A New Beginning
Hello!
I am so excited, and little bit nervous, about this new step in The Diligent Woman journey.
I started The Diligent Woman back in 2013 to keep myself accountable as I wrote “To Be a Handmaid of the Lord”. I wanted to see if there were others who needed the lessons as much as I did and if there was interest in such a study. Thousands of subscribers and sold copies of the finished book (and others) later, you have shown me there is a desire to spend time exploring how God’s word impacts our lives every day, when we let it.
I will be getting back to my regular, weekly schedule of sending you words of encouragement from scripture. I’m taking today as a welcome to those of you who are new to this way of getting newsletters and an introduction to those who may join us here on Substack.
If you are looking for The Diligent Woman Podcast, you can find it on all of the normal podcast players like Apple and Spotify, BUT you can also find it right here on The Diligent Woman Stack. Personally, I find this much more handy - posts to read or to listen to all in one place. The podcast posts are grouped into their own area so they are easy to find and search.
I am also building three other stacks you may find interesting -
The Diligent Life Stack This is the community based on studying together and working to be more diligent. The Diligent Woman encourages you find practical ways to be more diligent, The Diligent Life walks with you in applying it one day at a time. Prompts to plan for prayer and study, weekly prayer threads, and other content will be found over there. There is free and paid content to access. Your choice. If you want to participate in chats, live videos, and weekly study prompts, The Diligent Life is for you.
Words on My Heart will become the new home for all things Scripture Writing related. The Scripture Writing Club will be offered again here. So if you want to get a new study every month, go subscribe to Words on My Heart and watch for those studies to be offered. This will be a primarily paid subscription, like the Scripture Writing Club was before - but it will be easier to access.
By the Book Bible Study Stack will become the hub for everything in the By the Book Bible Study membership. This is where book studies using scripture writing, Bible marking, and verse threading all come together in a deeper study of books of the Bible. These studies are great for family studies and homeschool studies too. So if you just want to study, just want to soak in God’s word slowly, By the Book is something to join. This will also be a primarily paid subscription because it is a study membership.
Don’t get overwhelmed by all of that!
Start right here with me, and just watch as things play out. Choose where your interests take you. But if you are happy to just receive the weekly email with scripture to meditate on, then just stay right here in The Diligent Woman Stack. We will continue to walk this walk together, one day at a time.
Thank you for your encouragment and support!
With all diligence,
Angela - The Diligent Woman
