Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're in! We're so glad you signed up for the One Thousand Gifts Study with our online community at FaithGateway! The study kicks off on November 16th and you can jump right in and watch the Session One video teaching with Ann now! Our hearts are so full of hope and expectancy that God is going to do something incredible in our lives through this study. We are ready to join hands with you and open our eyes to ordinary, amazing grace... to presence... to living fully alive and finding God in all the moments.

You can start reading (or re-reading) the book anytime, and begin your daily gratitude recordings. Some people are journaling, keeping lists on scratch pads and notebooks, even taking to Instagram to post photos using #1000gifts and #1000giftsobs.

Here are a few other things you need to know:

  • Study dates are November 16th - December 20th and it's just five video sessions. We'll send you an email every Monday morning with the new video teaching and that week's information.
  • Grab your free downloads below and everything you need to get started right away for Session One.
  • You're invited to participate in facilitated, community discussion at the end of each video teaching with Ann. There's also a private Facebook group (optional) for daily discussion. Look for details in your email confirmation.
  • Don't miss our great offers on the book and study guide from FaithGateway Store at savings up to 40% off + get free shipping on orders $30 or more.

Question: What Else Do I Need?

The Study Guide + Book

Your access to all five study videos with Ann will be FREE, and the recommended resource to go along with the videos is the One Thousand Gifts Study Guide, which has your weekly Bible study (workbook-style) for sessions 1-5. Plus, each week there is companion reading in Ann's bestselling book, One Thousand Gifts — the two really go together for the most fulfilling study experience! As Ann invites you into her own moments of grace, she gently teaches you how to biblically lament loss, turning pain into poetry; intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude; and slow down and catch God in the moment.

Questions and Answers

  • q-iconWhere do I sign up for the Facebook private group? What's that all about?

    Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/faithgateway.onethousandgifts/ The group is optional for people who want more daily interaction and community. Be sure to read the community rules and remember to keep conversations on topic with no soliciting. We’d love to have you be a part of this group!

  • q-iconWhat other ways can we engage with the online participants?

    Not on Facebook? Don’t worry! We will host discussion opportunities after each of the teaching videos to talk about the week’s video lesson with Ann! These are hosted by a moderator/small group leader and are FREE for all participants.

  • q-iconCan I buy the DVDs and watch the videos that way?

    Yes! You can buy the DVD in the FaithGateway store (it’s on sale at 40% off!) to have a copy of your own. You can also buy a combo pack that includes the DVD and the companion study guide.

  • q-iconI don't live in the USA and want to do this Bible study. How can I obtain the materials please?

    Anyone with Internet access can watch the videos for FREE week by week, and follow along with our weekly emails. For the companion book, we recommend checking with your local Christian bookstore or online retailer (like Amazon Canada or Amazon UK).

  • q-iconI'm already part of a small group at church. How can we do this study with you?

    All of the online activities associated with this study are optional. You can still structure your group like a traditional Bible study using the free downloads we’ve provided and the study materials in the book. Feel free to follow our study calendar and meet every week or set up your own schedule and go at your group’s pace

  • q-iconWhat communication can I expect to receive? I don't want to be inundated with emails.

    After sign up you’ll receive an email a week as you’re going through the study. We’ll keep you updated on the assigned reading for the week and where to watch your companion videos. With your registration you will also start to receive the weekly FaithGateway Bible Study newsletter. You can unsubscribe from any of these at any time.

  • q-iconIs this something I could do via Skype? I am looking for a study to do with my friends , but we are in different cities.

    Absolutely! The weekly videos will be available online so you could get on Skype (or Google Hangouts, iChat, or whatever), watch them at the same time, then talk and process through the questions and each week’s reading together. We love this idea! What an awesome way to bond with friends across the miles.

  • q-iconIs this online Bible study just for women?

    Everyone and anyone is welcome to join the online Bible study. The Scriptural truths and study of God’s Word are for everyone.
