There’s a quiet hesitation many Christian moms carry.

You love God.
You want your middle schooler to know Him deeply.
But when you sit down with your Bible, you wonder…

Am I doing this right?
Should I understand this better?
Why does everyone else seem more confident than I feel?

If you are a busy working mom trying to disciple your child while juggling work, home, and exhaustion, I want you to breathe for a moment.

You are not behind --- it could be you were simply never trained.

Why So Many Moms Feel Insecure in Bible Study

In my recent conversation with Angie Baughman, licensed pastor and founder of SteadyOn Ministry, she said something that immediately resonated.

Many churches teach the Bible well —
but far fewer teach people how to study the Bible for themselves.

So moms borrow faith.

They listen.
They attend.
They read devotionals.

But they don’t always feel personally anchored.

And when your tween begins asking harder questions, when emotions run high, when attitudes shift — you want more than borrowed insight.

You want steady confidence.

The Missing Piece: Structure

Confidence does not grow from trying harder.

It grows from understanding.

And understanding grows when we slow down and learn how to engage Scripture personally.

That’s why Angie created the Step-by-Step Bible Study Method — a simple, structured way to open the Bible and always walk away with a clear takeaway.

And here’s why I believe this matters so much for you.

Because this method fits beautifully with the message I teach from Romans 8:6:

“To be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Life and peace are not random feelings.
They are the result of agreement with God’s Word.

When your mind slows down long enough to understand what God is actually saying, your heart steadies.
And when your heart steadies, your home begins to feel different.

What Makes This Method So Helpful for a Busy Mom

You do not need an hour.

You do not need silence for 45 minutes.

You do not need to “get through” three chapters.

This method works whether you have:

• 5 minutes

• 15 minutes

• or a longer stretch on the weekend

It is structured enough to guide you.
Flexible enough to adapt to your time.
Organized enough that there is always a takeaway.

Every time.

You choose one verse.
You choose one word.
You slow down.

You look at what it means.
You explore it.
You identify truth.
You recognize the lie.
You walk away with one clear “So what?”

That means even in 10 minutes before work…
even in 15 minutes after dinner…
even sitting in your car waiting for practice to end…

You can have a meaningful encounter with God.

Not rushed.
Not pressured.
Not performative.

Purposeful.

Why This Builds Steady Confidence (Not Emotional Highs)

Here’s what I love most about this approach.

It produces gradual, steady increase.

Not hype.
Not intensity.
Not guilt-driven momentum.

Just steady growth in:

• Knowledge of God

• Recognition of His character

• Awareness of truth

• Personal agreement with Scripture

And over time?

That agreement becomes faith.

That faith becomes stability.

That stability becomes confidence.

And your middle schooler notices.

Children are not shaped most by lectures.
They are shaped by what feels steady in the room.

When a mom is personally anchored, her tone changes.
Her reactions soften.
Her leadership strengthens.

That is life and peace lived out.

“But I Don’t Have Time.”

I want to speak directly to the mom who feels stretched thin.

You are working.
You are managing schedules.
You are answering questions.
You are correcting attitudes.
You are trying to stay patient.

You may feel like you have no margin.

But here is the truth:

Five to fifteen minutes with structure is not wasted.
It is powerful.

Because those minutes are not about quantity.
They are about alignment.

You are not trying to master theology.
You are meeting with God.

And when you are personally persuaded by what He says,
you pour from overflow instead of exhaustion.
