Consistent Bible study is not easy. Not only do we have to want to study, we also have to navigate the hurdles to Bible study. Those nasty thorns can choke the spiritual life right out of us {Luke 8:14}. So how do we stay the course and prioritize Bible study over the cares (I’m looking at you, laundry!) and riches (I’m looking at you, phone!) and pleasures (I’m looking at you, Netflix!) of life?
That’s why we’ve created The Obstacle Course, to help you create a plan for meaningful, profitable, consistent Bible study.

If you’ve been a part of the Ruffled Mango tribe for a while, you probably recognize The Obstacle Course. While the core content is the same, we’ve been working hard to update the curriculum and graphics. But whether you’re new to the Ruffled Mango or a seasoned veteran, we have all the information you need to get started!

This digital workbook + the bonuses would normally cost $115.😮 But this is an important topic, and we know that’s a lot of money. That’s why we’re offering the workbook, graphic goodies, and bonus material for only $22, a price comparable to devotional books at any Christian bookstore.
What if I already purchased the Obstacle Course?
No worries! If you’ve already purchased The Obstacle Course, you’ll have access to the updated version. You won’t have to repurchase it. Be looking for an email (via the email address you use with Teachable) for more information!
How do I access the Obstacle Course?
In the past, we have housed all of our studies on Teachable. However, after feedback from several of you, we started to look for a more user-friendly option. That’s why we’re launching our new MemberVault site. If you’re ready to sign up for The Obstacle Course, click here.
What if I want to preview the study before signing up?
You absolutely have that option! These lessons and study tools have benefitted us, and we are confident they can help you, too. But if you’re like most of us, you want to know *exactly* what you’re getting. That’s why we’re offering a free preview of The Obstacle Course. Try it out by clicking here or on the photo below!
It’s time to set aside every weight and become a Bible student with endurance! Do you think YOU can do it?
Maybe you think you can’t. But God can.
