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 it doesn’t all make sense to me. It’s frustrating and keeps me from picking it up like I should.
I’ve been reading the Bible for years and it feels like I should be getting more out of it. I feel like there's something wrong with me.
Deep down I question some things I've been taught to believe. I want to learn how to form my own beliefs based on what the Bible actually says.
The Bible intimidates me. I don't read it as often as I’d like and am ready for that to change.
I'm not trained in the Bible or scholarly. I just want to enjoy reading and find it easier to understanding.
How can I know if what my church or religious tradition teaches is correct? I want to know that my beliefs align with Scripture.
I'm ready to take my understanding to new levels, form my own beliefs and gain the ability to make more personal application from Scripture.
I'm ready to make my time in God’s word more meaningful and personal and want to have a solid Bible reading routine that I look forward to.
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 recommend this cohort as it was different than any Bible study I've ever done. Steve is a great teacher, and gave me the tools to study, to really learn God's word and comprehend what I'm reading. Steve is encouraging and non-judgmental. This cohort allowed me to Accept God's Forgiveness and Totally Changed me. I now have the tools to study, question those things I've heard and seek God's word for myself and seek His understanding of what He wants me to know in this moment. I've learned to allow myself patience. God has put the right people, in the right place, at the right time! I am doing the work - not because it's another task, or something else to add to my already full plate but because I can and get to!! Thanks Steve!

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…

I have been in church from the beginning of time, really grew up with it. I had a friend that I go to church with and she had taken the cohort and was just glowing. I would say it was a game changer for her just to hear her talk about her time in the Bible now and just how awesome this was. So when it became available, I signed up. I normally wouldn't have done that. But anyways, it was great. Steve was kind and knowledgeable and I think the coolest thing was just his excitement for the Word of God and just wanting to share that with everybody and to make it accessible to everybody. But he taught the cohort in a way that didn't make me feel stupid or lesser than. It was just super cool. I love reading my Bible now. And it was just a game changer. And I've already started telling people about it. I think that if I had had something like this back in the beginning of my walk or even before I was saved, I would say it would have been huge. The Bible just seems like this huge book and so scary if you don't know anything about it, really. And where do you start? I think that this cohort is good for anybody, wherever you are in your walk with the Lord, if you haven't started your walk with the Lord all the way to you've been doing this forever. I think it's super valuable. And I just thank Steve for taking the time out of his busy schedule to do it.

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…

After taking the cohort, our reading was made easier, more understanding and enjoyable,; it did take determination, study and perseverance in our reading the Bible. This webinar has been a reminder of what and how we need to continue our walk in the word. I find it helps me to use what I have learned and why we need to read this way. It has brought the Bible to life for both of us.

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 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.
