This cohort will make the Bible easier, more enjoyable and help you get more out of your reading without feeling intimidated, frustrated or overwhelmed.
After this cohort you'll be able to quickly identify the context and three key applications from every part of the Bible. You'll be aligning your beliefs with Scripture instead of what others say. And it's easier than you think!
This twelve-week live online community will provide the jumpstart you need for a lifelong love of the Bible and confidence in what you read and discover. The Bible will come alive and you will too!
If This Sounds Like You, This Live Online Cohort Is for You:
I just want to know how to read and understand the Bible better in an easy-to-follow way. It's confusing to me.
I want to get more from my reading but don't really know where to begin. So, too many times, I don't pick it up!
Reading the Bible is frustrating. It doesn't make sense. I feel like there's something wrong with me and can't seem to figure out how to understand the Bible.
Deep down I question some things I've been taught or told to believe. I want to learn how to form my own beliefs based on what the Bible actually says.
I've read the Bible a long time but feel like I should be getting more out of it.
The Bible's intimidating and overwhelming to me. I don't read it but want to.
I'm not trained in the Bible. I just want to enjoy reading and understanding it better.
How can I know if what my church or religious tradition teaches is correct?
I'm ready to take my understanding to new levels, form my own beliefs and gain the ability to make more personal application.
I want to learn these skills in community with others while gaining confidence in and comprehension of the Bible.

I have been a Bible reader for a long time and thought there was something wrong with me! I just couldn’t figure the Bible out. I tried other methods before but nothing stuck. But this cohort changed all of that! Steve’s live cohort is different — the personal interaction and weekly practice made everything click. And I made new friends in this gentle and welcoming cohort. I now open my Bible every day and look forward to reading it. I have confidence in wherever I’m reading now that I know how to put it in context and use the tools from the cohort. I highly recommend it. Thank you Steve!

I have been reading the Bible for well over two decades, but never really felt confident about my knowledge of what I was reading in the Bible. When the Bible Confidence Cohort became available, I liked the idea of gaining confidence and knowledge about what I was reading. I have recently completed the Cohort hosted by Steve. The Cohort equipped me with helpful insight and practical applications that I have learned to use while reading and studying God's Word. I would highly recommend the Bible Confidence Cohort.

When I first heard that Steve was going to offer this class, I was so excited because I always had this fear that I didn't want to tell anybody that I didn't know how to study the Bible. I was afraid they would judge me, they would think I was incompetent. But when this came across, I jumped on it and I just couldn't wait to take it. And I'm so glad that we did. We have read the Bible for over 20 years, day in and day out, and that's exactly what I did, was read the Bible. I wasn't studying it because I didn't know how. Now that we've taken this course, Steve has given us the tools. And now I understand it better. And I just encourage you all to jump on, take the course, jump into it. Don't let anybody intimidate you. We all have different walks of life and how we learn and how we perceive. And I guarantee that this study will help you no matter where you're at in your walk and your studying of the Bible…

The Bible Confidence and comprehension class was easy to attend. It was comfortable, it was informative, sometimes eye opening. Also, I want to reinforce that God met each of us who attended the class exactly where we each are on our faith walk. This cohort provided me with many tools and methods to read and study God's Word. Practicing and step by step application of what I learned made it easier to establish the habits of reading and studying the Bible. I learned truths that challenged my lifelong assumptions of interpreting Bible verses. I now feel more confident in reading my Bible and my comprehension is based on careful study using a variety of techniques that I learned in the course. My confidence in comprehending accurately the Bible verses I read also has improved. This cohort is well worth your time to take. Do it. You will not regret the commitment and the 12 weeks will go by very quickly.

I took this Bible cohort with Steve because I always want to know what the Bible says, what the Bible means, and how I can apply it to my walk with Jesus Christ. And this course helped me in my fundamentals…. And then it helps you to just delve deeper and deeper into the word of the Lord and to help you with your walk with Him. And I would highly recommend it…

Do I need any special materials or a particular Bible translation?
No special materials are required. You can use any Bible translation you're comfortable with. That said, more literal translations tend to work well for the kind of exercises we'll be doing in class and you'll be doing during the week — but bring whatever Bible you love.
