Hi, I'm Tessa. I'm the creator of the solo dance show "Inner Reformation: an Autobiography Danced." It's my life story danced out! In 2005, I graduated as a dance performance major. Then, I studied theology, graduating in 2010.  Since my 20's, I've been reading Scripture and created a year-long Bible study -- written in the year 2020. Hence, the study's title: Luke/Acts 2020.

Midway through this project, however, I ran out of steam. With writing my autobiography, perfecting my solo dance show, and with the advent of COVID, I needed to take a break from this year-long effort. Thankfully, the entire book of Luke was completed in 2020 (though I continue to perfect it). You can find the first 24 weeks of Luke below. 

Within the next five years, by 2024, I intend to complete this year-long Bible study, writing about the book of Acts, which is my favorite book in Scripture. It's also good to note that I wrote the first 24 weeks of Luke during some of my greatest pain — as I struggled with my faith.

This Bible study is free for use, and I hope it can coincide with my autobiography (i.e., with my dance and my book). May it be a blessing to many.

Since this is a devotional, it's meant to serve as an opportunity for people to read God's word and learn, and to hopefully grow closer with the Lord. You'll notice that in it, we read and study whole books of Scripture because I believe that's how we can really dive in and learn best.

Also, if you've never read an entire book of the Bible before, this a great place to start! This study is designed to be done one day per week or spread throughout the week (there's plenty to digest!). You can decide how you'd like to approach it.

You'll find access to each week below. Enjoy!

Please note: 
Though I have a theology degree, I'm not a scholar.

Specifically, when I give dates, locations, names, and so on
a host of people could disagree with what I present.

Nonetheless, I've tried to write a devotional for you.
While incomplete, I hope this study can help you grow in your walk with Christ.  
Enjoy the Journey!
