Welcome

I love to teach, and I have been a teacher in a variety of settings over the past 20+ years. I taught yoga to children and adults for over a decade, and since 2020, I have been regularly teaching God's Word. 


One of my yoga students once  said, "I think if Katie didn't teach, she'd explode!" I agree, and I believe teaching is a big part of God's call on my life. The majority of these lessons have been recorded for my church, and I hope to add more original content as I grow in ministry and my seminary journey.

Online Bible Studies

During the pandemic, our church began offering Online Bible Studies in place of Sunday School. As we began to gather together, the demand for this weekly Bible study led by lay leaders encouraged us to continue. I have had opportunity to teach a good portion of these lessons, and it is always a blessing. They are listed below from most recent to oldest from 2020.

Hearing and Doing

We conclude our series on the Sermon on the Mount with Katie Shull today by looking at Matthew 7:15-29. This passage helps us understand how we can recognize Jesus' true disciples, look reflectively on our own faith, and how living a life rooted in relationship with God can help us weather any storm.

Does Restriction = Freedom?

We continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount with Katie Shull. This week's lesson comes from Matthew 7:1-14. In this passage we look at what restrictions Jesus imposes on his followers, and how adhering to them can lead to a life of freedom and abundance.

God's Son Is Revealed

The Mission Expands

We continue our study of the Gospel of Mark this week with Katie Shull. In the lesson, "The Mission Expands" from Mark 6:1-13, we learn that the obstacles we face in pursuit of God's will are not always dead ends. Instead, these barriers can guide us to finding our place of service in the world.

Praise God the Creator

The Firstborn of All Creation

Katie Shull leads our third week of the January series: "Our Loving, Creating God" with a lesson from Colossians 1:11-23, and she even takes us on a little field trip! In this passage, we listen as Paul asserts the full divinity, full humanity, and full supremacy of Christ.

The Persistent Widow

In the parable of the Persistent Widow found in Luke 18:1-8, Jesus gives an example of how a life of tenacious faith gives us hope for justice if we can follow the example of the persistent widow.

Two Frantic Searchers

The parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin in Luke 15:1-10 invite us to examine our lives closely to understand the ways we become lost, what it is like to be found, and who belongs within the fold of Jesus' grace.

From Doubt to Delight

For our fourth installation of the Humor in the Bible series, we will explore the shift from doubt to delight made by Abraham and Sarah when the Lord told them they would finally have a son at their advanced ages. Katie Shull encourages us to reflect on how God's blessings have provoked joy and how God's improbable promises can be invitations to believe.

Joy Comes in the Mourning

“Joy Comes in the Mourning” is the title of our 3rd installment of our Humor in the Bible series. Katie Shull invites us to explore how the psalmists in Psalm 30 and Psalm 126 found joy in their mourning through the rescue of an uplifting God, how the Lord faithfully turns our personal sorrows into Joy, and how we can use our joy to turn attention towards God.  If someone were to look at your life, would they know that God is good?  Here's a music playlist to help you connect further with the message of today's lesson: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1FN...
