In the words of our community
Experiences from the wider Faith of Messiah membership community, shared before the current plan structure.
As a teacher myself, I deeply admire the time and passion Ryan pours into his research and teaching. There’s a wealth of information here for anyone who’s truly hungry to understand the Bible in its historical and cultural context. I thank Yahweh for leading me to this community.
One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was seeing the connection between the ‘Old’ and ‘New’ Testaments. I started to perceive the whole story—how our misunderstandings often come from not knowing the ancient cultural context.
Here’s how your pathway begins
A shared foundation. Room to practice. A next step that fits your curiosity.
Build your foundation
Begin with the five-module Confident Reader Course. Written and video lessons help you recognize assumptions, ask better questions, and develop a thoughtful way of reading.
Put it into practice
Continue with Confident Reader Labs and classes. Work with the text, explore questions, and strengthen the habits you are learning.
Follow your curiosity
Choose studies from your plan’s library. Stay with the essentials or pursue longer studies and the full course collection through Deep Dive.
How this differs from Confident Reader

Membership questions
Which membership should I choose?
Choose Confident Reader for a guided foundation and better reading habits. Choose Deep Dive for sustained contextual study and the available course and deep-dive library.
Are individual courses included?
Both plans include the Confident Reader Course. Deep Dive also includes all courses while membership remains active. Other courses can be purchased separately by Confident Reader members.
Do I keep course access after canceling?
Membership access depends on an active subscription. A course purchased separately with lifetime access remains a separate purchase.
Can I switch plans?
Contact support about changing plans. Do not start a second subscription to switch or upgrade.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel your membership. Use the billing portal or contact support for help with your subscription.
What if I already bought a course?
Use your existing course access. Membership is an optional next step for ongoing study, not a requirement to keep a lifetime course purchase.
Where do I access the material?
Use Access My Content for member study, individual courses, billing, and support.
Are current classes included?
Yes. Both Confident Reader and Deep Dive include access to classes, as well as the Confident Reader Course and Confident Reader Labs.
What happens to annual access if I cancel early?
Contact support before changing an annual subscription to confirm the end date of your paid access and any applicable refund terms.
