After seven incredible years, we have made the tough decision to close this chapter. Sojo Academy is officially coming to a close.
Instead of heartbreak over this decision, we are here to give you encouragement, hope, and support during these final months! Starting with something very special... The Sojo Legacy Bundle!
Wondering what all is in the bundle? Here's just a glimpse:
75 Bible studies (including book, topical, biographical, thematic, and more)
6 mini courses
20 Scripture reading plans
35 video tutorial workshops
Simplify Your Life (a 7-module course)
4 challenges
...and much more!

RISE UP. BE DIFFERENT. STAND FIRM.
Do you feel it too? The crushing opposition?
The enemy in this world is real.
He is after your testimony.
He is after your family.
He is after your soul.
But let us remind you...
HE HAS ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED!
Now, are you ready to stand out and stand up for the Gospel? Here, you'll go from wearily struggling in isolation to being part of a thriving community that holds your feet to the fire, challenges you beyond the status quo, and keeps your focus on Christ.

1. IT STARTS WITH OUR IDENTITY!
The #SojoStrong Identity:
We are uncommon.
We are set apart.
We rise up.
We are battle-ready.
We never settle, and we never quit.
We fulfill our mission.
We proclaim His name.
We leave it all on the field.
And by God’s grace, we finish
Sojo Strong.

The roadmap to transformation: Your exclusive #SojoStrong FOUNDATIONS TO FINISH LINE Curriculum
To trust God more and truly live out your identity, you need a plan.
This is more than a membership. It’s a spiritual lifeline for women who are ready to experience real growth and vibrant, Christ-centered living.
Each quarter of 2025 focuses on a different phase of the spiritual journey:
- Foundation: Build a life rooted in Scripture and radical trust.
- Transformation: Grow in Christlikeness and personal sanctification.
- Mission: Step into bold action and live out your faith.
- Perseverance : Strengthen your faith through trials and finish well.
3. GROUNDED IN THE WORD
Fresh Bible Studies and Scripture Plans
The cornerstone of your spiritual growth is the Word of God and we will provide you with a fresh study, along with a Scripture reading and writing plan each month!
These studies are designed specifically to help you gain the skills necessary to study the Bible for yourself. It's not about us... but HIM.
July 2025 | The King Who Came Near
In a time when the world feels distant and divided, The King Who Came Near draws us into the heart of a Savior who stepped into our story. This study takes us through the Synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—to discover the identity and invitation of Jesus. From His royal lineage to His radical teachings, from wilderness trials to healing hands, we see a King who came not to be served, but to serve. He didn't shout from afar; He walked among us. And every step revealed a Kingdom unlike any other.
Over six lessons, we’ll journey alongside Jesus—through genealogy and temptation, parables and power, bold proclamations and quiet acts of grace. Whether you're wrestling with your past, longing for deeper truth, or hungry to know the heart of Christ more fully, this study will help you see Him as both King and Companion. Come meet the One who draws near, and be changed by the invitation to follow Him.
