Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read 1 Corinthians 9:22–23 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about sharing our faith?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

What does it look like to share your faith in a way that connects with others without being fake about who you are?

In what way do you need humility so you can meet others where they're at?

Who's someone you could learn more about to better understand how to show them who Jesus is?

P: Prayer

Spend some time praying about how you need humility in sharing your faith. Ask God to show you places where you can become more curious about others in order to share Jesus with them in a way that connects. Then say thank you that through Jesus we can be confident about who we are and use that security to understand others better as well.
