Seven-Step Bible Study Rhythm | The Wolfe Notes

 As I approached the end of Mark, I knew I needed a new Bible study rhythm. So, I created my own approach; so far, it is working well for me. I broke the text into smaller sections so I can lean in longer. 

If you are trying out my seven-step process, please know I do not force myself to complete all seven steps every day. I allow myself to stop when I feel like I've had enough or when life happens. My goal is more about meeting with God every day then completing all seven steps. 

This rhythm is more about reflection than research, which I am also finding refreshing. I don't need to know all the answers; I just want to get to know God better by reflecting on what He says. I invite you to lean in with me. Let's grow together!

Use these steps to find your own rhythm. Some days, I do all seven steps. Some days, I do just one. With my nephew, we do steps 1 and 3. 

If you are looking for suggested passages, we do offer a monthly calendar with Bible study options. You'll find links to all of our calendars at the JOY for Today page and all of my Bible study notes are located on the Faith Food page.

I hope you find a rhythm that works for you. I hope you realize that meeting with God does not need to be time-consuming or burdensome. More than anything, I pray that you find yourself anticipating your time together with with Him, and that you find yourself transformed by it.

Growing with you,
Elizabeth of

  1. 12th Step Prayer AAJuly 26, 2026

    1. One of the most inspiring messages of the 12th Step Prayer AA is the importance of giving back without expecting anything in return. It teaches that true recovery continues through acts of service, humility, and love for others. By practicing these principles in everyday life, we strengthen our own spiritual foundation while encouraging others to believe that lasting change and hope are always possible through faith and perseverance.

The Ruins of Gorlan | A Wolfe Stew Review

Image
Welcome into the world created by John Flanagan in The Ruins of Gorlan .   The first of ten novels in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, not including the three prequels,  The Ruins of Gorlan vividly immerses readers into a world filled with adventure, fantasy, courage, and mystery.   And, after many years of hearing the Mr. recommending it to anyone and everyone who would listen, I finally got around to reading it.  Believe me, it did not disappoint.   In fact, the second read through with my nephew is proving even more enjoyable.   We’ve decided he is clearly Will and I've told him he can call me Halt.  Although he objects because, “You’re a girl!"    But someone must force him to think things through, have accurate answers and above all be honest!  It might as well be Halt if it can’t be Aunt E.   Anyway, the  entire Wolfe Stew household is excited to see it on the big screen! That’s right folks.   You heard...
