For the woman who wants to keep studying


Hey Reader,

A quick note before I begin: this particular email is for the ladies. For the men reading… thank you for being here. Something special for you is coming very soon. Be on the lookout.

Reader, whether you've been in the Thessalonians series with us or you're coming to this fresh, I have an invitation for you. As we close our time in Thessalonians, I keep thinking about what happens after a study ends.

Because the goal was never just to finish the videos.

The goal was to become women who know how to stay in the Word with understanding.

So I want to invite you into something…

In December, in Abide Inner Circle, we started a study of the twelve tribes of Israel. We are reading the book, Literarily, together alongside it. Seven tribes remain.

There is still time to come in.

Abide Inner Circle is a private Bible study space for women who are ready to move beyond simply reading the Word and begin studying it with more clarity, depth, and consistency. We are a sisterhood of women ready to slow down with Scripture, ask better questions, look at context, and keep learning how the Word connects from Genesis to Revelation… no matter the season.

Inside Abide, we keep going as students of the Word.

We are not a group of women pretending to know everything, and we are not waiting until we feel qualified. We are sisters who show up willing to learn.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When you join Abide Inner Circle, you'll receive:

  • Two Gatherings each month — live Bible study sessions with Rachel
  • Two exclusive podcast-style teaching conversations each month
  • Monthly companion study resources
  • Weekly Deeper Roots posts
  • A private sisterhood of women who are serious about going deeper
  • Early access to select Word & Seed resources

And during this invitation window, you'll also receive two free gifts:

  • Bible Study Blueprint — a foundational resource for women who want to read the Bible consistently, but have never been given a real method for approaching it. This resource provides a practical way in, so you never feel lost or unsure of how to start on the pages of your Bible.
  • I Can't Come Down — a resource you won’t find anywhere else, that walks you through the first six chapters of Nehemiah, helping you understand the difference between purpose and assignment. And helping you get clarity on what God is actually asking you to do with everything you’re learning.

Right now, Abide is $25/month.

That founding member rate will be moving to $30/month after May 15.

Annual membership is also available at 25% off; $225 instead of $300, this week only.

You may also notice there is no Weekend in the Word in your inbox this Friday. I stepped back from it this week to make space for this invitation. It will be back in two weeks.

If you know you are ready to keep studying with us, join here: wordandseed.com/community

Come be a student of the Word.

Remember, time with God is time you will never regret spending.

With you in the Word,

Reader, I’ve been pondering a simple question this week: How do we return when life has crowded out the space we once guarded for God? Not because we stopped loving Him, but because life got loud, rhythms got disrupted, and before we knew it, what once felt protected began to feel crowded. And maybe the deeper question underneath that is this: How do we slow down enough to sit in surrender? I think it begins by recognizing that sometimes the greatest noise is not around us, but within us. The...

Hey Reader, If you’ve been thinking about joining the Thessalonians Challenge, this is your reminder that it’s not too late to begin. You can still jump in and catch up in just one week. Each step is simple and intentional. Read the chapter, watch the teachings, and then use the study guide to go deeper and reflect on what God is revealing to you. It’s not about rushing through, but about creating space to truly engage with His Word.We’re currently walking through 1 Thessalonians 5: The Need...

Hey Reader, If you’ve been around for a while, you may remember me talking about the difference between purpose and assignment. It’s something that’s been on my heart for a long time. And lately, it’s been coming back up again, so I want to sit with you in it for a bit today. I’ve always defined purpose as fulfilling the Great Commission—making disciples, telling people the truth about who Jesus is, and bringing souls to Christ. That part is the same for all of us. No matter your role, your...
