SUMMARY:Summer Bible Study for Caregivers at Cracker Barrel - Arizona (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Joni and Friends Arizona\, in partnership with Cracker Barrel\, invites you to our Summer Bible Study for Caregivers\, an encouraging eight-week study designed especially for parents and caregivers of individuals living with disability. \nTogether we’ll spend 90 minutes each week between August 6 – September 24\, studying The Gospel in Hard Times\, a powerful resource from Joni and Friends that offers a biblical perspective on suffering\, hope\, and the presence of Christ in our deepest struggles. Through Scripture\, thoughtful discussion\, and authentic fellowship\, you’ll discover how the Gospel speaks into the challenges you face as a caregiver. \nEach session is guided by Joni Eareckson Tada’s rich biblical teaching on God’s faithfulness in suffering\, which will help you to experience God’s presence amid your own pain and the suffering of those you love. Whether you’re feeling weary\, searching for encouragement\, or longing to grow deeper in your faith\, this study will provide a safe place to connect with other caregivers\, strengthen your relationship with Christ\, and build a lasting foundation of hope in Jesus. \nCome enjoy eight weeks of meaningful fellowship\, biblical encouragement\, and life-giving community as we learn to find hope through hardship together. We look forward to growing alongside you this summer. \nFacilitated by: Kerri Jeter\, Area Director\, Joni and Friends Arizona; Amanda Tallman\, Key Community Leader\nRegistration required

SUMMARY:Virtual Bible Study for Veteran Women - Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Join women Veterans from Arizona and across the United States for an encouraging eight-session virtual Bible study. We will journey through The Names of God\, a Lifeway Bible study featuring Kristi McLelland\, Caroline Saunders\, Blair Linne\, Jennifer Rothschild\, Kelly Minter\, and Elizabeth Woodson. \nFrom the opening chapters of Genesis through the final verses of Revelation\, God is known by many names\, which reveal who He is\, what He does\, and how He relates to His children. In this study\, we will examine names for the Father\, the Son\, and the Holy Spirit\, discovering the impact each of God’s names has on our relationship with Him. \nWhether you are navigating transition\, healing from the invisible wounds of service\, seeking a stronger relationship with Christ\, or longing for authentic Christian community with women who understand military life\, this study is for you. \nTogether\, we’ll spend 90 minutes each week studying God’s Word\, encouraging one another\, praying together\, and enjoying fellowship. Come discover that the more we know the names of God\, the more we know the heart of God—and who He calls us to be. \n\nAugust 9 – September 27\, 2026\nSundays 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.\nRegistration is required\nZoom link provided upon registration\nPlease purchase The Names of God book on your own: https://www.lifeway.com/en/product-family/the-names-of-god-bible-study

SUMMARY:Summer Bible Study for Caregivers at Cracker Barrel - Arizona (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Joni and Friends Arizona\, in partnership with Cracker Barrel\, invites you to our Summer Bible Study for Caregivers\, an encouraging eight-week study designed especially for parents and caregivers of individuals living with disability. \nTogether we’ll spend 90 minutes each week between August 6 – September 24\, studying The Gospel in Hard Times\, a powerful resource from Joni and Friends that offers a biblical perspective on suffering\, hope\, and the presence of Christ in our deepest struggles. Through Scripture\, thoughtful discussion\, and authentic fellowship\, you’ll discover how the Gospel speaks into the challenges you face as a caregiver. \nEach session is guided by Joni Eareckson Tada’s rich biblical teaching on God’s faithfulness in suffering\, which will help you to experience God’s presence amid your own pain and the suffering of those you love. Whether you’re feeling weary\, searching for encouragement\, or longing to grow deeper in your faith\, this study will provide a safe place to connect with other caregivers\, strengthen your relationship with Christ\, and build a lasting foundation of hope in Jesus. \nCome enjoy eight weeks of meaningful fellowship\, biblical encouragement\, and life-giving community as we learn to find hope through hardship together. We look forward to growing alongside you this summer. \nFacilitated by: Kerri Jeter\, Area Director\, Joni and Friends Arizona; Amanda Tallman\, Key Community Leader\nRegistration required

SUMMARY:Summer Bible Study for Caregivers at Cracker Barrel - Arizona (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Joni and Friends Arizona\, in partnership with Cracker Barrel\, invites you to our Summer Bible Study for Caregivers\, an encouraging eight-week study designed especially for parents and caregivers of individuals living with disability. \nTogether we’ll spend 90 minutes each week between August 6 – September 24\, studying The Gospel in Hard Times\, a powerful resource from Joni and Friends that offers a biblical perspective on suffering\, hope\, and the presence of Christ in our deepest struggles.
