"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him.” (Philippians 3:7-9a)

Have you ever felt like studying the Bible will never get easier? What do you do about that? In today's episode, Kate is going to address two potential causes for this feeling. Then she'll offer four fresh bits of perspective to encourage you on this awesome (but, challenging) Bible study journey. Nothing worth having comes easy, and abiding in God through His Word is no exception!

This is part six in our seven-part "Question" series.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18, KJV)

Do you have a clear vision for your study of God's Word? Without vision, you're apt to continue in the cycle of inconsistent (or non-existent) study. Kate isn't here to just help you study your Bible until next Tuesday. She wants to help you grow into someone who studies their Bible daily for the rest of their days on planet earth. In today’s episode, “Where Should I Start?,” Kate does get practical about where to start, but it might not be where you think.

"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith." (Hebrews 12:1b-2a, ESV)
 
On today’s episode, “Why Study the Bible Myself?” Kate challenges, like a running coach, all those who call themselves Christians to something more. No more showing up to this thing called life and just winging it. No more trying to run the race with no starting line or starting time, no mapped out course, and no clear finish line. By the end of this episode, you'll have clear direction so you can start moving forward with the intention and purpose God has for you.

This is part three in our seven-part "Question" series.

"Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely. Such infinite majesty, and yet such meekness and grace, and all for sinners, even the chief! Live much in the smiles of God. Bask in his beams." (Robert M’Cheyne)
 
Need a vision for what your daily study could look like? You're in the right place. The main purpose of this new seven-part series is to cast a vision so beautiful that you won’t be able to wait to jump in and start abiding in God through His Word yourself. But before Kate jumps into all things Abidible, she realized she should probably pause and more formally introduce herself and the man behind Abidible, her husband Jason.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." (Luke 4:18-19, ESV)

Know someone who doesn't know and love God? Breaking news! God wants to use you to help overturn the life sentence of your loved one who doesn't yet know Him. He wants you to be relentless until they are free. On today's episode, Kate will help you understand how your study of God's Word actually prepares you to be able to prepare the way in that person's heart for God. This is a really important episode!

“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14, ESV)

What are you running to instead of the Word of God? This is the question on today's episode: "If Not the Word, Then What?" Kate suggests that the more you run to other things in place of God, what happens is that instead of finding life, you actually become numb and number. It's time to take a look at all the things you use to numb yourself and why you run to them. Then Kate will encourage you with Jesus’ special cure for numbness.

Have you ever thought this thought? "I'll start studying my Bible once..." (fill in the blank). On today’s episode, “If Not Now, Then When?" Kate looks at the infirmity of “not now” that is plaguing so many believers. Then, she offers a cure to this "disease," and finally, she shares some practical tips to help you take one step forward today. May God supernaturally give you the power right now to begin consistently abiding in Him.
