Summary

Do you feel like you need a pretty coffee mug and picture-perfect setup before you can open your Bible? Do you rely on pretty Pinterest verses or Christian Instagram captions as the basis of your faith and knowledge of God? If so, you will quickly find that that won't outlast life's storms - and it surely won't offer you salvation or an assurance of your faith.

On today's episode, Phylicia Masonheimer and Lindsey Maestas are discussing the importance of knowing God's word for yourself. She shares practical steps and tips regarding how to study the Bible and truly understand it on your own. 

Phylicia also discusses her new book, Stop Calling Me Beautiful, about finding soul-deep strength in a skin deep world. This book is full of SO much wisdom and challenging encouragement. It will leave you longing for more of Jesus - and nothing less.

You guys often ask who I learn from on social media and who I like to follow and

0:04.6

Felicia Masonheimer is one of those people. She was introduced to me about a

0:08.8

year ago and ever since then I've watched her grow and flourish and she recently published a book

0:14.0

called Stop Calling Me Beautiful, which I could not get my hands on soon enough

because the whole premise of the book is about digging deep into the gospel ourselves.

0:23.6

We may have a tendency to allow the words,

0:25.9

you are enough, or you are beautiful,

you are worthy to flow from our mouths,

0:29.7

or to be a temporary band-aid on our hearts.

0:32.4

But when we're dealing with real anxiety, real depression,

0:35.6

real loneliness, that doesn't do it for us.

0:38.7

We need to know the God of the Bible ourselves.

0:41.9

We need to know who he says that he is and who he says

0:45.2

that we are in him. So with that said today we are talking about how to study the

0:50.0

Bible. I think we can have a tendency to wait until the perfect moment to study our

0:55.2

Bible and to think that we need a coffee cup and we need everything set up to

0:59.2

look beautiful just this Instagram Bible study in order to read the word of God. But that is a lie and

1:05.4

Satan wants to distract us from truth and he does exactly that. So I want to

1:10.4

encourage you all to listen in today with a heart to get to know God to study the word,

1:15.1

to dig deep, and to know him for who he is rather than who Instagram says that he is or rather

1:21.6

than just reading a few verses at a time.

1:23.4

So let's dive into this quick and practical interview with Felicia Masonheimer.
