Scripture•Observation•Application•Prayer✝️
I’ve seen other people struggling with studying/note taking on their own, girl me too.
Recently I’ve come across the SOAP method, and it’s working for me. I downloaded some apps; Bible Chat, and Filament app(filament app comes with a Bible, you could use the basic Bible app) I’m using a reading plan from the filament app, with the study guide and asking questions on the Bible chat app. This has helped me so much. Now I can do my own studies in between listening to TheChristianBae podcast (if you don’t know, you need to..thank me later;)
You don’t have to be aesthetic, I know I’m really not😂 just show up & do what you can.
I love you & so does Jesus❤️❤️✝️💋

The SOAP method, which stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer, is a powerful approach to personal Bible study. By breaking down your study into these four components, you can improve not only your understanding of the text but also your personal application and connection with scripture. In the observation phase, take time to reflect on the context of the verses you are studying. Ask questions about the text: Who is speaking? What is the message? What is the historical context? This deep dive helps in uncovering meanings that may not be immediately apparent. Use apps like the Filament Bible app, which offers a reading plan alongside a study guide, making observation straightforward and comprehensive. During the application phase, think about how the passage speaks to you personally. Are there lessons to be learned? How can the teachings be applied in your daily life? This personalization transforms mere reading into an experience that impacts your life. Finally, prayer is essential. It allows for reflection and requests help to implement the changes you’ve observed and applied from the scripture. The use of community apps like Bible Chat can provide accountability and learning, as you share insights with others and seek guidance together. Remember, the goal isn't just to study the Bible but to build a stronger relationship with God.
