Many Christians attempt to read through the Bible in a year. When I asked my readers why they were unable to accomplish this goal, the answers fell in the same three categories: lack of consistency, lack of accountability, and lack of community.
Every Woman a Theologian exists to equip women and families to go deeper in their faith so they can effectively live as lights to the world. In an age of skepticism, we need to know Scripture well! And since being in Scripture is so vital to our growth and maturity, the discipline of daily study will always be worth our time.
There are many Bible reading plans you can follow (here are five!) but the missing element of structure and community makes it hard for some people to follow through. This new program offers not just the plan, but learning helps and the vibrant Every Woman a Theologian community to read alongside you for $15/mo.
So often we desire to read our Bibles and get the whole, big picture story... but we give up in Leviticus!
I want to see each member of this course FINISH STRONG, and I believe you can do it! All it takes is:
- consistency
- diligence
- community
- a desire to know God!
The Bible in your hands is hard-won. People died to translate it for you. They died transporting it across borders. They pored over its pages in secret, hiding it beneath floor boards and with their most treasured possessions. To them, reading the Bible was not a chore. It was an honor! And I think we need to embrace that attitude right at the beginning.
It's an honor to read the Bible. And that means we will make some sacrifices to prioritize it.
This course is particularly designed to provide the support and resources for you to complete the Bible in a year plan.
However, you must fully take advantage of what we provide! No amount of resources will make you complete your goal. You must know, internally, WHY this matters so much and devote yourself to making it happen. God will aid you in this - and He will give lots of grace for the process!
The goal of this course is to:
- Grant you a big picture view of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation
- Teach you how to engage with Scripture without perfectionism or hyper-detail
- Learn how to draw out theological principles, not just quick application
- Engage with a text even when short on time
- Become flexible in your bible reading and "graciously disciplined"
- Connect with other members of the EWAT community to stay accountable and discuss the text!
Are you ready? I hope so!

Frequently Asked Questions
I've been teaching the Bible for 10 years and leading Every Woman a Theologian for six. Though I have a degree in Christian Religion, I spend my days working with women who are not in ministry (and don't plan to be). This program is for every woman - not just seminarians! The Bible was not written for some people and not for others. It is accessible to EVERY person - and every woman! I can't wait to FINISH the Bible in a year with you in 2023!
Enrollment is currently closed and reopens in June.
