Is There Room For One More At The Table with Lisa Jo Baker
Have you
ever wondered what would it take to be included? How can you make friends in new
surroundings? How can you take the
courage to reach out to other women? I
have and so I participated in Lifeway’s online bible study We Saved You a Seat by Lisa-Jo Baker. This bible study is
for both women and teens.
For me it
has been a struggle to find friends since I moved to Georgia. While I have some great friends that I see
from time to time Lynn, April, and Dawn.
I don’t really have people that I see on a regular basis. This study appealed to me for possibly making
a change that might bring more people into my life, and give me a chance to
bless others.
Here are the
supplies needed for this study. You will
need the study guide for We Saved You a Seat, the DVDs or digital downloads,
and last but not least a group of friends to share it with. Of course don’t
forget your bible. Choose the meeting
format that works best for you. Don’t
forget to plan something fun!
The video
sessions begin with Lisa-Jo and one her friends introducing the topic for
discussion. The next segment is the
group of ladies sitting together and discussing the topic. Lisa-Jo Baker is the
leader of the discussion. They tackle
various subjects on friendship such as:
forgiveness, loving your friend, and reaching out to others. There is no fill in the blank, but there are
discussion questions for the leader to use in the meeting with the group.
The homework
sections are very short. The format for
the week is three days of homework, and a challenge for the fourth day. This format should be familiar to those who
have participated in other Lifeway bible studies. Once you have reached the challenge of the week
groups can decide how they would like to proceed.
My
Thoughts:
I enjoyed
this study. It was different than many of the other studies that I have participated
in the past. Lisa-Jo Baker has a
different teaching style but it worked for what the focus of the study is. It
really made me think about relationships and how to get more plugged in with
other women. I was not a huge fan of the
group discussions. I think a teacher who teaches individually works better for
me. I still feel this was a great
study. I highly recommend it. The thought I will leave you with is how are
you going to step out in faith today?
