i see you there

Bible in hand & pen at the ready.

But quicker than you can say Nebuchadnezzar, the confident twinkle in your eye fades as you flip through those impossibly thin pages of Scripture, trying to make it make sense.

Deep Bible study isn’t for sissies!


I’m Bree, a Jesus lover & coffee connoisseur here to
help you find clarity in the ancient text of God’s Word.

Welcome, friend!

It’s easy (and a lot of fun) to buy a new Bible + all of the pretty pens, highlighters, and stickers, but when it gets down to the nitty-gritty of actually studying the Bible — it’s NOT so simple!

Not too many years ago, I didn’t know how to read the Bible for myself. It’s true! I had attended church since before I could walk but never learned how to read and understand the words that held the key to transforming my life & my relationship with Jesus forever.

But I’m here to tell you it is possible for you to:

  • Open your Bible without anxiety and trepidation,
  • Begin to make connections between the Old and New Testaments,
  • Make Bible reading a priority and even fit it into your busy schedule,
  • Find confidence in reading God’s Word through its context

You don’t have to go it alone!

Intentional Filling is here to help you open your Bible with confidence & find a whole new understanding by intentionally studying the context of Scripture!

You may be wondering…

In our seasonal Online Biblical Studies, we read non-fiction books to supplement the Word of God as we seek to learn and deepen our understanding of His Word and His heart for His people.

The books that are selected focus on gaining insight from Scripture based on its cultural, historical, geographical, and linguistic context.

Each of our studies consists of:
– weekly blog posts corresponding to the assigned reading
– access to our exclusive online community for weekly discussions
– free resources and printable content
– invitation to join women around the globe in weekly Zoom calls

Don’t be surprised if you find that you fall a little more in love with Jesus, too!

Bree Blum, the Ministry Leader + Community Connector, has been blogging about her faith since 2012, and through it, the question was posed to her, “Have you ever considered leading a book study?”

Bree’s immediate response was, “I don’t think I have the following necessary to make something like that happen.”

But that’s the thing with God, He doesn’t care about how many followers you have, if He wants to use you to further His kingdom, He’ll find a way to do just that.

So as she tried to squash the idea, a whisper told her heart that everyone strives to be intentionally filled by something and that this study could help many to close that gap.  The whisper didn’t let up.  It said that a community of believers that encouraged one another could help many to find ways to intentionally fill those gaps in a manner that is pleasing to the Creator that placed them within. Thus Intentional Filling was born.
