Bring Light into Your Life in All You Do
By making the decision to pursue God in your life, you
are choosing to strengthen the spiritual foundation of your home. And you are
intentionally pursuing a deeper understanding of God.
This means you’re putting a stake in the ground– that
you, your family, and your home, are creating a legacy. Your dwelling place is holy ground.
Taking the time to meditate on the scriptures helps us to
pause, breathe, and focus on Him.
We can take our new knowledge of understanding God's Word with us throughout our day, no matter what happens.
Pursue Spiritual Growth
You want to walk with Jesus, in the footsteps of faith, and be the best version of you for your family and loved ones. But pursuing a relationship with God isn’t always easy.
We usually don’t have a perfect ‘quiet hour’ to read the Bible each morning. Life gets busy and messy and our priorities get knocked sideways. And despite our best intentions, maybe we don’t have the dreamiest Pinterest-worthy doodles in our journals. Truthfully, you might only have ten minutes a day to yourself to crack open your Bible.
We’re here to say that it’s absolutely fine.
We’re not after perfection around here— the goal is to chase things that have an eternal impact. Like spiritual growth. Intentionality. Faithfulness. Sis, Jesus will handle the rest.
All we need to do is follow Him. That’s what Chasing Sacred is all about. And this journal will help you on your journey.
Chasing Sacred Together
Our resources at Chasing Sacred help you to focus your ‘quiet time’ so you can be fully present during your ‘quiet time’– soaking in the depths of God’s love.
We’re here to help you make the most of your time reading the Word. Whether you have hours to read, or just a few moments in between nap times– this Step Up Your Bible Study Journal will teach you how to study the scriptures for yourself.

Step Up Your Bible Study
Women's Inductive Bible Study Journal
The Step Up Your Bible Study Journal acts like a bridge. It provides a sturdy passageway for us to exit the shores of our current situation, cross over a rushing river of to-do lists and anxieties– and then step out onto the solid ground of His Truth.
We’ll walk you through the basics of how to read God’s Word in-depth by explaining the significance of Biblical genres, how to uncover contextual clues, as well as engaging in thought-provoking questions to strengthen your understanding of the text.
Study Like a Scholar
Broken down into a step-by-step process that’s simple, yet very rewarding, to follow– this Bible study journal will actually teach you exactly how to study God’s Word for yourself. Our goal is that you will be fully equipped to dive deep into any book of Scripture.
You’ll learn how to read the text in its original context, piecing together the clues about the culture and historical setting of that time.
From there, you’ll learn how to interpret your findings and draw your own conclusions. Finally, you’ll be able to take a step back and look at the text in its entirety. Now you can pray for discernment about how to best apply the Biblical lessons to your life.
This process is called Inductive Bible Study. It’s a method that’s actually taught at seminaries, helping us to interpret the Bible accurately and in-depth.
The Secrets of the Process
A deeper dive into the Inductive Bible Study steps:
Observe: Steep yourself by taking a look around the Biblical setting. Who was the author? What was happening during this time period? You’ll learn the tools of theologians uncovering the mysteries of the culture and context of the time.
Interpret: Take a deep dive into the waters of His living Word. Then, dive deeper still with questions like, What do these observations mean to the audience? What do they mean to me? Let your questions guide you into greater understanding of the text.
Apply: Let the Holy Spirit guide you into a richer relationship with God through His Word. Allow the truths of Scripture to sink deep into your heart and give you the strength to continue onward in this walk of faith.
The Step Up Your Bible Study Journal is perfect to study individually, or you can do it with friends! It’s intuitive enough for even brand-new Bible readers. It has brought our time in the Word to life, and we pray that it blesses you too.
