Requirements
- No Prior Knowledge Needed : This course assumes absolutely zero biblical background. Whether you have never opened a Bible in your life or you grew up hearing Bible stories but never studied them formally, you are welcome exactly as you are.
- A Bible (Any Translation) Learners will need access to a Bible — physical or digital. Since many people may not own one, you should prominently recommend free options like the YouVersion Bible App, Bible Gateway (biblegateway.com), or the Blue Letter Bible. This removes any financial barrier entirely.
- An Open and Curious Mind No specific beliefs are required to take this course. It is designed to be welcoming to Christians, those exploring faith, and anyone who is simply curious about what the Bible says and means.
- A Notebook or Journal Each lesson includes reflection questions, so learners benefit from having somewhere to write down their thoughts, questions, and personal insights as they go through the material.
- Approximately 1–2 Hours Per Week With 6 lessons averaging 15–20 minutes each, learners can comfortably complete the course in 2–3 weeks at a relaxed pace, or in a single week if they are motivated.
- A Free Divine Bible Study Account To track progress, save notes, and access completion certificates, learners will need to create a free account on your platform.

Target audiences
- 1. Complete Beginners People who have never read the Bible before and feel intimidated by its size, language, and structure. They are curious about Christianity but don't know where to start. They need a gentle, judgment-free entry point that makes Scripture feel accessible rather than overwhelming.
- 2. Returning Believers People who grew up in church but drifted away from faith and are now returning. They may have childhood familiarity with Bible stories but never formally studied the Scripture as an adult. They need a fresh, mature perspective that meets them where they are today.
- 3. New Christians People who have recently given their life to Christ and are hungry to understand the foundation of their new faith. They are motivated and eager but need structured guidance on how to read, understand, and apply the Bible to their daily lives.
- 4. Spiritually Curious Non-Christians People who don't identify as Christian but are intellectually or spiritually curious about the Bible and what it teaches. They may be exploring different faiths or worldviews and want an honest, open introduction without feeling pressured or judged.
- 5. Parents and Guardians Mothers, fathers, and caregivers who want to raise their children in faith but feel unequipped to answer their kids' questions about God and the Bible. They are looking for confidence and clarity so they can lead their families spiritually.
- 6. Young Adults and College Students People in the 18–30 age group who are asking big life questions about purpose, identity, and meaning. Many in this group have grown up with limited church exposure but are open to exploring spirituality on their own terms, in their own time, through digital platforms.
- 7. Small Group Leaders and Sunday School Teachers People who lead or teach in a church setting and want a structured resource they can recommend to new members or use as a foundation for group discussion. This audience values content that is theologically sound and easy to follow.
