Lifeway Christian Resources is releasing several new Bible studies for women this spring from seasoned teachers of God’s Word, including “Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight” by Jennifer Rothschild, “Live Free: A Study on Galatians” by Elizabeth Woodson and “Titus: Displaying the Gospel of Grace” by Courtney Doctor and Hunter Beless.
The Lifeway Women team says these studies are designed to be helpful resources for women from all walks of life as they dive deep into Scripture to learn about a variety of topics relevant to the Christian life. From analyzing the theological implications of heaven and its meaning for Christians today to understanding how the gospel frees those who are in Christ to walk wholeheartedly devoted to Him, Lifeway Women believes women have much to gain from these spring Bible study releases.
Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight
In this seven-week study, author and Bible teacher Jennifer Rothschild takes a deep look into the biblical view of heaven while tearing down cultural misconceptions of what heaven will be like. The study provides readers with a framework for heaven while also pointing to how heaven reminds us to “number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts” (Psalm 90:12, CSB).
Through this study, Rothschild seeks to bridge the gap between an abstract view of heaven and its present hope for believers today. The study includes a leader guide with discussion questions along with seven 25- to 30-minute video teaching sessions and six weeks of personal study.
“Over the course of this study, my hope is believers will gain a biblical understanding of heaven,” said Rothschild. “As we discover what the Bible says about our glorious unending, we will be fortified in the face of uncertainty, anchored in deep spiritual serenity and grounded in eternity.”
Live Free: A Study of Galatians
In this eight-session Bible study, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson explores how the gospel of Jesus Christ frees us from sin and calls us to walk in the abundant life He promises all Christians. The study is designed to help readers understand how Galatians fits into the overarching narrative of Scripture, what the epistle can teach readers about the intersection of faith and culture and how to identify false gospels as we step into our true freedom and identity in Christ. Elizabeth evaluates the false narratives Christians and culture are telling themselves and how to counteract that with the truth of the gospel.
“As you read Paul’s words, I hope you see his love for God’s people shine through, and I hope you are overwhelmed in all the best ways by God’s love for you and the intentionality of His plan of redemption,” said Woodson. “You are deeply loved by a God who, through Christ, overcame what you could not, restoring your relationship with Him so you can live free—both now and for eternity.”
The study includes a leader guide with discussion questions, eight 30-minute teaching videos and seven weeks of personal study along with charts, maps and bonus content for an enhanced Bible study experience.
Titus: Displaying the Gospel of Grace
In this eight-session Bible study on Titus, Courtney Doctor and Hunter Beless walk through each verse of Paul’s letter to his friend Titus, focusing on how the gospel transforms every aspect of life. The study explores how coupling right belief with right character is a profound testament to the gospel’s power to transform our lives, homes, churches and culture.
“If we want to become the kind of women who know this truth, believe it and live it out, the message of Titus is for us,” said Courtney Doctor, director of women’s initiatives at The Gospel Coalition. “If we want to become the kind of women who love sound teaching and faithfully pass it down to others, the message of Titus is for us. If we want to become women who display the gospel through godly character and good works, the message of Titus is for us.”
The study includes eight 25- to 30-minute teaching sessions, seven weeks of personal study and a leader guide with discussion questions. By diving into this study, women will explore how Titus sheds light on the differences between mentorship and discipleship, how discipleship should be practiced in the local church and the importance of studying Scripture in community.
“It’s our prayer that together, we will grow in the knowledge and understanding of the truth that leads to godliness,” said Beless, founder and host of the Journeywomen Podcast. “We hope the Lord uses our study of Titus to encourage us to know the gospel, believe the gospel and humbly display the gospel of God’s grace.”
