Deepening Your Faith: A Journey Through Scripture
As Christians, we hold the Bible in high esteem as the very word of God. It’s essential to spend quality time getting to know and love Him through its pages. However, simply reading it casually may not be enough to allow the word to have a profound impact on our hearts and lives.
The Importance of Effort and Study Methods
Jen Wilkin, author of Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds, reminds us that being a disciple of Christ means being a learner. And learning requires both effort and effective study methods. Just as we understand the importance of good study habits in our academic pursuits, we should also recognize their value in following Christ.
Practical Guidance for Women
Wilkin’s best-selling book offers practical guidance and helpful tips for women seeking to deepen their study of the Bible and learn how to teach others to do the same. Through five video sessions, she walks viewers through the first chapter of the book of James, providing five helpful ways to study the Bible and let its message sink deep into their hearts.
Additional Study Resources
To complement this study, you can also access the video Bible reading plan via the ESV Bible app or website. A downloadable bookmark outlining the 6 Ps of Sound Bible Study is also available.
Building Biblical Literacy in Children
With intentionality and guidance, adults can help lay a foundation of biblical literacy in children from an early age. This foundation can have a lasting impact on their faith and worldview.
