A foundation for a lifetime.
For newer believers—and anyone who wants a better understanding of the whole Bible.
What is Establish?
Establish is a free discipleship ministry for newer believers and anyone who wants a better overall understanding of the Bible. Through Scripture reading, memory, and a connected teaching journey, we grow in knowing, loving, and following Jesus—independently or with a group.
“Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.”Colossians 2:6–7 · NASB 1995 ↗
“What are you going to do about it?”
While I was teaching Romans, two women—one in her sixties and one in her seventies—told me they had learned more about the Bible in six months than in decades of sitting in church. They wanted to understand Scripture as a whole, but felt they could not quite wrap their arms around it.
Then they asked me, “What are you going to do about it?” Establish was born from that question.
Eric and I want Establish to offer the same welcome as studying the Bible together in our home. My desire is to help people know the biblical story, understand who Jesus is, and grow in a faith that shapes everyday life.

What it means to be established
To be established is to become firm, grounded, and strengthened in faith. We want to grow in knowing God through His Word—and in trusting, loving, and following Him.
Establish brings together broad Bible reading, Scripture memory, and focused teaching. Its continuous teaching journey moves between the Old and New Testaments, making connections and returning to essential truths along the way.
You belong while you’re learning.
You do not need years of Bible knowledge to begin. Bring your questions, make room for Scripture, and take the next step.
Free to learn. Free to share.
Establish teaching materials will be freely available as they are completed. You may use, print, share, and adapt our own materials, but you may not sell them. Third-party resources retain their own permissions.
