups, or just yourself!

You will:

  • consider friendships and relationships in the early church
  • share stories about your own experiences
  • learn ideas for living differently
  • get to know family and friends even better

The course consists of 12 sessions that involve reading the book of Acts, discussing selected passages, and sharing experiences prompted by the main topic covered in the scripture. Your purchase gives you access to the study including downloadable and printable PDFs of each lesson.

Hello!

Experiencing the world and interacting with people can be transformative. Taking action and discussing these experiences, honestly and kindly, leads to a deeper understanding of who you are, who your neighbors are, and who God is -- and how he's calling you.

I've created Bible studies and tools for you. Use them to explore various topics on your own or with a trusted group, reflect on scripture, and get to know yourself, family members, and friends. Bring forth your memories and gain the courage to share them with your friends (follow along with my perspective and stories in the "notes" sections).

My goal is to help you cultivate resilience and discernment, independent of outside pressures and inspired by God's grace.

If you're ready to consider new ways of living, thinking, and doing life differently, please join me.

P.S. I'm a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor's degree in business. I enjoy writing, analyzing finances, cycling, hiking, talking with friends and family, and working outside.
