Bible Study

For InterVarsity staff, there are additional resources available by logging into the website here.

"Are you feeling weary? Perhaps worn out from adversity or conflict? Jesus' justice-worn heart, dusy feet and tear-laden eyes remind us he carries our humanity into God's presence as the only true Son of God and our great mediator. Come and study the book of Hebrews where you will find an anchor for your weary soul."

The ESN blog has partnered with Emerging Scholars as writers of content for and by graduate students and faculty. The material these writers have shared with the Emerging Scholars Network has been such an encouragement. Hannah Eagleson, an editor and writer for ESN collected some of the best resources for your reference as you plan events for your chapter, fellowship, small group, or prayer meetings. We are so grateful to the ESN Blog writers for these contributions.

We enjoyed such rich times of fellowship and fun seeing one another in person and online at the GFM National Staff Conference this year. Thank you to the many people who put so much time, effort, prayer and planning into our meetings. Here you will find all of the resources from GFM Staff Conference as well as the conference details.

We’re all moving toward the unknown this fall. We don’t know what to expect, or even how to imagine what things will be like. It’s a critical moment when we can choose to follow Jesus on the journey, to walk by faith instead of sight. This collection of readings from the Emerging Scholars Network blog is designed to help you do that together. Built in are study questions, prayer ideas, and optional spiritual activities for groups meeting online or in socially distanced ways.

Whether you just started graduate school or are almost finished, our weekly fall readings are designed to help you journey forward with a strong sense of calling to God’s work in the university. Read and discuss with a small group, or reflect on your own. Click here to go to the readings on the Emerging Scholars Blog.

A Grace and Mercy grant (allocated by Tom Lin) allows us to award incentive grants to 15 GFM campus staff to pilot Communal Scripture Reading on campus during 2019. This fits with a “key action” in our new GFM Strategic Plan: to resource GFM staff for excellence in training student and faculty in scripture engagement and faith/work integration. Read more about this grant opportunity.

Featured in Scholar's Compass, a project of the Emerging Scholars Network, Lauri Swann leads us in the footsteps of Abram as we examine together how we might better hear God's voice, move from listening to obedience, and continue on in faith. Strengthen your presence on campus as a Christian grad student or faculty member and read all three devotions on the Emerging Scholar's blog.

This discussion guide is the main resource for study of the text of I Peter. Often there are more questions than could be well addressed in a single small group gathering, so you will need to make some choices about what to include for your meeting. You could spend more than one meeting on a given section of I Peter as well.

Ever feel like you are all alone, venturing into unchartered territories? As Christian graduate students, faculty, university staff/administrators, and campus ministers, university life is challenging. Lauri Swann offers scripture, prayer, and testimony of God's provision for us in this three-part series from Scholar's Compass, a devotional series from the Emerging Scholars Network:

Unchartered Territories: Hearing God's Voice Unchartered Territories: Obedience Unchartered Territories: Faith

​ May God use Lauri's words to encourage and bolster your faith to hear his voice and obey.
