SOAP is a method of reading scriptures from the Holy Bible, and applying to your life.  Spending time in the Bible, thinking about what it says, and praying to God about how He can help you in your family, and other relationships, is a healthy daily habit.

Here's how it works:

1. Pick a few friends or family members to join.

2. Pick/create a daily reading plan & share it with your group.

3. Each person spend daily time in God's word using SOAP.
