  1. Episode 21 Faith Unfiltered: More than Trying: How We Read the Word

    Season 1, Episode 21

    Show notes

    In this episode of my More Than Trying mini-series, I am talking about how we read and study God's Word. I share some different ways to approach Bible study and some practical things that can help you move beyond just reading Scripture to actually understanding it and applying what you're learning to your everyday life. Because we're not just reading the Word to check a box — we're training to live it out.
