-
Study is a tool and you need to be doing the work that requires that tool for it to be valuable. I.e. Building character, love, getting closer to God

Also, how to meditate on work while we do it.

Progression of examples:

Workbooks, if needed
Worksheet (firestarter) study
General Template for study
If we create a course that takes someone through the structure of a study and then applies it to a few examples to work through, then they should be able to take away from that a general framework and approach to apply to any study of their own.
