Women of the Word Recap {Week 1}
Is meal planning a struggle? I'm so excited to announce... The CHK Seasonal Meal Planner is now available!!! Plan your meals with purpose and intention as you think through special days, holidays, and what each season uniquely offers. It will guide you, step-by-step, through planning each month allowing you to save time and money. Did you miss the first Women of the Word Book Club Meeting? Not to worry! We recorded the session!
Join Leigh Ann and me, your hosts, on Blab for some afternoon fun and discussion about one of our favorite things – God’s Word!
We will be using Jen Wilkin’s book, Women of the Word, as our discussion guide. In her book, Jen walks us through how to study God’s word for ourselves. Get all the details about the study here.
Did you miss this week’s live discussion?
Fear not, click on the link below to watch the entire recording. If you have any questions or ideas you want to share that you weren’t able to post in the interactive comments during the Blab, leave them below in the comments here on the blog and I will personally answer each and every one of them.
Highlights and Important Notes
In this Women of the Word Book Club You’ll Hear:
- The goal of the book club
- Our “church pedigree” and how it’s affected our approach to Bible study
- Must have Bible study tools
- Additional Bible study tool suggestions
- Our experiences with false or poor teaching
- The comfort level we feel when interpreting the Bible for ourselves
- The obstacles we have to overcome in our current season of life in order to be more consistent with Bible study
- Encouragement for pregnant mamas and moms of young children
- How big of a blooper I am when it comes to technology!
- And why we are thankful for my husband for helping us figure out how to turn off the blab!
You’ll want to make it all the way to the end where Leigh Ann and I start giggling uncontrollably… just for the record, being a blogger doesn’t mean we are technology experts! 😉

We have made the replay available on YouTube because some of you expressed that you did not want to get a Twitter account which is currently the only way you can use Blab.
We will be uploading the replays each week, so subscribing to Leigh Ann’s YouTube channel will ensure you get a notification the minute it’s live. This means you can watch the replay Tuesday night after work or when the kids are in bed instead of waiting until this post goes live. 🙂

The Discussion Guide
Though simply reading the book is enough, if you want to be able to think through the discussion questions before hand, we are using Crossway’s Study Guide for our discussion guide.
You can download a PDF copy of the discussion questions here.
Don’t have a book yet?
There is still plenty of time to grab one. Check Amazon, your local library or favorite bookstore. Women of the Word is available in both paperback and on Kindle.
What important lessons and truths stuck out to you from this week’s reading and discussion?
Victoria, I would like to see you take a more active part in the Women’s Book Club. I haven’t read through your blog yet, but the Book Club last week focused too much on the trials of motherhood and pregnancy. As someone who is past that season of life, I know how challenging it can be to be pregnant or raising children and working too. Please put the focus on Jesus and all seasons of life. This will make it pertinent to more subscribers. Thank you and many blessings.
Hi Catherine, thanks for the feedback. The first session was a learning curb for me as we figured out how to use the new platform. We will actually be rotating who leads the discussion each week to allow us each to give our own unique voices. This past week was mainly an introduction, both to ourselves and to the book. We generally won’t be talking that much about our own particular situations. Starting next week we will be diving into the book, chapters 1 and 2. This study isn’t geared towards any one season of life, Jen’s teaching of how to study the Bible is very applicable to all seasons.
I wrote the Duttons with concerns about the book club and did not hear back. I am going to unsubscribe. I do not feel that this the all season of life friendly. Good luck and blessings.
