While Intentional Filling is small in size,
it’s huge in heart. Your love for Bible Study from the Middle Eastern Lens is evident, as is your love for wanting women to be in the Word alongside you, studying the context of the Biblical narrative.
Your ministry is truly genuine and I am
grateful to have come across it.
I’m so grateful for these women who are dedicated to studying the Bible through a Middle Eastern Lens, in its historical, geographical, cultural, and linguistic context. It’s a true pleasure to feast on God’s Word at the table with each other and grow in the knowledge of the Lord. A beautiful knowing intimacy that doesn’t just fill our heads, but restores and renews our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
While searching FB for a page or organization about studying the Bible in its historical and cultural context, I found this group. The leaders are humble and authentic, the participants are from around the world, and all are wise in the Word, kind, compassionate, and real. What a delight to study with women who look and act so much like Jesus! Looking forward to joining more studies in the future.
How I stumbled across Intentional Filling, I can’t even explain, but I felt a connection with them immediately and was all in! And I’m so glad I did because ‘Jesus and Women’ is the Bible study that has most influenced my walk with the Lord. It was such a blessing to me and I am so grateful for this ministry. I will always support it in any way
I can. Thank you for your mission.
I appreciate the studies we’ve been doing. Getting to know my Savior through the culture He came into and ingesting Scripture through the lens it was spoken through is transforming me and refocusing me from the inside out.
I did a short 4-week study with IF and really enjoyed the ladies and looking through the Middle Eastern Lens doing a deeper dive.
I want a deeper understanding in proper context; many of the local studies are more “surfacey” –
so glad I found this group!
We believe that the most significant way to deepen your relationship
with Jesus Christ is to know and understand His Word.
let’s learn together!
We read non-fiction books to supplement the Word of God as we seek to
deepen our understanding of God’s will for our lives in the here and now.

2026 Study Schedule
our 12th year of study
Join us as we study the most beloved Psalm in 2026. In The Good Shepherd: A Thousand-Year Journey From Psalm 23 to the New Testament, Kenneth Bailey uses his insights into Middle Eastern culture and shepherding customs to help us more fully know our Good Shepherd.
Given the academic nature of this book, we have elected to spread out our study over the entire year, so we can more easily digest the content. Read a sample of the book (not included in membership cost).
