How the Having a Mary Spirit DVD Study works

While the Bible is the centerpiece of all of Joanna’s studies, the books provide the structure. For this study, each participant needs:

Book, Having a Mary Spirit: Allowing GOD to Change Us from the Inside Out
Study Guide, Having a Mary Spirit: the Study Guide

Each week, the DVD teaching session and study guide homework enhances (rather than repeats) the corresponding reading assignment in the book.

The Having a Mary Spirit DVD Study Pack includes:

Twelve 18- to 20-minute video teaching sessions taught by Joanna.
Twelve “Tool Time” short videos featuring practical tools for living a Christ-like life. (view sample)
A copy of the participant Study Guide designed to help members engage with Scripture and each other in meaningful ways. (Can be purchased separately. See sample,)
Downloadable Leader Guide with outlines and suggestions for leading weekly meetings.
An optional Retreat Guide that turns DVD sessions into a special weekend event filled with engaging features and fun activities. Participant Retreat Journal is available as well.
Optional weekly memory verses and other downloadables. (See “Resources“.)
Promotional material for both the study and retreat (See “Resources“.)

Each participant needs a copy of the book and a binder with the following items:
