Why You Struggle to Read the Bible (And How to Fix It)

32 minutes

In this powerful episode of Men After God, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into one of the most essential—but often overlooked—spiritual disciplines: Bible reading.

Together, they unpack the real-life struggles Christian men face when it comes to engaging with God’s Word—like time constraints, distractions, shame, and even imposter syndrome. This episode isn’t just theory; it’s packed with practical frameworks, heart-level honesty, and a clear call to consistency and connection with God.

You'll learn why discipline is actually freedom, how to stop seeing the Bible as a checklist, and how to begin seeing it as a conversation with a Father who wants to speak directly to you.

👉 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Discipline is freedom.
✔️ Overcoming shame is crucial for spiritual growth.
✔️ Consistency in Bible reading is key to spiritual health.
✔️ The Bible should be a conversation, not just a checklist.
