Welcome to Tim Men of Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

My name is Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon.

I hope you're reading through Mark with us, and if not, at least you're following along in the

podcast.

We're all trying together as a community to read through the Gospel of Mark

and you can find the study guide to do that to kind of help you through that in the show

notes.

But today what we're going to talk about is just how do you read your Bible?

And I remember last episode, Patrick, you told us that reading your Bible consistently

has never been that difficult for you, which I still think is one of the most private school moments

in the history of Tim Minut Bible talks.

But why is that?

Help us understand.

Well, to be honest, I think it's that I've always felt a sense of hunger for reading the Bible.

And again, as I pointed out, there's lots of other things that I struggle to be hungry for.

One of my favorite examples, this is probably

five, six years ago. It's beginning of January, people are making resolutions and I decided that I was

going to do the whole 30. That's the thing where you cut out all the fun stuff out of your diet, sweets and carbs, the stuff that I love.

Why did you get motivated to do this, just like curiosity?

Because I've never been motivated to do the whole 30.

I mean I wanted to lose weight I heard that it makes you feel better all of those kinds of things

is that okay I need to lose some weight I wanted to feel better so I'm gonna go for it.
