  • Bible Study: Genesis 1 - Genesis 30

    Welcome to the new Bible Study series! I have been very bad about my new year's resolution to read the bible from cover to cover, so this will be both educational and keep me accountable! Each week I will read a new chunk of the Bible, write down all my questions, research, and present them to you! I'd love for you to read along with me! 


    Next week we will cover Genesis 31 - Exodus 7. DM me any questions you have and I will be sure to answer them during the next episode!
