FAQs

What do I need to facilitate a Bible study?

You will need a Leader Guide, which includes step-by-step instructions to guide your group.  This guide includes six months of free video streaming of the study, but if you do not want to utilize the streaming, you can also purchase the DVD set. Your participants will each need a Participant Guide.  

In addition, we have the following resources available: 

  • To promote the study, you can download the study marketing assets.
  • Several of our studies have companion book(s) on which the study is based. This is recommended reading, though it is not essential to the study. 
Can I facilitate a study without a Leader Guide?

That is up to you. The Leader Guide is designed to make facilitating the study easier.

Which study should I begin with?

Journey through Scripture studies can be done in any order. That being said, here is a suggested flow for these studies: 

  • Genesis to Jesus: This study gives the participant the “lens” to read and interpret Scripture, through the Heart of the Church. An excellent place to start!
  • Bible and the Sacraments: This is ideal for RCIA especially when going over the sacraments of initiation. This can also be good for youth group/Confirmation classes.
  • Parousia: The Bible and the Mass: This study goes deeper into where the Mass is found in Scripture using the pre-figurements from the Old Testament, most of which are covered in “Genesis to Jesus.”
  • Bible and the Virgin Mary: During the month of May or October, the month of the Rosary, many groups do this study, especially if you have a rosary group or Legion of Mary hosting.
  • Holy is His Name: Our most recent study, which guides participants on a journey to better understand the meaning of holiness – the holiness of God and the holiness to which we are all called.
  • Bible and the Church Fathers: A good capstone study, showing how the Church learned to read and interpret Scripture as shown in “Genesis to Jesus” and other studies. 
Who is the main presenter of each study?
  • Bible and the Sacraments, Bible and the Virgin Mary, Bible and the Church Fathers, Genesis to Jesus are presented by Matthew Leonard.
  • Holy is His Name, Parousia, Eucharist in Scripture are presented by Dr. Scott Hahn.
