Digging Deep Pricing for 2025-26…

Can you even believe it?! We are just 11 days out from the topic announcement for Digging Deep 2025-26!  It’s surreal to me that the Conversations study is winding down. I’ve had so many epiphanies from Scripture this time around  and a part of me wants this one to go on a little longer. It was just so straight-from-the-mouth-of-God. It wasn’t only the epiphanies; it was the correction, too. I know I am better (though not having arrived) for the study!

Because some of you are asking,  especially Branson PTP attendees, I want to go ahead and give you the price breakdown for this year’s materials. It’s as follows: 

Digging Deep download is free as always. (No one has to pay to do Digging Deep.) The download will be available on July 19th when the other materials go live. 

Digging Deep Deluxe Study guide will be $21.00. 

Digging Deep 2025-26 T shirts will be $21.00.

Digging Deep 2025-26 Hoodies will be $38.00.

First-time-ever Digging Deep Cardigan will be $42.00. (This cardigan is something I have personally wanted for dressier wear.) I only ordered a limited number and only in sizes Medium to 2X. They are not year-specific. They will say Digging Deep on the top-left chest in a pretty font that will be khaki color on black. The cardigan is black. You can see the font at the top of this post.) I’ll post a photo as soon as I get these in. The brand is Port Authority. These cardigans will be at Branson, as well. We may consider more and other sizes if this is something you want. 

Digging Deep 2025-26 book and t-shirt bundle will be $38.00. 

If ordering six or more Deluxe Study Guides, the books will be $19.25 each.

Most importantly, be inviting! This little group in West Tennessee has done that. One group, meeting in the home of Maxine Knoll, has spawned at least four groups—working on five—in three states. No kidding! I traveled over there to be with these ladies on a Saturday and the encouragement was palpable and comforting. Photo is their recap bulletin board after our day together. 

This year there were baptisms with some obvious Digging Deep connections. The gospel is the power to salvation and DD is full of that gospel. There were grieving people who found amazing comfort with sisters when in the Word together. There were lots of zoom classes that transcended geography barriers—some across oceans. 

Your invitation may be forgotten soon by some. On the other hand, it may be remembered around the throne by another. That “another” is what keeps us diligent. It’s worth any little mental anxiety, physical extra-mile, or financial investment.

It’s August! 1-2-3 Go!…1-2-3 Things

  1. It’s August. There’s one simple challenge in the Digging Deep Study for the month of August. Find someone who may be interested in a Bible study, engage her in conversation and ask her if she would like to study with you. It can be anybody…a sister in the Lord, a co-worker, a neighbor. I’m just hoping we can all begin to feel comfortable saying the words “Would you like to study the Bible with me?” I have several friends who have become very adept at saying this and it’s making a huge difference. They are bringing souls to the Lord. Often, that’s making a generational difference in families and it’s for sure making an eternal difference. This part is optional, but I would love to hear about these studies. I would love to be encouraged. It would give our Digging Deep study a shot in the arm as we launch the study for our new year beginning in September. Be sure to come to the “unveiling” of the new Digging Deep study at Polishing the Pulpit or catch it here on the blog at the end of August. I’m excited about the theme and the direction of the new study. All of the study development is still rolling around in the small space that’s my mind, so I would love to have your input.
  2. This Saturday, I will be speaking at Woodson Chapel in Nashville for their annual Girl’s Day. The topic is “Hidden in Christ”. If you are in that area, I would love to see you there. I’m impressed with the line-up of classes and activities, as well as our chance to be together for the keynote. I’m excited. Be sure to let them know if you are coming, though.

  3. Have you ever gotten frustrated because you got a bill in the mail and then gotten angry at the postman for bringing it? Have you ever gotten mad at the cat and kicked the dog? Have you ever had a bad day at work and taken it our on your spouse when you got home? Do you get mad at the mechanic because you burned up your transmission? Sometimes we spew forth venom about what’s grinding our gears on the wrong folks. Sometimes we’re not really mad at the one who voiced a truth. Sometimes we’re really angry at the truth itself.
