Every now and again in our nearly twelve years on the internet, we ask for your input. (Well, we always welcome it!) We conduct a survey of our most faithful readers to see what’s on your heart and how we can come alongside you in your journey to becoming a woman of courage. In our last such survey, we saw one theme come through loud and clear:
You want more Jesus, and you want more of God’s Word.
You want deep and meaningful Bible studies that you can do on your own or with a group of friends, and you don’t want them to take a long time.
You want depth of study, but understandably, you don’t want to spend the entire day pulling apart obscure texts and solving biblical mysteries. We get it.
Friends, we heard you, and we’ve answered:
Starting in August, join us for Bible Study Mondays right here on the website! We’re going to study the Bible — together, right here. We want to work through God’s Word with as many friends as possible, and Bible Study Mondays is one simple way we can do it. No signups, no Facebook groups, no hoops to jump through. Simply join us right here each Monday, starting in August. For six weeks, we will share a story, reflection questions, discussion videos, and more from our next Bible study: Courageous Influence: Embrace the Way God Made You for Impact, written by our editorial manager Grace P. Cho and featuring stories from (in)courage writers. This new Bible study is for you, whether you feel you have influence in your life or not (we guarantee that you do!).
We developed these Bible studies, gathered stories from our writers, and truly custom-made them for you. We’re just about to release our third study, and we’re loving the whole collection. Courageous Simplicity and Courageous Joy are available wherever books are sold. Courageous Influence will be available in July, followed by Courageous Kindness, coming in October.
We know that in order to really live our lives deeply and remain connected to Jesus, we need to know what the Bible says. Our Courageous Bible Studies offer just that — God’s Word on four thoughtful, unique, and important topics.
Each study includes weekly discussion videos that feature (in)courage writers discussing their way through the study, just like you. The studies also include thoughtful reflection questions accompanying each day. You can answer all of the questions or just some of them; it’s your journey so it’s entirely up to you!
Since there are four, it’s the easiest way to plan your year of Bible study! Use them on your own, in your women’s ministry at church, or with a group of friends. However you study Scripture, our series of Courageous Bible Studies provides a natural plan for your ongoing study.
But wait — there’s more! (said like a TV game show host) We’re so committed to reading God’s Word with you that we have four more Bible Studies coming out next year! Another complete set of four studies, designed to be worked through on your own or together with a group, which makes them perfect for whatever season you find yourself in. If you’re keeping track, that’s two full years of studying the Bible, all mapped out for you! Seriously, it couldn’t be easier to jump right in and let us do the heavy lifting of organizing, planning, and finding studies to do with your group.
We love coming alongside you in your real-life, honest, everyday glory in so many ways. You’ve read our devotionals, sipped tea from our mugs, pored over our books, worn our t-shirts and jewelry, carried our bags, and now our Bible studies offer one more way we can live out our faith together. (in)courage is thrilled to be your place for ongoing, meaningful Bible study that fits seamlessly into your life.

Beth Ewald says
I really enjoy the weekly videos and I like the stories that are given in the books of real life experiences. Everything is so easy to understand and very relatable to today’s living. Thank you, for letting me know that we all have similar feelings with dealing with life today.
Becky Keife says
Oh, that makes my heart so happy to hear, Beth. That’s exactly what our hope and prayer has been for these studies and videos!
Cornelia Melville says
I am looking forward to August and our time in the word. Courageous Simplicity was amazing loved the life stories. Courageous Joy is awesome still working through it. I am learning to be joyful in all things.
Joan Reinhart says
I absolutely LOVED Courageous Simplicity and benefited immensely from the study’s excellent format, readings, questions, and discussions, which were presented by truly outstanding Christ-centered authors!!! I have Courageous Joy, but was unable to participate publicly in the recent study due to being in an environment (on a boat in the Pacific Ocean) that had very poor WiFi service. I’m catching up now on that study. I’m looking forward to the future studies offered by your talented staff. Thank you for including me.

I have participated in your first two bible studies this year and will be looking forward to the next two on Influence and Kindness. I am also very excited to hear about the new Bible Study on Mondays starting in August! Your books are well written and provide just the right amount of scripture exploration, reflective thinking and of course prayer guidance for the topic of the day. The individual stories that start off each daily reading really help to set the stage for a deep dive. Thank you for all for the work and careful thought that has made this an extraordinary opportunity for me to deepen my relationship with the Lord and feel community with believers all over the country.
Beth Williams says
In Courage,
I did Courageous Simplicity & working through Courageous Joy. Love that they are short (only 6 weeks). Loving the stories from writers. It gives us a glimpse into their lives. Looking forward to Bible Study Mondays. Our church doesn’t/hasn’t done a Women’s Bible study in a while now. I love discussing the questions & digging deeper into His word. It promotes growth & makes me a better Christian.
Blessings 🙂
