Christians should be people committed to one book - the Bible. The Bible should be read deeply, thoughtfully, and repeatedly. But what medium best allows for this type of reading? For centuries, it was a given that Christians read and studied from physical Bibles made of paper. Recent years have witnessed the introduction of ebooks read on digital devices. Modern memorizers must decide which medium they will use to learn God's Word. In this episode, our hosts will examine the pros and cons of each medium and advocate a healthy hybrid approach.

 A particular area of Christian complacency is in the arena of Scripture memory. If you memorize one verse a week or even one verse a month, you are far ahead of the average Christian. However, you shouldn't sit back and simply be content with where you are. The hunger for God's Word should be insatiable. Our hosts will deal with the real issue we can have with complacency.  God willing this episode will confront and challenge you to overcome it.
