Rooted to Flourishing
A 5-Session Study to Prepare for Reading the Bible in 2026
Come with your questions. Leave with a foundation.
If you have ever felt like you should know more about the Bible—but never knew where to start—or if your past experiences with church have left you uncertain about what you believe, this study is for you.
Rooted to Flourishing is a 5-session study that will help you engage with the Bible from an honest, curious, and informed place. Whether you are preparing to read through the Bible for the first time or returning to it with fresh eyes, this experience will equip you with tools to explore your faith in a meaningful way.
This study is the beginning of a journey to read through the entire Bible in 2026—but first, we will build the foundation.
What to Expect
Over seven sessions, you will:
-
Learn essential Bible facts, history, and structure
-

Why I Created This Study
My name is Carolyn Carleton, and I come to this study as someone who has spent much of her life immersed in faith. I was a Pastor’s wife, a ministry leader, and a speaker across Canada. But behind the stage lights and Sunday smiles, I experienced deep hurt that caused me to question everything I thought I knew.
That season of pain became a sacred turning point.
I began to read the Bible chronologically—starting from the beginning, seeking to understand God's story, not just memorize the verses I had always been taught. What I discovered changed everything. It was not about a checklist of rules. It was about a God who reveals Himself through story, relationship, and grace.
Now, I want to create space for other women to do the same—without pressure, shame, or fear. This study is my invitation to you: come explore the Bible from a place of healing, honesty, and hope.
