Lenten Book Study: Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans
This Lent, we invite you to step into a thoughtful, engaging, and hope-filled journey through Scripture as we explore Rachel Held Evans’ beloved book Inspired. In this four‑week study, we’ll look at how the stories of the Bible continue to shape, challenge, and encourage us today—especially as we walk through a season meant for reflection, renewal, and deeper faith.
Together, we’ll consider how ancient narratives speak into our modern questions, doubts, joys, fears, and experiences. Evans’ writing offers both comfort and a gentle push toward curiosity, helping us rediscover the Bible not as a book to be mastered, but as a living, breathing source of wisdom that invites us into conversation with God.
Over our four weeks together, we’ll…
- explore fresh and transformative ways of engaging Scripture,
- share meaningful conversations in community,
- deepen our spiritual practices during Lent, and
- support one another as we reflect on where God is moving in our lives.
Whether you’ve read the Bible your whole life or you’re just beginning to approach it with new eyes, this group offers a welcoming space for honesty, exploration, and growth. All are invited—bring your questions, your stories, and your openness to discovering something new.
Books will be available for purchase ($10) from Pastor Rushan or through the Church Office. If you’d like us to reserve a copy for you, just let us know!
We will meet in the Rewick Board Room on Tuesday evenings (February 24, March 3, 10 and 17) 6 PM – 7:30 PM and Thursday mornings (February 19 and 26, March 12 and 19) 10:30 AM – 12 PM.
Come when you can to either the morning OR evening session each week!
