📌 Pre-Launch / Soft Opening Post
We’re glad you’re here. OpenBibleLab is in a soft opening phase. That means some things are finished, some are still taking shape, and more resources will continue to be added over time. If you’re here early, thank you! Communities like this grow best when they’re built slowly, with real people asking real questions, not all at once. Right now, the heart of OpenBibleLab is simple: - Careful Bible study - Honest questions - Learning at a steady, thoughtful pace You’re welcome to explore the Classroom, read through the resources, and join discussions where you feel comfortable. There’s no pressure to participate right away and no expectation to keep up. If you notice something that feels unfinished, unclear, or still forming, that’s okay. We’re building this with intention, not speed. Thanks for being part of the beginning. We’re glad to be learning alongside you.

🕯️ New Bible Study is Live - Asking, Seeking, and Waiting
A new Bible study on **Luke 11:5–13** is now live in OpenBibleLab. This passage sits with prayer when the door stays closed longer than expected. In the study, we slow down inside Jesus’ short story of a midnight knock. The request is small, the timing is inconvenient, and the first answer is no. What’s easy to miss is that the delay does not end the relationship. It stretches it. Asking, seeking, and knocking unfold over time, not as a formula, but as a posture shaped by trust. And then Jesus quietly reframes the whole scene by speaking about a parent and a child. The tension is left unresolved on purpose. The door opens, but not on our timetable. What changes is how waiting is understood. As you read or reread the passage, a few questions to notice with: 👀 What details in the story feel especially ordinary or awkward? 🤔 Where do you sense time and waiting built into Jesus’ words? 🕯️ Which image carries more weight for you, the closed door or the parent who gives? The full study is available in the Premium course area, and this conversation is open to everyone. Read the study if you’re able, and join in here. What stood out to you as you slowed down with this passage?

📌 Prayer Lab
This space exists for prayer. You are welcome to share prayer requests, updates, or answered prayers. You may also simply pray for others without commenting at length. When responding to a request, aim to pray rather than fix. You do not need to explain everything or share more than you are comfortable sharing. Brief requests are enough. This is a place for faithfulness, gentleness, and quiet support.

Psalm 42 Meditation Posted!
🌿 A new Weekly Psalm Meditation is now live in the Classroom. This week we’re sitting with Psalm 42, a prayer shaped by longing, memory, and thirst for the living God. It’s a psalm that doesn’t rush resolution, and invites us to stay present with what aches. 🕯️ These meditations are part of a slow, ongoing practice we return to week by week inside the Classroom. What line from Psalm 42 has stayed with you over time? Where do you notice longing showing up in your own prayer lately?
