I’m always on the lookout for ways for more women to access sound Bible study groups, especially Digging Deep. In the fifteen years we’ve been digging together, we’ve added study books, free downloads, interactive video podcasting, audio podcasting, hundreds of Digging Deep blog entries, hundreds of groups, Spanish translations, transcripts of podcasts, multiple advertising items and venues, and sessions and luncheons at various seminars and conventions. It’s been a blessed ride and I constantly learn from all of you.
Recently, at a ladies day in Columbia, South Carolina, I met Sarah King, and was blessed by her idea. Young moms who want to study along in her area of Seneca, SC, have decided to utilize Google Meetings for their gathering, and they are meeting, on a specified monthly evening at 9 pm.
I love this idea! Their kids are in bed and these moms are right there with them, in case the toddler has a bad dream or the baby gets hungry. Nursing moms can turn off their cameras, and, in the case of utter chaos, which can occasionally occur, even after bedtime, mamas can mute themselves, until relative calm returns.
Thanks for sharing, Sarah. It’s a simple idea, but what a great one! The nine o’clock hour may be the very best hour of those Digging days for these blessed children whose mamas are a few feet away, studying together the Word that transforms lives and builds secure homes. Those secure homes, in turn, are foundational to the future spiritual success of those sleeping babies!
It’s not too late (at night or in your life) to start digging!
