My former bible study leader, Sarina Stokes, joins me to convince everyone to join a bible study. We discuss the value of both praying with scripture on your own and studying it as a group.

If you're a college student wanting to get involved in bible study, you can go to your Newman Center's website, find the tab for FOCUS (or a similar organization) and get more information there.

Here's the link for UNL: https://huskercatholic.com/focus

OR it could be just as simple as walking into your Newman Center and asking the front desk how to get involved in a bible study. They will be overjoyed to get your number and pass it along to a b stud leader, trust me ;)
