Welcome to Week 0 of our 52 Week Bible Study! This week is all about preparing your heart and mind for the journey ahead. Take your time — there’s no rush. Slow and steady personal growth is the goal. 🐌 Step 1: Get Your Copy of the Book - Make sure you have your *own copy* of The Bible in 52 Weeks: A Yearlong Bible Study by Dr. Kimberly D. Moore. - This community is not sharing the book’s text, so you’ll need your own copy to follow along. Step 2: Set Up Your Space & Routine - Find a quiet, comfortable spot to study each week. - Decide on a consistent time to read, reflect, and journal. - Gather any supplies you might need: notebook, pens, highlighters, or your favorite Bible. Step 3: Reflect & Journal Take some time to think about your current faith journey. Here are a few prompts to get you started: - What prompted you to join in this study? - Where are you in your relationship with God right now? - How do you hope God will work in your heart this year? - One thing about God’s creation that inspires or comforts you. Feel free to journal your answers privately, or share a few thoughts in the discussion thread below. Step 4: Introduce Yourself We’d love to get to know you! Share a little about yourself in the comments: - Your name - Where you’re from - One thing about God’s creation that brings you joy - What you hope to gain from this study 💛 Week 0 is all about starting gently, connecting with the community, and preparing your heart for the journey ahead. There’s no reading assigned yet, just reflection, prayer, and getting ready. I’m so excited to walk this journey with you and to celebrate every step we take, slowly and steadily, rooted in God’s Word. Then, when you are ready, you'll find content for Week 1 - Week 52 in the modules!

🍂 WELCOME TO THE 52 WEEK BIBLE STUDY COMMUNITY! 🍂 I’m so excited to welcome you! I started this group to document my faith journey as I read through Dr. Kimberly D. Moore’s The Bible in 52 Weeks: A Yearlong Bible Study. I picked up the book at a local Five Below a few weeks ago, and it immediately captured my attention with its simplicity and clear structure. This community is a space where women can grow in faith, reflect deeply on God’s Word, and encourage one another, whether your journey lasts a year, shorter, or longer. 👋🏼A Bit About Me I am a 29-year-old wife (married 8 years!), a dog mom, a business owner as an online math teacher & tutor, an avid church goer, an advocate in my community for families & kiddos in foster care/adoption and a huge nature lover. 🌿Over the last few years, I’ve discovered a deeper love for nature and watching God’s creation in action. My husband and I took a 7,000+ mile road trip in May 2024, from Washington State back home to Raleigh, NC. We visited national/state parks, beaches, mountains, deserts, rainforests and so much more. It was such a healing experience for me after losing my mom to cancer in November 2023. I want the healing from that trip, the memories, and the beautiful pictures to be a part of this community, to steward our love of God’s creation in our personal journeys. We passed through 14 states on our main trip, so you might even see your state or city featured! 🌿 🛣️ My Journey in Faith I’ll be honest, I haven’t picked up my Bible as much since our trip. During my mom’s illness, I found myself mad at God, and I’m on a journey of learning to love Him and trust Him again. Something I have learned over the last few years is that slow progress is okay and showing up sometimes is the next best step. Just start! Wherever you are in your faith, this community is for you. This is about slow, steady spiritual growth, like a snail passing by on a trail. I captured the snail picture on our cover while on a walk through the beautiful Raven Rock Sate Park in Lillington, NC.
