Teaching the Word of God has always been a passion of mine. I love helping others grow deeper in their faith. When I began seminary in 2010, I went with the purpose of learning to write Bible Study materials and was able to tailor a degree for curriculum design. Since graduating in 2012, I have had little opportunity to use the skills I learned.
Over the past six months, I have been had an increasing desire to write and share Bible studies with others. I have begun doing so with my church, and would like to share with you, my readers, as well.
So, beginning next Monday, January 9, I will be hosting my first online Bible Study for the StephanieAdele.com community. We will begin with Paul’s letter to Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. Each Monday I will post a week’s worth of study materials. I will also be posting updates throughout the week on Instagram and my Facebook page.
Format for the Online Bible Study:
- Daily Scripture readings, Monday through Friday
- Daily question for further thought
- Background information about Paul and the recipients of the letters
- Themes and circumstances of the letters
As we begin the study, I value your feedback in improving the materials provided so that they are beneficial to you and allow you to grow deeper in understanding the Scriptures.
Below is the reading schedule we will be following for this first study. The study will run for seven weeks and will end the week before Lent begins.

I am so excited about this new online opportunity! I hope you will join with me in studying God’s Word. I hope this will become a staple of this website. I have so many thoughts and ideas on how to expand these studies (as I become more technologically savvy).
Tomorrow, I will begin the “Goals” series that serves as this month’s theme. This year, I am posting a mini-series on a different theme each month. This is the monthly theme schedule planned as of right now:
I am excited about this new year and all the possibilities! I hope you’ll join me as we seek to better know God and ourselves.
