Hi, I’m Karen

I have always enjoyed studying the Bible, digging deep into God’s truth and helping others cultivate their relationship with Jesus. The heart of ezra710living is to do just that. Ezra 7:10 is a simple yet powerful Bible verse written by the prophet Ezra which you can use to strengthen your Christian walk.

As my love for studying the Bible grew over the years, I was motivated to achieve a new level of understanding God’s Word. After retiring from a local law enforcement agency, the Lord provided a generous scholarship to attend Southern California Seminary. I completed my Master’s degree in Christian Ministry in 2017 and now write and offer free bible studies.

My passion for continuous learning and keeping my faith relevant to engage with others led me to pursue the rigorous 10 month Colson Fellows program. In May of 2024, I completed the program and was formally commissioned as a Colson Fellow.      

Why do I write and offer free bible studies?

I write and offer free bible studies because I was freely given by the Lord; therefore, I choose to give freely to others. These bible studies are free to download instantly, and there are no gimmicks, opt-ins, or teasers. The sole focus is God’s Word, taking a book of the Bible and studying it verse-by-verse. They are carefully researched and lovingly written for all readers. The Lord bless you as you study His Word.

Hence, the development of this website was prompted by God’s calling to assist others who may be seeking and desiring to grow in a group bible study or on your own.

In my personal life, my husband and I have four beautiful adult daughters. Taking care of our animals (3 horses and 2 cats) keeps us busy. Some of my other interests include reading, reading, and more reading, hiking, all things nature, sewing, and a good cup of tea.

I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you all and hearing about yours. The Lord bless you as you seek to grow in Him.
