Hi, I'm Kristen, a coffee-loving mom from a small town who finally found a Bible study system that actually sticks.
The Best Bible Study Guide for Real Life
I tried 7 different Bible study guides before I found one that actually worked for a busy mom like me. Here's my honest review, and why thousands of women are making the switch.
See the Bible Study Guide I Use →I Used to Feel Like a Terrible Christian
I'm going to be really honest here. For years, I felt like a terrible Christian because I couldn't stick with a Bible study. I'd start strong in January, fall off by February, and spend the rest of the year feeling guilty about it.
Sound familiar?
Between school drop-offs, work, meal prep, laundry that multiplies overnight, and kids who think bedtime is a suggestion... finding time for a structured Bible study felt impossible. And every guide I tried seemed designed for someone with two free hours and a theology degree.
I tried the popular women's Bible studies. I tried apps. I tried reading plans that had me in Leviticus by week 3 (spoiler: I didn't make it). I even tried journaling Bibles, which were beautiful but made me feel like I needed to be an artist AND a scholar.
That's when I found the system I'm about to share with you. And honestly? It changed everything. Not because it's fancy or complicated, but because it's simple enough to actually do. Every day. Even on the hard days.

"I've tried so many Bible studies and always quit by week 3. This is the first one I actually finished, and I'm going through it again."
"Finally, a Bible study that doesn't make me feel guilty for having a busy life. I do it during nap time and it's become my favorite 15 minutes of the day."
"I bought this for our women's group at church and everyone loved it. The discussion questions are perfect, not too deep, not too shallow."
How I Actually Use This Bible Study Guide
Here's what a typical morning looks like for me: I wake up about 20 minutes before the kids (on a good day). I make my coffee, open my Bible and the study guide, and spend 15 minutes with that day's reading and reflection questions.
Some days I write long journal entries. Some days I jot down one sentence. Some days I just sit with the words and let them sink in. There's no wrong way to do it, and that's what makes it work.
On the days I miss (because life), I don't stress. I just pick up where I left off. No guilt. No catching up. No "I'll start over on Monday." Just grace.
After six months of using this guide, I've read more of the Bible than I did in the previous five years combined. And more importantly, I actually understand what I'm reading and can see how it applies to my life as a mom, a wife, and a woman trying to figure it all out.
