Listen to “CHM111:Busy Moms’ Guide to SELAH Bible Studies with Shelley Noonan” on Spreaker.
This week’s fabulous interview is with author, Shelley Noonan. I had a blast talking with her and receiving encouragement about digging into the study of the bible for ourselves. She introduced to me the Selah bible study, a beautiful method of reading and meditating on scripture.
Shelley Noonan has been married to the same sweet man for 35 years. She has three grown children and four, soon to be five, grandchildren. Her passion is to encourage others in their walk with the Lord by learning how to dwell in the Word of God and is the author and co-author of eight books. Shelley delights in speaking, writing, and communicating about the unexpected, undeserved, and steadfast love that is available from the Lord.

About the Selah Bible Studies Series with Shelley Noonan
“Selah” is a musical term that refers to reflecting and resting. It creates time to pause and listen and reflect on the Word of God. This is something we should be doing: spending time with God so that our hearts are completely changed. The change happens by spending one-on-one time with the Lord.
Selah is a framework to create time to be with Him. It’s a plan that creates a systematic interaction with scripture. It’s incorporated through the daily discipline of study and time in the Word.
2 parts to the Selah method
The Selah method is a beautiful process of reading through and studying the Word in detail. There are two main parts to the method.
Pause- is when we take time out of our busy lives to read God’s Word. Read a portion every day for five days and observe keenly the different facets of that one passage of scripture.
Listen- is when we unearth discoveries and points of wisdom God is revealing to us. It’s about moving from knowledge to application.
Encouragement for homeschool moms
Two important things which you will never regret:
Spend time with your children.
Spend time with the Lord.
