HER FAITH INSPIRES 147 : Not your typical women’s bible study with Sarah Rogers

 

Season: 9 Episode: 147

Summary:

Is there a wrong way to study the Bible? Many women desire a depth of theolgy and knowledge of God, but they don’t know how to get there. The concensus with many women’s ministries is shallow teaching that doesn’t get to the heart of most women’s hunger to go deeper with God. Sarah Rogers, a pastor’s wife and women’s minstry leader, is on the show to talk about the right and wrong way to study the Bible and why theology is for women too.

Question One

A lot of women struggle to read the Bible and from what I hear, it’s mostly because they haven’t been taught. Before we get into the “how” of Bible study, let’s talk about three common errors of study you see? 

Question Two

What’s the difference between reading the Bible and studying the Bible? (Let’s talk about devotionals here too).

Question Three

The Hebrew author talks about stages of growth in Hebrews 5:11-14 (I’ll read it all here). In fact, there was a lack of growth because they were still on what he called “milk and not solid food”. How does a lack of growth happen in a believer where they cannot handle the solid food of the Word? (If the is confusing, let me know and I can rephrase it). 

Question Four

Your husband, Matt, along with another pastor at the church, Donny, wrote a book on how to study the Bible called 7 Arrows: Aiming Bible readers in the right direction. Can you walk us through the 7 arrows and how to implement them in our Bible study? 

Question Five

What encouragement would you give women when it comes to deepening their theology? Many women are hungry for more depth in their pursuit of God but don’t know how to do it. We can also get impatient, or our exceptions of how our time with God should unfold isn’t realistic. What would you tell these ladies?
