Summary

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with Part One of a two-part message on gaining a genuine love for studying God's Word. As Christian women it's easy to see Bible study as a chore or obligation, without really understanding the significance or beauty of immersing in God's Word regularly. We often take an academic approach to Bible study, which causes it to feel tedious and dry. In this episode, Leslie unpacks three critical principles for shifting our mindset toward God'd Word, and helps us discover the joy and privilege of exploring Scripture from a relational - rather than a dutiful - motivation.
