Why this study guide matters

Reading The Ladder of Love opens a door—but walking through it takes time, reflection, and often the companionship of others. Many women finish the book stirred and hopeful, yet unsure how to begin applying what they've discovered to their own hearts and lives.

This study guide bridges that gap. It gives you the space and structure to move from inspiration to transformation—whether you're working through it on your own or alongside a group of trusted friends.

Go deeper into the biblical imagery of intimacy with God that Stasi unpacks in the book
Process your own story through guided reflection exercises and personal prayer practices
Create space for honest conversation with others who are on the same journey
Experience God's love personally, not just learn about it

The Ladder of Love study guide will include six sessions designed to help individuals and groups explore the journey of intimacy with God described throughout Scripture.

Each session will include:

Teaching from Stasi Eldredge
Guided discussion questions for groups
Personal reflection exercises
Scripture passages for deeper exploration
Prayer practices that help you experience God's love more personally

Who this study is for

This study guide is ideal for anyone who has read The Ladder of Love and wants to go further—or for groups looking for a meaningful resource to walk through together.

It is especially suited for:

Small groups seeking a study rooted in Scripture and personal reflection
Women's ministry gatherings looking for content that goes beyond surface-level discussion
Bible studies exploring themes of intimacy with God and emotional healing
Individuals pursuing personal spiritual formation and a deeper prayer life

The Ladder of Love as a group experience

Scripture uses many images to describe our relationship with God: clay, sheep, servant, child, sibling, friend, and bride. These images reveal something beautiful—they describe the progression of intimacy God invites us into.

The Ladder of Love study guide helps participants explore this journey together, creating space for honest reflection, healing, and a deeper experience of God's love.

Why use this for a group study?

Fosters vulnerability and trust — the guided questions create a safe space for women to share honestly about their relationship with God
Provides a shared framework — groups develop a common language for the stages of intimacy with God described in Scripture
Pairs with video teaching from Stasi — six sessions that unpack the themes and invite participants to respond personally to the love of Christ

Video sessions with Stasi Eldredge

This study guide is designed to accompany six teaching sessions with Stasi Eldredge that guide participants through the themes of The Ladder of Love.

Each video session helps unpack the biblical imagery of intimacy with God and invites participants to respond personally to the love of Christ.
