The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and talks on relevant study material.
A typical WWP session starts with snacks, brief social time, and opens in whole group prayer. Small groups discuss the week’s videos or scripture study homework focusing on personal application questions. Then, small groups share prayer intentions and then close in prayer.
Yes. Sickness, work, and life happen. We all miss a lesson here and there. Just be sure to get back to your group as soon as you can. Not only is consistency important, but also your group will miss you!
The study guide (purchased here when you register for WWP Bible study) and a Catholic Bible are all that you need! The recommended Bible translations to use for a WWP study are the New American Bible (NAB) Revised Edition or the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition; or The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Second Edition by Ascension Press.

Absolutely! Start with Opening Your Heart, the WWP foundational course. This Bible study is an incredibly effective guide to deep, lasting transformation of the heart, and we encourage all participants new to WWP to begin here, regardless of previous experience with Bible study.
WWP is a Catholic Bible study experience that meets each woman exactly where she is. What sets us apart from other Catholic studies is our focus on the heart, taking the information learned each week and translating it into personal action. No previous Bible study experience is necessary to dive into a WWP study.
