This ain't ya mama's Bible study
iSlay Bible Study Experience is a contemporary, fresh, and raw engagement with the biblical text, giving women space to laugh, learn, leap forward and go deeper in our faith—together. It is for the fiercest, most fabulous of women who want to have real conversations about the place where their life experiences meet the purposes and power of our incredible God!. “Won’t She do it?” And by the way, here, God is “She,” “He”, “They”, “Them.” God is Spirit. God is love. God loves us. God helps and heals us. God sets us FREE! Blessed be the name of our God! Pardon my praise break!
iSlay is for contemporary Christian women who want to slaaaaaay in every aspect of their lives—faith, love, family, work, legacy—and are ready for God to show them how! iSlay Bible Study promotes the divine practices of sisterhood, authenticity, open-mindedness, spiritual growth, creativity, and joy! And if that feels like your jam, then the iSlay Bible Study Experience IS FOR YOU!

The iSlay Bible Study Experience is a fresh, innovative, interactive approach to biblical study uniquely designed to teach biblical truth primarily to contemporary women. We call it an experience because it is a glorious gathering of faithful women who are yearning for a moment with God, inspired through the communal, liberative, study of God’s word.
iSlay Bible Study Experience is committed to:
- centering the voices, stories, and experiences, of women, especially women of color, in biblical study
- developing lesson content shaped and informed by faithful biblical exegesis, prioritizing the use of womanist and feminist scholarship
- creative use of technology and virtual platforms in order to achieve optimal reach
- promoting a spirit of community and Christian fellowship amongst participants
- encouraging the spiritual, economic, and emotional growth and empowerment of its membership
- serving the present age by contemporizing the study of the Bible, and drawing connections to the intersections of race, gender, faith, and politics
