Welcome to the Ephesians Study! In this episode, we set the stage for the next 12 weeks as we dive into one of the most practical and powerful books in the New Testament. We’ll introduce the study format, share how you can engage with the passages each day, and explain the purpose of journaling, discussion questions, and cross-references.

This week is all about preparing your heart and mind to fully engage with God’s Word. We’ll talk about how to approach Scripture in a way that leads to life change, not just knowledge, and how community plays a key role in growing in faith.

Whether you’re joining a group or studying individually, this episode will help you get ready to take the next step in your walk with Christ and set the tone for the weeks ahead.

We’ve reached the final week of our Spiritual Rhythms study—and we’re closing with the rhythm that holds them all together: Surrender. As we stand on the edge of a new year, this is exactly where our hearts need to be. In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to lay our plans, expectations, control, and timelines at the feet of Jesus. Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust. It’s choosing obedience over comfort and faith over fear as we step into what God is doing next.

This episode also marks our final podcast episode of 2025. Thank you for walking with us through this season. We’ll see you back in 2026 as we roll out SHE Groups once again and begin a brand new study through the book of Ephesians. Until then, may you enter the new year surrendered, confident, and anchored in Christ.

In a world that never stops talking, scrolling, or demanding our attention, silence and solitude can feel almost impossible—and even uncomfortable. This week on the SHE Bible Study Podcast, we explore the Rhythm of Silence and Solitude: why Jesus intentionally withdrew, what Scripture teaches us about being alone with God, and how we can practice this rhythm in a loud, busy, modern world. We’ll talk honestly about distractions, spiritual noise, and the resistance we often feel when things get quiet—and why silence isn’t empty, but full of God’s presence.

As we near the end of this study, be looking out for ways to sign up for SHE Groups beginning in January. We can’t wait to walk this next season together.
