Discovering Hope in the Psalms Online Bible Study

JOIN ME FOR THIS FREE • 8 WEEK • ONLINE BIBLE STUDY!

Do you want to experience more hope in your life?
Delight in the One who is able to shine light into the midst of darkness?
My friend… I do believe you’re in the right place!

Discovering Hope in the Psalms was written and designed to encourage your heart to hope as you interact with the Psalms in a multitude of ways… because the more ways we interact with scripture, the better we remember… and apply… its truth to our lives!

You are invited to join me on this eight-week journey through the Psalms
where together we will delight in the Lord and discover the glorious hope that is ours in Christ.

With each chapter…
• you will dive deep into what the Psalms teach about hope.
• you will be encouraged to set hope alive in your heart
• and you will be inspired to express your faith through your own personal style of creativity!
**please note… no artistic ability required**

Every Tuesday we will gather together in our own private FB Group where I will guide us through each chapter via FB Live and we can interact together! Rest assured that even if you can’t make the meeting time the videos will remain posted for you to watch anytime after.

Each session will begin promptly at 6:06 pm PT (7:06 MT – 8:06 CT – 9:06 ET) and last between 40 minutes to an hour.

FREE… DOWNLOAD and GIVEAWAY… EVERY WEEK OF THE STUDY!

Once you sign up… you will be taken to a new page with  the link to our Private FB Group
and links to download your first HOPE printables… including a schedule of the dates we’ll meet!

What a rich treasury of insights, instruction, and inspiration. Discovering Hope in the Psalms can only create great joy and confidence. I can see this book being used over and over again, drawing the student into God’s eternal truths and resulting in a deeper level of hope.
