Week Six | It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way Online Bible Study
Reading Assignments – None This Week | Catch Up Week
Did you know that approximately 50% of people who register to take part in an event or course or online Bible study quit? And of that 50%, typically 2/3 of the quitters don’t even show up, to begin with?
Participating in and keeping up with a fast-paced online community is challenging. I get it! But you’ve made it to week six… so you have a lot to be proud of!
I’ve participated in online Bible studies outside of Intentional Filling, so I fully understand how stressful they can be, especially if you get behind in your reading. I have been part of that percentage of quitters who didn’t finish the study.
I don’t want this for you! This is precisely why we’ve built in a week of GRACE for our members (and leaders)!
Grace Week is an opportunity for you to catch up on your reading assignments or just to lean into the mercy that the Lord has extended to you. Then we can reconvene after a week of rest to finish the study strong!
Feel like you’re too far behind? Don’t worry, you’re welcome to participate at whatever level you are comfortable. We never give any spoilers, but rather talk about the themes of each week, so we welcome you to join in our discussions in the Facebook Community.
Looking to get caught up? Spend some time in prayer seeking a place to begin. For some prayer is as easy as breathing, while for others it feels futile and even silly. But God desires to speak with His children. He desires a relationship. And it can be as easy as exclaiming to Him that you don’t know where to begin. Allow Him to fill you with His grace today!
Suggestions for your grace-filled week:
MONDAY | Spend some time catching up on reading the chapter assignments & blog posts.
TUESDAY | Spend some time commenting on your favorite blog posts from the study.
WEDNESDAY | Spend some time in prayer over the lessons you’ve learned.
THURSDAY | Spend some time showing love to yourself or someone in need.
FRIDAY | Join us in the Facebook Community for “Fill Me Up Friday” and share what you’ve learned through this time of reflection and giving grace to yourself.
My prayer for you this week is that you will let yourself off the hook, that you include a little extra grace in your health regimen, and you come back on Sunday refreshed and ready to finish this study strong!
COMMUNITY CHAT
The Facebook Community is still active this week and your leaders will be sharing some great content!
There will be NO Thursday Community Chat this week.
Share with us in the comments; we’d love to hear from you!
