Doctrinally and theologically we align with the confessional statement of The Gospel Coalition, which can be found here.
Abidible's® course, "How to Study the Bible" was created as an optional prerequisite for our individual studies.
While the course is not required, it does have all of the helpful foundational information and tools to set you up to thrive in the individual studies. If learning how to consistently abide is important to you, we cannot recommend the course enough.
The course is for all levels, regardless of previous Bible study experience. That's because it addresses big topics like:
Why we study the Bible
What the Bible is
The layout of the Bible
The authority of the Bible
and
Then, we go in depth with practical tools AND practice. The entire format was designed help students be able to study the Bible themselves and know and love God more deeply.
That said, it is possible for people with Bible study experience (annotating, doing word studies, cross-referencing, using commentaries, etc) to jump into the individual studies without having taken the course.
Individual studies will be launching February 2023.

We have chosen to write our digital studies and design our lettered products around the English Standard Version® (ESV) of the Bible.
We chose this translation not only because it's what we've personally used the last 10 years+, but because:
*"It is an essentially literal translation that seeks as far as possible to reproduce the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer."
*It has an "emphasis on word-for-word correspondence, at the same time taking full account of differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."
*It seeks to "be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and exact force of the original."
*Derives from the Tyndale-King James Legacy:
William Tyndale's NT of 1526
King James of 1611
English Revised of 1885
American Standard of 1901
Revised Standard of 1952 and 1971
A Note from The ESV® Translation Oversight Committee:
"We know that no Bible translation is perfect; but we also know that God uses imperfect and inadequate things to his honor and praise. So to our triune God and to his people we offer what we have done, with our prayers that it may prove useful, with gratitude for much help given, and with ongoing wonder that our God should ever have entrusted to us so momentous a task."
(All quotations from the ESV Study Bible, Preface, pg. 19-20)
You are welcome to approach your Abidible® study using whatever version of the Bible you like.
That said, please note that you'll need to make some modifications to parts of the study.
Read more here about how to modify your study if you are not planning on using the ESV®.
Also note that all of our lettered products are lettered with the ESV® version of the verse.
There may come a day when we add other versions, but for now we are only able to offer ESV®. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
First of all, we invite you to pace yourself. Do our studies in any order you want, and take as long as you want.
If you want to follow along with us, you'll see us launch new studies monthly.
We do a deep dive into one particular Bible passage. The passages are usually 10 verses long.
Our studies are designed to take anywhere from 30-60 minutes a day. You’ll start by saturating your home, mind, and life with each month’s passage. Then, you’ll immediately jump into the daily verse exercises.
Each verse gets TWO DAYS of in-depth study.
Day 1 Exercises: Recording, copy work, lettering, fill in the blanks, translations, and word study
Day 2 Exercises: Cross-referencing, paraphrasing, commentary, and prayer
After a small chunk of verses, you’ll hit pause to recap and recite what you’ve learned so far.
Online, we share what we're learning together via Instagram and Facebook.
We know that each of you brings a different level of experience to this study, and some of you may even be brand new to a study like this. We are also very sensitive to your time and the demands that are already a part of your everyday life. Find a pace that works for you.

2023 Overview:

As we do, He transforms our lives and everything about how we live. We are so excited to take this journey with you.

Sure! Comfort Colors® is a garment-dyed t-shirt made 100% with ring-spun cotton. The soft-washed fabric brings extra coziness to your wardrobe while the relaxed fit makes it an excellent daily choice. The double-needle stitching throughout the tee makes it highly durable while the lack of side-seams helps the shirt retain its tubular shape.
The shirts are:
The important thing to know is that direct/reactive dyed items will be more colorfast than their pigment-dyed counterparts. They are more resilient to harsh detergents and hot water washes.
The colors of pigment-dyed apparel will fade slightly over multiple washes, which is one quality people like. You could say it’s more wishy-washy. But both styles will become even softer.
Avoid using bleach, harsh detergents, and hot water. Turn the garment inside-out for best results, and use cold water wash with mild detergent.
And, no. Your shirt should not shrink. At least not any more than comparable cotton apparel. Comfort Colors® are pre-shrunk, so if machine washing cool and drying at low-temp, the shirts should not shrink at all.
