# ENGAGE Bible Method

> A simple, repeatable method that helps everyday believers understand Scripture faithfully, live it honestly, and share it clearly. Created by Joshua & Lauren Quincey.

The ENGAGE Bible Method is a six-step way to study any passage of Scripture, and the master brand over a three-part discipleship series: Reading, Engaging and Living Scripture Well. It teaches how to study, not what to conclude, and points every claim back to Scripture. Scripture quotations use the World English Bible (WEB).

## About the authors

Joshua and Lauren Quincey are everyday believers with over 30 years of combined ministry experience and a personal ministry focused on discipling new believers.

## The six steps (E-N-G-A-G-E)

1. **Examine the passage.** Study what the text says and how it functions in context: author, audience, setting, flow. Ask: "What does this passage actually say?"
2. **Name the timeless truth.** State the passage's central truth in clear, faithful language, before you make it about you. Ask: "What is this passage teaching?"
3. **Gather biblical references.** Let nearby and related passages clarify, confirm, or qualify your understanding. Scripture interprets Scripture. Ask: "How does the rest of the Bible speak to this?"
4. **Assess your life honestly.** Bring your beliefs, desires, habits, relationships, and decisions under the truth: your life, not someone else's. Ask: "Where does this truth meet my actual life?"
5. **Go in faithful obedience.** Choose one specific response, trusting God's grace and the Spirit's help. Obedience, not self-improvement. Ask: "What will I do about it this week?"
6. **Explain the truth clearly.** Practice sharing what Scripture teaches, how it is shaping you, and how it connects to the good news of Jesus. Ask: "Could I share this with someone else?"

The Assess step uses five lenses: mind, heart, hands, relationships and witness.
