She Walks Worthy ] Bible Study for Women, Bible Study for Beginners, Bible Study for Seekers, Bible Journey,
Hello and welcome to the She Walks Worthy Podcast! Are you a follower of Jesus but you struggle with your Bible Study time? Do you find the Bible overwhelming and you just don’t know where to start? Have you tried to read it but you don’t really understand it, or maybe even find it a little bit boring? Or are you super busy with all-the-things and you think you can’t possibly add anything else - so Bible Study gets put on the shelf until life slows down? If you said yes to any of those questions, Sister, you are in the right place! My name is Penni, and at one time or another I have answered yes to all of those questions, too. What I was stunned to find out was that I had never been taught how to read the Bible! I was in my 40s when someone finally gave me the keys that unlocked scripture. And I don’t want you to have to spend any more time struggling with your Bible time. You don’t have to think the Bible is overwhelming or boring or you don’t have time for it. I am here to help you learn to LOVE your Bible! You CAN learn to read it!! It is living and active, and it can be the best part of your day. This is a Bible Study for Women who have been believers for a long time, this is a Bible study for new Christians, this is a great Beginners Bible Study. This is a Bible Study for anyone who wants to know God more and love God more. So I hope you’ll join me on this journey and we will be a community of women who seek to walk worthy.

This is it, the final chapter of Colossians where Paul once again reminds the Colossae worshipers that the life of a believer is marked by consistent, steadfast prayer. He tells them when they are interacting with unbelievers to be SALTY. What does that even mean? Ahhhh, I explain it all in this episode of our Women's Bible Study. (OK, I have a little help from John Piper.)
Then we get a glimpse of the softer side of Paul. He has his heart on his sleeve as he sends greetings from his companions. It's a sweet reminder that this stalwart of the faith, was a real person. He had emotions and a personality, and was probably a fun and interesting guy to be around. Have you ever thought about Paul like that?

We finish up the letter to the Colossians this week in our Women's Bible Study. I feel like this last chapter is a real glimpse into Paul's emotional character - which is a side we don't often think about when it comes to Paul.
Paul transitions into his closing much the same way he opens the letter, talking about prayer. Then he gives one last discipleship instruction that recalls Jesus' own words about being salt and light.
And finally, we get to look at Paul's fellowship. Who was with Paul as he was in his chains for the gospel? Can we learn something from his example?

We are winding down the book of Colossians in our Women's Bible Study, where this week in chapter three we are exhorted by Paul to seek Christ and set our minds of heavenly things. We learn about the "already but not yet" reality of this Christian life, as we are implored to be who we already are in the power of Christ.

In our Women's Bible Study this week, we are reading Colossians chapter 3, where Paul transitions from expounding on Supremacy of Christ, into what lives lived out of this knowledge should look like. He has told his readers in chapters 1 & 2 to "walk in a manner worthy of the Lord," and he has told them to "walk in [Christ]," and now he sets out to help his audience do just that. But it's not about a checklist....read chapter 3 with us and see it you can understand what Paul is teaching this young church, and even his readers today. Then join us next week as we work it all out in our big episode.

We mark the half way point in the short little book of Colossians this week in our Women's Bible Study. We learn what a miracle this little letter is in light of the history of Colossae. We talk about what keeps the Apostle Paul up at night. We hear Paul over and over again point us to the center of our life: Christ Jesus the Lord. In order to combat the deceit of the false teachers, Paul exhorts his readers to be rooted and grounded in the gospel of Christ which they were taught; he pleads with them not to turn away to some new teaching, even if it sounds reasonable, if it exalts anything above Christ, or makes anything equal to Christ. It's false doctrine and it's a delusion. Be aware!!

We're already almost half way through the book of Colossians in our Women's Bible Study.
It's a short read this week in Chapter 2, but it is jam packed with content! As you read, be on the lookout for those Christian Trifecta Character elements that Paul commends the Colossian believers for, and be looking for our key themes that we talked about last week (if you don't remember what any of these are, that's what you're here for...go ahead and listen and I'lll refresh your memory!). And finally, keep your eyes open for Paul's warnings against false teaching. Just like the ancient serpent, false teachers are crafty, and we must be on guard.
Enjoy this week, and I'll meet you right back here next week!

We begin a brand new study today at She Walks Worthy. This is our Women's Bible Study for the book of Colossians. It's a great week to join us as we are introduced this week to the author, the original audience, and why the book was written. Then we dive into the first chapter and we see the gospel already at work among these new believers, but Paul wants more for them. He wants them to grow into maturity in Christ. He wants them to see that Christ is worth growing into maturity for, because Christ is the great mystery, once concealed, but now revealed: Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Y'all I know I'm a day late, and I'm sooooo sorry. I really thought I could get it done with a 12 hour recovery after my 17 hour flight...but the jet lag was real this time!
Anywhoooo, I hope you enjoy this Easter themed podcast all about the Resurrection of Christ and why it matters. As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15, the gospel isn't the gospel without the Resurrection. I really enjoyed digging in for this episode, and I loved putting it together for you. I pray that it blesses you.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
Up next, we study Colossians...stay tuned.
