A word from Brandi before we dive in...
The woman in the Bible who resonates most with me right now?
The Samaritan woman at the well.
​
She was curious. She asked questions. She had a past that wasn't perfect. And yet — she encountered Jesus and was completely transformed.
​
I see myself in her. I ask a lot of questions because I truly want to understand. I've made mistakes. I've had seasons I'm not proud of. But I am so grateful for the grace of Jesus and the living water He offers.
​
What moves me most is what she did after that encounter. She didn't stay silent. She went back and told others.
​
That's my heart. I want women to know about the goodness of Christ. I want you to know that your past does not disqualify you from purpose — it positions you for testimony.
​
That's why every study we do starts with a woman in the Word. Because when we look closely at her story — we almost always find our own.

The Woman at the Well
Scripture: John 4; 1-30; 39-42
The Lesson
This study explored the powerful story of the Samaritan woman at the well. What started as a simple conversation at a well became a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
A little background:
Jews and Samaritans avoided each other because of deep cultural and religious divisions. Yet Jesus intentionally traveled through Samaria and spoke directly to a Samaritan woman—something that broke multiple social barriers of the time. In doing so, He showed that His love, truth, and salvation are for everyone. At the well, Jesus offered her something greater than water drawn from the ground. He offered “living water”—the eternal life, renewal, and satisfaction that only He can give. He saw her past, knew her story, and still invited her into transformation.
​
The Activity
To close our study, we decorated planters for our flowers to symbolize Jesus as our Living Water. Just like flowers need water to grow, our hearts grow and flourish when we stay connected to Christ. This simple reminder will hopefully encourage us daily: When we let Jesus fill us, our lives grow, bloom, and pour life into others.

Ruth
Scripture: Ruth 1–4
The Lesson
This study explored how fear often grows when life doesn't turn out the way we expected. It can make us feel alone and convince us that our best days are behind us. But faith calls us to step forward without guarantees, choosing trust over comfort. Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions — it requires humility, action, and patience. Our waiting seasons are not wasted; they are growth seasons. God's timing protects us from what we cannot see and reveals where our true trust lies.
​
The Activity
In celebration of Christmas, we decorated personal ornaments and wrote down our current struggles and uncertainties that we wanted to surrender to God before the new year. These notes were placed inside the ornaments and hung on our "Tree of Faith," followed by a group prayer, symbolizing our trust in God's timing and provision.

​Rachel & Leah
Scripture: Genesis 29; 30:1–24; 35:16–18
The Lesson
This lesson focused on the truth that our value comes from God, not from people or comparison. Whether we identify more with Leah, who felt overlooked, or Rachel, who felt empty despite being loved, our identity is secure in God alone. Even when others — or even we ourselves — fail to see our worth, God never does. When we enter His presence, we are reminded that He hears us and sees us fully.
​
The Activity
As a creative keepsake, we decorated mannequin heads as visual expressions of our unique identities. This activity helped us reflect on how comparison can distract us from honoring our own God-given journey, and encouraged us to celebrate the individual story God is writing in each of our lives.

The Woman Who Bled for 12 Years
Scripture: Mark 5:25–34
The Lesson
This study reminded us that while healing may not always come in the way we expect, we are always loved, seen, and known by God. Like the woman in this passage, we are invited not to let our pain keep us from prayer or from reaching for Jesus. We are His daughters — accepted, valued, and deeply loved. Through His love and our faith-filled prayers, we find peace even in the midst of struggle.
​
The Activity
We broke into small groups to discuss how the woman experienced suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Participants then wrote a "modern-day" prayer as if the woman were living in 2025, adding their own personal perspective. The session ended with reflection time, where we colored a keepsake image of the woman touching Jesus' cloak as a reminder to keep reaching for Him.
