This October I began leading a Bible Study with my home church, beginning with the book of Jonah. We used this opportunity to learn a more condensed version of Inductive study than what I learned during my time with YWAM, yet still incredibly insightful.
To do so we broke the study down into 5 main steps:
1. First Reading
2. Historical Background
3. Observation
4. Interpretation
5. Application
Throughout these teachings you will hear me explain these 5 Steps as we use the book of Jonah to exercise them. Enjoy!

Below are some resources I suggest if you would like to further your own inductive study of the Bible:

- Tyndale Bible Dictionary
- Nelson’s New Illustrated Bible Dictionary
- Holman Bible Dictionary
