Some truths can only be understood in community.
The 13-Week Study Guide is for groups — small groups, churches, workplace teams, friends — who want to walk through The Precious Gift together. Each week is structured to move you from encounter to understanding to practice: head, heart, hands.
Week by week, you'll trace the same story the book follows — the woman at Simon's table, the path from shame to Shalom — but this time with others holding the mirror alongside you.
Facilitators receive full training and support. You don't need to be a Bible scholar. You need to be willing to show up.
WEEKS 1–4
Meeting the text. Meeting yourself. Meeting the woman who walked into a room where no one wanted her.
WEEKS 5–9
Going deeper. Shame in the body. The silence that confirmed it. The moment he saw her. Forgiveness.
WEEKS 10–13
Living it. The gift hidden in the wound. The name you're becoming. Building your own table.
Opening reading and discussion questions that ground the group in the week's chapter.
Guided reflection exercises where the group shares honestly. Not Bible study. Life study.
A weekly practice that costs you something. Take the truth from the table into the world.
You don't need to be a theologian. You need to be someone who's willing to hold space for honesty.
