From the founder

Hi, I’m Lauren.

I built The James Method out of my own struggle. I was a Christian who did not know how to study the Bible. So I read James 4:8, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you,” and I committed to one year of waking before sunrise to do exactly that. The tools you see here are the ones I built for myself in that year. They teach skills, not fill-in-the-blank answers, and they work for any book of the Bible.
