What is the SOAP Bible study method?

SOAP is a simple way to study a short Bible passage in four steps. It fits into a few quiet minutes, which is why many churches and small groups use it for daily devotions. Plumbline is built around it.

The four steps

  1. S: ScriptureRead a short Bible passage.
  2. O: ObservationWrite what stands out to you.
  3. A: ApplicationFind one way to live it out.
  4. P: PrayerRespond to God in your own words.

How Plumbline helps

  • A passage for today

    Start with “Abide”, a 21-day plan of short passages, or follow the daily Lent readings from Ash Wednesday to Easter.

  • Topics

    Passages for Peace, Forgiveness, Purpose, Fear, Gratitude and Grief.

  • A guide that asks

    The optional study guide asks questions about the passage. It does not give verdicts, speak for God or replace your church, and you can switch it off.

  • Private by design

    Your journal is encrypted on your iPhone and no account is needed. Your prayers are never sent anywhere.
