Like many of you, I spend most of my days running from one obligation to the next. This makes it so difficult to fellowship as much as I would like. One thing I have long hoped to do is start a Bible study group. Unfortunately, I could never pull it together with so many hectic schedules to coordinate.
I am so excited about Lifeway's new Freefall to Fly online Bible Study with Rebekah Lyons. Hopefully this will be a new medium for folks like me to still engage in fellowship and Bible Study even when life makes it feel like it is impossible. I know nothing should ever take the place of in person fellowship, but I think this will be another great avenue to bring the gospel and community to so many people. Will you join me?

The book also calls readers to action to help "restore the idea that more freedom-not more government-is what will create true health, security, prosperity, and ultimate happiness."
