BEHOLD’S Swedish Study Method
If written Bible studies aren't your thing, or you'd rather dig into Scripture with just the Holy Spirit, your Bible, and a couple of easily memorized questions, this is the Method for you.
The Swedish Study Method was started by a woman discipling college aged Swedish students, hence the name. With this method, her students were soon discipling others with these same questions.
What to Look for In a Bible Study
I’m constantly being messaged about what to look for in a Bible study.
“Hey Meg, have you heard anything about this new Bible study author?”
“Do you know of any Bible studies on anxiety?”
“Are there any Bible studies I need to avoid?”
I love getting questions like this. And I generally have answers to these questions.

How Can I Understand the Bible?
How can we understand the Bible? Books of the Bible are written for specific audiences. And it’s pretty slim that you fit into that original audience.

If we don’t understand who the author was, where they were from, or who they were writing to, we won’t understand the main depth of the message.
