Question: What Else Do I Need?

If you're leading a group, or if your Internet connection isn't great for video streaming, you may like the option of having the DVD study to have at your disposal. *The DVD includes lifetime access to streaming video of all sessions.

Watch the Session One Workshop
(49 min)
The session one video with Anne is a workshop-style session and gives an overview of the study to prepare ourselves for the weeks to follow. It's 49 minutes long--the only video of that length, designed to prepare participants for the Bible study methods that will be used in sessions 2-8.
Watch the Session Two Video
(18 min)
The session two video is the first teaching video of the study. All of the videos to follow will be in this same format. Sessions 2-8 are shorter (average 15-20 minutes), and were all filmed on location at small chapels in North Carolina. Enjoy!

Questions and Answers
-
Where do I sign up for the Facebook private group? What's that all about?We get started in March – watch your email for the official invite! The group is optional for people who want more daily interaction and community. Be sure to read the community rules and remember to keep conversations on topic with no soliciting. We’d love to have you be a part of this group!
-
What other ways can we engage with the online participants?
As you watch each video, you’ll have the opportunity to comment on the video and see what others are saying. You can stick around after the video to answer a few discussion questions, too! We also love to encourage you to start conversations within the Facebook group to start topical discussions with other participants who are studying along with you.
-
Can I buy the DVDs and watch the videos that way?
Yes! You can buy the DVD in the FaithGateway store (it’s on sale at 30% off!) to have a copy of your own. You can also buy a combo pack that includes the DVD and the companion study guide.
-
I don't live in the USA and want to do this Bible study. How can I obtain the materials please?
Anyone with Internet access can watch the videos for FREE week by week, and follow along with our weekly emails. For the companion book, we recommend checking with your local Christian bookstore or online retailer (like Amazon Canada or Amazon UK).
-
I'm already part of a small group at church. How can we do this study with you?
All of the online activities associated with this study are optional. You can still structure your group like a traditional Bible study using the free downloads we’ve provided and the study materials in the book. Feel free to follow our study calendar and meet every week or set up your own schedule and go at your group’s pace
-
What communication can I expect to receive? I don't want to be inundated with emails.
After sign up you’ll receive an email a week as you’re going through the study. We’ll keep you updated on the assigned reading for the week and where to watch your companion videos. With your registration you will also start to receive the weekly FaithGateway Bible Study newsletter. You can unsubscribe from any of these at any time.
-
Is this something I could do via Skype? I am looking for a study to do with my friends , but we are in different cities.
Absolutely! The weekly videos will be available online so you could get on Skype (or Google Hangouts, iChat, or whatever), watch them at the same time, then talk and process through the questions and each week’s reading together. We love this idea! What an awesome way to bond with friends across the miles.
-
Is this online Bible study just for women?
Everyone and anyone is welcome to join the online Bible study. The Scriptural truths and study of God’s Word are for everyone.
