The Bible study method that actually works 🤍

Good Sunday morning, friend 🌅

SAVE THIS method for your morning quiet time.

If you've been wanting to GO DEEPER in your

Bible study but don't know where to start —

try this method this morning:

✦ S — SCRIPTURE: Write the verse out.

✦ O — OBSERVATION: What do you notice?

✦ A — APPLICATION: How does it apply?

✦ P — PRAYER: Pray it back to Him.

I've been using this for years and it turns

"reading the Bible" into actually HEARING

from Him 🤍

What verse are you sitting with today? 👇

The SOAP Bible study method offers a simple yet profound way to engage with Scripture daily. I've personally found that beginning with the 'Scripture' step, where you write out the verse, helps me focus my mind and remember the passage throughout the day. Moving on to 'Observation,' I take time to ask questions like: What stands out? Are there any repeated words or themes? This practice deepens my understanding beyond surface reading. 'Application' is where the study becomes deeply personal. By reflecting on how the verse applies to my current life situation, I am able to find practical steps for growth or encouragement. Lastly, 'Prayer' ties everything together—praying the verse back to God feels like a meaningful conversation, reinforcing the Scripture’s impact. In my experience, the SOAP method transforms reading the Bible into truly hearing from God. It turns routine into an interactive practice that feels alive and relevant every morning. Whether you are new to Bible study or seeking a structured way to go deeper, SOAP creates a purposeful rhythm for spiritual growth. Try dedicating just 10 minutes using SOAP during your morning quiet time—you might be surprised how this approach deepens your connection with Scripture and enhances your daily walk of faith.
