How Studying Angels and the Supernatural Realm Helps Us Understand God More

March 16, 2026 1:00pm

What does the Bible really teach about angels, and why does it matter for our faith today?

Join Bible teacher and author Melissa Spoelstra for a thoughtful webinar to kick off the Angels online Bible study. In this conversation hosted by Andrea Lennon, we’ll explore how studying angels and the supernatural realm helps us better understand who God is, how He works, and where our hope is found. This conversation will consider how Scripture invites us into informed, grounded discussions about angels, how biblical truth replaces fear with confidence, and how knowing God’s Word equips us to navigate cultural curiosity about the supernatural. For women who disciple others—whether in a formal ministry setting or around a table with friends—this webinar offers biblical clarity and encouragement to lead conversations rooted in truth.
