How I Started Learning to Actually Read My Bible, Not Just Memorize It.
How I Actually Learned to Read My Bible (Not Just Memorize It)
If you've ever felt like you should know your Bible better—but didn’t know where to start—this episode is for you.
I grew up in church, went to a Christian school, and could quote Scripture… but I didn’t really understand it. It wasn’t until I got tired of surface-level devotionals and secondhand revelation that I began to truly study God’s Word for myself.
In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey from memorizing verses to studying the Bible deeply—without seminary training, theology degrees, or special credentials. Just hunger, honesty, and the Holy Spirit.
You'll learn:
- The moment that shifted how I approached the Bible
- What "hermeneutics" is and why it's essential
- How I study Scripture now (with practical steps)
- Why memorization without understanding can be dangerous
- The book that changed how I engage with God’s Word
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
- A simple process for studying the Bible on your own
- Encouragement if you’ve ever felt behind or spiritually stuck
- A deeper hunger to know the God behind the verses
