How to Study the Bible: 5 Practical Steps to Build a Plan That Sticks


Listen Later

Have you ever picked up your Bible and thought, "Now what?" You're not alone — and this episode is the answer.

In Part 2 of our Bible series, Bryce and Colette Schaffer get practical about how to study the Bible — from choosing a starting point, to building a realistic reading plan, to making God's Word come alive in your everyday life.

Whether you're a new believer or someone who's been in church for years but feels like your Bible study has grown stale, this conversation will encourage and equip you to get into the Word in a way that actually works for your life and season.

You'll discover:

  • Why Bible translation matters when you study (and which to choose)
  • The best places to start reading if you're new to the Bible
  • 5 simple, powerful steps to build a Bible study habit you'll stick with
  • How to read the Bible with your spouse and grow together spiritually
  • How to pass a love for God's Word on to your kids — without forcing it
  • Creative, joyful ways to engage Scripture: journaling, highlighting, creative lettering, and more
  • Trusted Bible study tools and why to be cautious with Google

Grounded in scripture — including Hebrews 4:12, John 8:31–32, and Proverbs 4:20–22 — this episode reminds us that the Word of God is living, active, and meant to be a daily source of life, wisdom, and growth.
