What if the Bible isn't difficult... we've just never been taught how to study it?

In this episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Bible teacher, author, and content creator Faith Womack, author of No More Boring Bible Study. Together, we dive into what it truly means to study God's Word—not out of obligation, but from a desire to know Him more deeply.

Faith shares her powerful testimony of growing up in a home where Scripture was often misused and how God used that experience to ignite a passion for rightly handling His Word. Her journey reminds us that every believer is called to know the truth of Scripture for themselves.

We also discuss:

-Why so many Christians feel intimidated by Bible study

-How to overcome the fear of "not knowing enough"

-What hermeneutics really means (and why it isn't as scary as it sounds)

-Understanding Bible translations and how to use multiple versions wisely

-Helpful Bible study tools that anyone can use

-Why this generation has more access to biblical resources than ever before

-How studying Scripture deepens our relationship with Christ

-The importance of rightly dividing God's Word in a world full of misinformation

-Why every believer—not just pastors or Bible scholars—is called to study Scripture

One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that God has equipped us to know His Word. We don't have to have a seminary degree to open our Bible with confidence. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, and when we approach Scripture with humility and a willingness to learn, God is faithful to reveal Himself.

Faith also shares the Scripture that keeps her anchored—Hebrews 12:1-2—and encourages us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we faithfully run the race He has set before us.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by Bible study or wondered where to begin, this conversation will encourage you to take the next step. Don't settle for simply reading God's Word—learn to treasure it, understand it, and allow it to transform your life.
