Trade a Lie for a Truth

LIE: Bible study is for Experts only vs. TRUTH: God’s Word Is for Everyone (with Kristin Nave @shelovesbible)


Listen Later

Ever felt like deep Bible study is only for pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, or scholars full of commentaries and Hebrew concordances? I mean, they have degrees in that stuff. They’re trained in theology. They just GET the Bible in a way ordinary Christians don’t. But... me? I’m just normal. I love Jesus and I believe the Bible is God’s very Word that I respect and honor, but I didn’t go to seminary, I’m not bilingual, and I wouldn’t even know where to start.

 

Join Kristin Nave and podcast host Heidi Lee Anderson to dismantle the lie that deep Bible study is just for experts. They share honest stories, relatable struggles, and practical ways to approach Scripture--with or without a seminary degree.

 

You’ll hear:

  • Why Bible study is for every believer—not just the “professionals”
  • Deep study doesn't always mean complex methods
  • Highlighting and journaling can enhance Bible study
  • The role community plays in understanding Scripture
  • Simple, doable tips for studying the Bible with confidence
  • How God’s mercy meets us right where we are—not where we think we “should” be
  • Kristin reminds us that God’s Word was never meant to be locked behind titles, training, or theology degrees. This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to open your Bible with curiosity, freedom, and expectation.

    Whether you’re brand new to Scripture or returning after feeling disqualified, this conversation will remind you: you are invited to the table.
