about us

Hi, I'm Kristen. And this is our little family business.

I'm a mom of two, a wife, a coffee addict, and honestly? 
A recovering Bible-study-quitter.

For years I did what a lot of us do. I'd start strong in January, 
hit a wall somewhere around Leviticus, feel the guilt pile up, 
and quietly close my Bible until I worked up the courage to try 
again. I downloaded the apps. I bought the journaling Bibles. 
I signed up for the church study groups. I even tried reading 
the Bible in a year. Twice. Never made it past February.

Every time I quit, I thought the same thing: what is wrong with me?

Then I had kids. And whatever margin I had before? Gone. Between 
the 3 AM wake-ups, the school pickups, the cold coffee, and the 
Goldfish crackers somehow ending up inside my Bible... consistent 
quiet time felt impossible.

But I still wanted it. I wanted to know God better. I wanted to 
understand what I believed, not just repeat what I'd grown up 
hearing. I wanted to teach my kids about faith from a real place, 
not just childhood memory.

So my husband Austin and I started building something.

Not a big company. Not a corporation. Just the two of us, sitting 
at our kitchen table, asking one question: what would actually help 
someone like me?

The answer was The Simple Bible Study Guide.

We designed it around the one thing that always tripped me up. 
That feeling of being behind. Every study I'd ever tried was 
dated, sequential, chapter by chapter. Miss a week and the guilt 
built up so fast I'd stop completely.

So we built ours differently. There are no dates. No sequence to 
keep up with. Each week covers one theme from Scripture and stands 
completely on its own. You can pick it up after three months away 
and just start the next week. No catching up. No guilt. Just you 
and God's Word.

And we obsessed over the quality because we knew it mattered.

This is not a flimsy print-on-demand guide. It's a hardcover with 
a gold spiral binding that lays completely flat while you write. 
The paper is thick enough that your highlighters and pens won't 
bleed through. It feels like something worth opening every morning, 
not something you shove in a drawer.

We're a small operation. Austin handles the business side and I 
handle the content and community. We pack orders, answer every 
customer email personally, and genuinely care whether this guide 
works for you. When something isn't right, we make it right. 
That's just how we do things.

Over 14,000 people are using this guide right now. Every single 
review we get means something to us because we remember building 
this at that kitchen table, hoping it would actually help someone.

If you've ever felt like you're bad at Bible study, I just want 
you to know: you're not. You just haven't had the right guide yet.

That's exactly why we built this one.

With love,
Kristen and Austin
