What is the secret to getting started and maintain a consistent Bible reading habit? In this episode we share tips on how to cultivate a lifelong Bible reading routine and the strength it offers. Learn how I embraced the principles from James Clear's Atomic Habits - making it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying - to not just read, but to develop a life long Bible reading habit. Hear how setting a specific time and place, using visual reminders, finding a Bible translation that speaks to you, and starting with a manageable reading goal has helped me in my spiritual journey.
Coupling prayer with Bible reading can compound spiritual growth. Discover how an accountability partner or joining a Bible study group can help you stay consistent. The power of additional activities like journaling or listening to worship music during reading sessions can significantly enhance your experience. I'll walk you through my personal journey, the struggles I faced, and how I managed to build a consistent Bible reading practice. I've got some recommendations on what to read first and how to make your Bible reading sessions satisfying. Let's embark on this spiritual journey together, remembering that building a habit requires time and dedication. Don't wait for tomorrow, start today!
