How to Get Serious About Studying Your Bible with Mary Alice Hoover
Thursday, June 4, 2026 β’ 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
π North Auditorium
Most of us own a Bible. Most of us have tried to read it. And most of us have closed it ten minutes later wondering what we just read β and whether any of it actually stuck. Studying Scripture is different from just reading it, and once you learn how, the Bible starts coming alive in ways you didn't expect. In this session, Mary Alice Hoover walks through a practical, time-tested approach that helps you slow down, ask the right questions, and discover what God is actually saying in His Word β for yourself. Expect to leave with real tools you can pick up and use that same night.
Mary Alice is the wife of NewSpring's senior pastor and has served faithfully alongside him at NewSpring for over four decades. She has spent many of those years teaching others how to study Scripture inductively, and her love for God's Word is contagious. If you've ever wished you could get more out of your time in the Bible β or you're not even sure where to start β this is the session for you.
