Jen’s Online Study

Welcome to my Bible study!

Here’s where you’ll discover my notes as I experience God’s Word using the Digging into Scripture Ourselves (DISO) study method.

I hope my posts are helpful for you, but even more, I hope you’re inspired to study on your own. If there’s anything I can do to facilitate that, please contact me here or email me.
