Summary
The questions of how I study my Bible and which Bible I read or recommend are two of the most popular questions I receive (by far!)
On this episode, I am sharing practical tips on how to read and study the Word and the importance of not making this a black-and-white experience.
I discuss why we should shift our perspective about church and scripture-reading, why I believe the promise of "quiet time" can be a lie and a distraction, my opinion on devotionals and podcasts and why the Word is so powerful and pertinent to our lives.
Follow along with me on IG @livingeasywithlindsey, and if you haven't had a chance to rate and review the podcast on iTunes, it would mean so much if you could take a second to share a few words about how this podcast has impacted you!
