What you are saying, Crystal, literally changed for me everything about the way I read and studied the Bible.

Our hope is as we talk about these mistakes together and learn from them that we would just all grow together in our love of God.

I feel like often the problem there is that we're focusing more on the people around us in what their journeys of studying scripture look like compared to

ours. Hey everyone, JJ here and welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are sharing a special

re-air from our mistakes we've made in Bible study series. In this episode, Crystal and Shelby

dive into a struggle that many of us face, quitting deep

Bible study before we even get started.

Whether you're feeling too busy, intimidated, or struggling with apathy, this conversation

is packed with encouragement.

They remind us that our ability to understand scripture comes from the Holy Spirit,

and studying the word is not a checklist, but a source of life.

We truly hope and pray that this episode encourages you to take that next step in God's Word.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast. We are really excited about today's conversation because all summer, we're going to be talking through mistakes that we have made in Bible City. We've made a lot of mistakes. We've also learned a lot from those mistakes. And our hope is as we talk about these mistakes together and learn from them that we would just all grow together in our love of God and of his word and just that we

would grow in confidence to get into the word ourselves. And that's kind of a little bit of a hit

of what we're going to be talking about in today's episode. But first, we're going to do something

a little bit different. Shelby, this was your idea. So you have to do it first. We're going to talk about

our favorite things this week, but you have to do it in 15

seconds or less. Are you ready? Do you have a timer? Are you going to time me?

Can I do the really loud? Burr, burr, when you're done. All right. All right, ready, set, go. Yeah, I'm ready. Okay. Favorite thing in 15 seconds. My favorite thing right now is my little eyebrow razor because I don't have to wax or pluck. I can just like shave off those little eyebrow hairs that are growing out of place. They're super cheap and awesome. Was that 15 seconds? That sure was.

Oh, yes. My alarm just went off. Good job.

Oh, yes. We still wanted to include favorite things, but these are short episodes. So we had to

fit them in. Okay. Are you ready for your favorite thing in 15 seconds or less, Crystal?
