What is S.O.A.P.?

S.O.A.P. is a way of reading, journaling, and opening up communication with God. We hope that through reading scripture and through community engagement that you will be encouraged to S.O.A.P. too! As a community, we hope that we will be a space of accountability for you. So choose what is right for you. If you're new to reading God's word, or journaling, try 3 days a week. We'll have a fresh S.O.A.P. here for you Monday-Friday. Check out our reading plan below. Whatever you choose, let it be a space to inspire and grow you, never belittle or condemn. Welcome to the family and we know that you'll enjoy the ride.

"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."

Hebrews 4:12

S.O.A.P.

Scripture

As you read write out the verse (s) that stick out to you most.

Observation

What truth can you learn? Are there any warnings? Principles? Commands? What is the overall message of the verse?

Application

How does this verse apply to your life today? How can you live differently in light of this truth?

Prayer

Turn these thoughts into prayer. Ask the Lord to show you how to meditate on and apply the scripture to your life.

Do you want revelation in your life?

SOAP scripture journaling does just that, it invites revelation. Reading the Bible this way allows the voice of God to speak in ways that you never fathomed possible.We believe we're supposed to grow. We haven't reached the mark yet, so we stretch together. We're confident the best way to encourage growth is to hear the voice of God.

Let's dig into His word together.
