SOAP is a simple yet transformative method for reading and applying God's word to our daily lives. This acronym stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer - four key steps that can deepen our understanding and impact of the Bible.


The Four steps:

  1. S: Scripture – Read a short Bible passage out loud and/or write it out.
  2. O: Observation – What do you notice about the verses? What do you think the main message is? What verses, words or ideas jump out to you?
  3. A: Application – Ask God how he wants you to apply the verse to your own life.
  4. P: Prayer – Pray for yourself and/or for others
