How to Read The Bible with Maddie Ward

Listen Later

Questions:

1. What is one piece of advice you would tell the younger you?

2. What does it mean to read the bible? When people use that phrase or say that, do they mean to literally just open up the bible starting in genesis and read or to flip to psalms?

  • 30 Days to understanding the bible link is below:
    • https://www.amazon.com/Days-Understanding-Bible-Max-Anders/dp/1418545945
    • Trying to get an understanding of the Bible as a whole so when you read you know what part of the story that fits in to

      • 3. I have always heard and used the phrase “Quiet Time”. Is this the same thing as reading the Bible or what exactly is a “Quiet Time” and what does that look like?

      • Praying, reading, and praying is the model that Maddie uses
      • QTs are different from person to person but they consist of you + Jesus just growing in intimacy

        • 4. How do you effectively read the bible and get the most out of it?

        5. Are there specific resources you use that help you do this such as apps, books, or devotionals?

        • Bible project videos are really great to overview each book of the bible and they even have different reading plans
        • Literal word app to look at the original word for the greek or Hebrew version of the word

          • 6. What would you say to a beginner or maybe someone who has never really read the bible or had QTs and possibly struggles to just open it up and read?

          • Be patient with yourself but also be proud and give yourself credit because you are just learning and trying to understand the character of God

            • 7. What about the person who has read for a while and maybe followed Jesus for a longer time? How can they more effectively read the bible so they are growing in intimacy with God?

            • Be wary of not being prideful or pushing off the word of God thinking you already know it all, we are called to be a student of the word and be constantly growing in God.

              • We hope you will share this with a friend, follow us on social media, or give us a review so we can reach and encourage more women! See you NEXT TUESDAY for another episode!
