Current Student Spotlight: Bridgette Williams 

When I first walked through the doors of S.A.L.T., I came with a simple but heavy hunger: I wanted to learn how to truly study God’s Word. I didn’t just want to read it; I wanted to understand it. Looking back, I had no idea that this decision would ripple through every corner of my life—from my morning study habits to the way I connect with my grandson.

A New Way of Seeing

S.A.L.T. challenged me almost immediately to move past “surface-level” reading. I stopped skimming and started digging. Suddenly, I was learning Greek keywords to unlock the original depth of a passage. I began asking the hard questions: Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? By exploring the history and the context of the era, the scriptures stopped feeling like stories from a distant past and started feeling like a living map for my daily life. This shift has completely transformed my habits; I now spend more time in the Word than ever before, and more importantly, I’m focused on applying those truths to my day-to-day walk.

Restoring the Circle

One of the most unexpected blessings has been the restoration of my community. As I grew in Christ, my lifestyle began to change, and I found my old circle of friends diminishing—we simply didn’t have much in common anymore. It was a lonely transition, but S.A.L.T. filled that void with a new group of sisters. These are women I truly enjoy spending time with, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Perhaps the most precious fruit of this growth is happening in my own home. My grandson recently told me he missed the times I used to teach him about Jesus. Hearing that tugged at my heart, and I’m so grateful to say we have started studying together again. I’m passing down the very tools I’ve been given.

Led by the Spirit

I cannot speak about this journey without mentioning my teachers, Charita and Royetta. They are the embodiment of integrity and heart. There were so many moments in class where the planned lesson would shift because God was moving in the room. Watching them yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading was nothing short of amazing, and their confidence in sharing their gifts has rubbed off on me.

Sharing with Boldness

Today, I feel equipped. When friends ask for prayer or have questions about the Gospel, I don’t hesitate. I respond with a boldness I didn’t have before because I know the truth, and I know how to find it in the text. I find myself constantly excited for the next lesson, ready to do another deep dive.

To any woman considering this program: join us. You won’t just be studying scripture; you will be experiencing a move of God. You will watch yourself grow, you will gain a sisterhood, and if you are open to it, you will find yourself completely transformed.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this incredible growth process.
