The Abide Method:
Learn to Study the Bible on Your Own

All you need is your Bible, paper, and a pen.

At Risen Motherhood, we use The Abide Method for studying the Bible.

Similar to the Inductive Bible Study method, the Abide Method is a way of studying the Bible that puts God first. We know engaging in a deliberate and dedicated study of God's Word can feel slow and difficult at times. It will mean some frustration, questions, and learning to live deep in the "I don't know." But over time, seeking to understand the true meaning of God's Word provides a backdrop for gospel-centered thinking, allowing us to discern truth and make wise decisions through a biblical lens. In our free guide, we’ll teach you how to study the Bible using the Bible itself, so you can do it any time, any place, with just a paper and pen.

It’s always more fun to do things with mom pals. 

Most of the time, the most difficult part of studying the Bible with others is finding someone who is willing to organize it. Spoiler alert: It’s not as hard as it seems! Plus, we’re here to walk you through it. Check out our free guide—made by moms, for moms.
