Wk. 0: Introduction & Preparation for the Trail

Welcome to the newest Bible study from Kimberly Constant Ministries! This content will be presented in “real time” as it unfolds and later archived for future use/reference. Even if you’ve studied with us in the past, please continue reading for guidance on how to begin this course.

First, please note that we offer our content free of charge in the hopes that all people might have access to a deeper study of God’s word. If you would like to donate to Kimberly Constant Ministries you may do so (there is a tab on the home page of our website). Any and all donations are appreciated to help offset the cost of this ministry and to support me as this ministry is my full-time job! But, please, please do not feel like you have to donate.

We also warmly invite you to download, print, share, and adapt these materials for personal use, small groups, or church communities, free of charge. However, you must give appropriate credit to the author, provide a link to the original work, and indicate if changes were made. Under no circumstances may this material—or any works derived from it—be used for commercial purposes, sold, or included in monetized teaching curricula without express written permission from the author.

As you embark on this study, you will need to gather the following supplies: a Bible — any translation/version will work (I HIGHLY suggest finding an audible version to listen to as you read), and a notebook or journal (optional — you might also wish to print our weekly study guides and use that to record your insights).

On the weekly study page on this website I will provide links to our readings on Bible Gateway which offers written and audio versions of Scripture in multiple translations. A weekly PDF study guide will offer the relevant weekly readings, prompts for reflection or journaling, and discussion questions to use in the cohort of your choice (one of our zoom groups, your own small group, or with a friend). I’ve given you space in the PDF to record your insights so feel free to print them for your personal use. In addition, I will link recordings from our weekly discussion groups. For those who are registered for the zoom groups, I will provide the password to access these (you must be registered to receive this password). Finally, I will link our weekly worship service which will correspond with the week’s study material.

You are MORE than welcome to join one of our two zoom discussion groups at any time. Registration never closes. You can find the registration form HERE. I also invite you to join us for worship in real time Friday mornings at 9:15 AM Eastern or later via the recordings housed HERE or on my YouTube Channel. Please note that registration is not required to access the study material. However, if you want to be informed of any changes or delays in contents I suggest registering (or having at least one person from your small group) register as I will send out email notifications as needed.

For more information see the below. Note that recordings will be posted within 24 hours of our meetings/worship service unless otherwise indicated. All study materials will be accessible upon the release of each weekly module.
