![]() In Living Beyond Yourself, noted Bible teacher and author Beth Moore leads an in-depth study of the fruit of the Spirit-living proof that the Spirit of God dwells in us. It’s called “Living Beyond Yourself,” and after getting through several weeks of it at the beginning of this year before I had a work opportunity come up and could no longer attend my group’s meetings, I can safely say it is every bit as wonderful as Breaking Free was. I know because it’s happened not only to me, but to just about everyone I know who’s participated in a Beth Moore study.Īnd that brings me to the study I’m doing with you guys. I think that if you take a leap of faith and really make an effort to participate fully in this study by watching the sessions and doing the homework, your life will change for the better. Maybe you should be- in a scared/excited kind of way. Consequently, there were many, many days when I sat in the car rider pickup line during that study (because that’s the time I used to do my “homework”) bawling my eyes out. That meant that all of the profound revelations I experienced throughout the study, the “a-ha moments,” the major breakthroughs all came not when I was listening to Beth speak (although she is an excellent speaker), but instead when I was reading my Bible.Īnd that’s what I think Beth’s true talent is– She is very, very good at giving us the study skills and discipline that we need to really read the Bible in detail and let God speak directly to our hearts through His word. That’s because in addition to a one-hour video (or audio) session once a week, Beth Moore Bible studies also include about 30-45 minutes of “homework” per day, five days a week, and almost the entire time is spent reading your Bible and processing what you’ve read. What makes Beth Moore studies so amazing is that when you commit to one, you will be fully committing yourself to the study of Scripture. They’re not about her or her personality - in fact, to be honest, her personality (and more specifically her wardrobe, which my friends and I never stopped giggling about) takes some getting used to. That’s what’s funny about Beth Moore’s studies. I’m sure she’s winning people over to her personality and lifestyle, not really deepening anyone’s relationship with God.” ![]() ![]() She must be one of those weird charismatic televangelists. I’m sure that after reading these words, some of you are thinking the same things I thought about Beth Moore before I did the study. Most importantly, it reconnected me to God. It caused me to come to some major realizations about myself, my life, and the lives of those around me. After immersing myself in that study, I think and respond differently to so many things to this day. I did her “Breaking Free” Bible study with some friends from my church about a year and a half ago, and I can tell you right now that it radically changed me. This post will give you all the details you need to sign up and get ready for a 10-week Beth Moore study.įirst, though, let me tell you what I know about Beth Moore. Well, I was surprised and delighted to find that many of you are interested in participating, which is AWESOME because I think it will make a huge difference in your lives and I’m so excited to help make that possible. When I asked a few weeks ago if anyone was interested in doing an online Beth Moore Bible study with me, I was hoping seven or eight of you might respond.
