The Bible Study Mistake You Don't Know You're Making
Episode 120
Have you ever finished reading your Bible only to realize your mind was somewhere else the entire time? You read the words, turned the pages, and checked the box but how much did you actually take in?
It's easy to rush through our Bible reading without realizing we're missing opportunities to understand God's Word more deeply. And sometimes, the problem isn't what we're reading, but how we're reading it.
In this episode, we're exploring another key part of our signature Dissect & Digest Bible study method: learning to slow down when we read Scripture. We'll talk about why it's worth taking our time with God's Word, paying attention to what we're actually reading, and resisting the urge to rush through a passage just to say we've finished it.
If you've ever struggled with distracted Bible reading, wondered how to get more out of your daily quiet time, or wanted to learn how to study the Bible more effectively, this episode will encourage you to approach Scripture with fresh intention.

You Know The Verse, But Do You Know The Story?
Episode 119
You know that Bible verse you love? The one you've heard quoted over and over again?
What if you've never actually read what comes before it...or after it, for that matter?
There's a Bible study mistake that's incredibly easy to make because it can happen even when we're faithfully reading God's Word. We find a meaningful verse, pull it out, and focus on what it seems to say on its own. But Scripture was never meant to be read one verse at a time, disconnected from the words surrounding it.
In this episode, we're diving into another key part of our signature Dissect & Digest Bible study method: learning to slow down and read the context of a Bible passage. You'll see why the verses surrounding a familiar passage of Scripture matter and how paying attention to the bigger picture can change the way you understand what you're reading.
If you've ever wondered how to study the Bible more accurately, understand Scripture in context, avoid taking Bible verses out of context, or move beyond simply reading familiar verses, this episode will give you a simple habit to start practicing the next time you open your Bible.
Because sometimes the verse you've been reading for years has more to say when you finally read the rest of the story.
👉 Ready to take the next step? If you want a practical way to spend more intentional time in God's Word, our Pray the Word 365-day journal is a great companion for your daily Bible time. Each day includes Scripture and guided prayers, along with space for you to write prayers of your own, giving you a simple way to stay in God's Word and respond to it throughout the year.

Learning To Wrestle With Scripture
Episode 118
What do you do when you read a passage of Scripture and find yourself asking, “But what does this really mean?”
Sometimes the best Bible study begins with a question.
In this episode, we’re looking at one part of our signature Dissect & Digest Bible study method: learning how to ask better questions and then let Scripture interpret Scripture by following cross references and searching the Bible for answers. Instead of rushing past the parts of God’s Word that make us stop and think, what if those questions are actually an invitation to dig deeper?
You’ll see how cross-referencing Scripture can open up connections you may have never noticed and help you move beyond simply reading the Bible to genuinely studying God’s Word.
If you’ve ever wanted to understand the Bible better, learn how to study Scripture for yourself, or wondered how to know what a passage means in its larger biblical context, this conversation will give you a simple place to start.
So grab your Bible and come wrestle with Scripture with us.
👉 Ready to take the next step? If you want a practical way to continue putting God’s Word into your everyday life, check out Pray the Word, a 365-day prayer journal. Each day includes Scripture, guided prayers, and space for you to write prayers of your own, helping you spend intentional time praying God’s Word throughout the year.
