Summary
What if Bible study didn't feel dry, intimidating, or guilt-driven, but instead felt alive, honest, and deeply formative?
In this episode of The Speakeasy Podcast, Blake sits down with Faith Womack, author of No More Boring Bible Study and self-proclaimed Bible nerd, to talk about how Scripture can actually come to life in your everyday faith. Faith shares her powerful story of growing up with Scripture misused and weaponized—and how God redeemed that pain by drawing her into a deep, life-giving love for His Word.
Together, they unpack:
-
Why Bible study often feels boring (and why it doesn't have to)
-
How cultural Christianity and performance pressure distort our approach to Scripture
-
Why chasing "mountaintop moments" can actually hold us back
-
How to read the Bible with clarity, context, and confidence
-
Why it's okay to go slow, camp out, and stop treating God like a vending machine
This conversation is freeing, grounding, and incredibly practical, especially if you've ever felt overwhelmed, bored, intimidated, or burned by Bible study. Whether you're brand new to reading Scripture or have been in it for years, this episode will help you shift from pressure to presence and rediscover the beauty of God's Word.
"The Bible isn't boring, we just haven't always been taught how to read it."

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the SpeakyZ podcast. Today we are talking about something that has probably become my favorite thing to talk about. I say that as a professional yapper. We're talking about reading your Bible, specifically how it can really come to life and impact your day to day. So my guest today is Faith Wilmack. She is the author of No More Boring Bible Study, and she's also just a self-professed Bible nerd. |
| 0:24.7 | She creates a lot of content around falling in love with your Bible and how to experience it and how to read it. |
| 0:30.2 | And I loved chatting with her because she has a really, really interesting background with scripture. And it's not exactly what you |
| 0:40.9 | would expect from someone that now has, you know, made it their mission to help people love the |
| 0:46.9 | word and lean into it. She had a lot of experience with scripture being weaponized against |
| 0:51.5 | her and used out of context to perpetuate harmful narratives, |
| 0:56.4 | which I know is going to resonate with some of you that are listening. |
| 0:59.2 | And then she has her own story and her own journey of how God really drew her into it. |
| 1:05.3 | And she's also one of those, like she's not, she's not going to pull her punches. |
| 1:08.0 | So we talked about, you know, chronological Bible in a year reading plans. Are those always the best fit for everyone? Spoiler alert, no. |
| 1:16.5 | You know, and how our view and approach to reading the Bible really impacts how you're |
| 1:24.7 | going to move forward with it. So this year, I have been very clear. 2026 is about my |
| 1:30.1 | Bible, my babies, and my boo. And my Bible is at the helm of that. And there's probably going to be |
| 1:36.9 | a lot more content this year about reading your Bible because it is such a wide reaching subject. |
| 1:42.4 | You can talk to 10 people about reading your Bible and have |
| 1:45.6 | 10 completely different conversations. And so I'm excited to kind of at the front of the year, |
| 1:50.7 | kick things off this way, and I think you're really going to love it. |
| 2:00.7 | Faith, welcome to the Speak Easy. Yeah, thanks for having me. I was so excited. I mean, we already started talking, but I was like, this is going to be good. |
| 2:09.2 | I know. |
| 2:09.6 | Because you're just so easy to hang out with. |
| 2:11.1 | Same. And I was like, hey, let me start recording, because we've, like, done a podcast interview already off the air. |
| 2:17.6 | So let me hit record. |
