Want to grow closer to Jesus but aren't sure where to start? Open the Gospel and make a little room for Him in your everyday life.

Scripture has a way of meeting us right where we are. Through the words and actions of Jesus, we discover a Savior who draws near, calls us to follow Him, and invites us into a life transformed by His love.

Created as a companion to Listen to Him // A Study on the Gospel of Mark, this Leader Guide helps you bring women together for an eight-week journey through the shortest Gospel. You'll create space to reflect on Jesus' ministry, listen to His teachings, and consider what it means to follow Him with greater trust and faithfulness.

Whether you're starting a Bible study with friends, gathering women at a coffee shop, or building community at your parish, this guide gives you the practical tools and encouragement to get started.

Here's how this guide helps you lead:

• An eight-week roadmap to guide your group through the Gospel of Mark

• A simple meeting schedule for planning time for fellowship, prayer, Scripture, and conversation

• Thoughtful discussion questions to help women reflect on the Gospel and connect it with their own lives

• Weekly prayer prompts to encourage women to respond to Jesus beyond the gathering

• Ready-to-use hosting resources, including a checklist and invitation to share with your group

• Practical leadership guidance for creating a welcoming space where women can share, listen, and grow together

You don't need to be a theologian or have every answer ready. You just need a willingness to show up, open the Word, and make space for Jesus to work. Let this guide help with the details so you can focus on what matters most: encountering Christ together.

Gather your women. Open your Bibles. Listen to Him.
