Thinking about starting a Bible study with other women? You don't have to be the expert or have a perfectly planned-out group. You just have to be willing to begin.

There is something special about coming together around Scripture and discovering that Jesus still has so much to reveal to us. Whether you're hoping to deepen friendships, build community at your parish, or simply spend more time in God's Word, we're here to help you take that first step.

Created as a companion to Seek His Kingdom // A Study on the Gospel of Matthew by Susanna Spencer, this Leader Guide by Beth Davis walks you through everything you need to facilitate an eight-week study of Matthew. From Jesus' teachings and miracles to His Passion and Resurrection, you'll help women encounter the Gospel in a personal way and reflect on what it means to follow Him in their own lives.

You can host in your living room, gather at your favorite coffee shop, or bring women together through your parish ministry. Wherever you meet, this guide helps you spend less time worrying about the details and more time making room for what matters: growing closer to Jesus together.

Here's how this guide helps you lead:

• An eight-week roadmap with chapter assignments and guidance for each gathering

• A simple meeting schedule for planning 75–90 minutes of fellowship, prayer, Scripture, and conversation

• Thoughtful discussion questions to help women connect what they're reading with their everyday lives

• Weekly prayer prompts that encourage women to take what they've learned into their relationship with Jesus

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

• Encouragement for first-time leaders with practical advice for facilitating conversation, creating a welcoming environment, and keeping the focus on Christ

And here's the best part: you don't have to do it all yourself. The study provides the foundation, and this guide helps you bring it to life with other women. Come as you are, ask good questions, listen well, and let the Holy Spirit work in the hearts of everyone gathered—including yours.

Gather your women. Open your Bibles. Let's seek His Kingdom together.
