Saintly Inspirations: St. Joseph
Why it works for your Ministry
Relatable, not remote: Joseph’s virtues are applied to real life—family, work, identity, purpose.
Doable format: Chapters can be completed in under an hour; prompts drive meaningful conversation.
Action-oriented: Every chapter ends with next steps, so growth continues beyond the meeting.
How to use it in a Bible Study (7 weeks)
Open (5 min): Scripture verse + brief leader intro.
Read (10–12 min): Chapter narrative (quietly or out loud).
Discuss (25–30 min): Guided questions connect Scripture, Joseph’s life, and today’s challenges.
Apply (10 min): “Next Steps” call to action—personal, family, or community practice.
Pray (3–5 min): Chapter prayer prompt (with optional journaling at home).
