Welcome to the Gospel Coalition podcast, equipping the next generation of believers,

pastors, and church leaders to shape life and ministry around the gospel.

On today's episode, you'll hear a panel discussion on how to study the Bible from

TGC's

2020-24 Women's Conference.

For our panel discussion, how to study the Bible and nourish your hungry soul.

We are grateful to Crossway for sponsoring this breakout session.

Crossway publishes gospel-centered Bible-based content

that aims to honor our Savior and serve his church. You can visit their booth in the exhibit

hall to learn more. Well, ladies, Psalm 119, verse 20, has been on my mind as we've prepared for our panel today.

The psalmist writes this,

My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.

Consumed with longing,

what would it look like to have that kind of hunger for God's Word?

To approach my Bible not just as a book of information

or something to check off my reading plan, but as an encounter with a living

person whose words impart life. And so that's what we're here to talk about today,

cultivating a hunger for God's word as well as some practical strategies for studying the scriptures.

If you've ever felt discouraged or guilty about your engagement with the Bible,

if you'd like to grow in your desire for it and your pursuit of it, you're in the right

place. Well, my name is Kristen Weatherall, and I'll be serving as

your moderator today. My husband, Brad, and I are members of the Orchard in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
