0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. |
0:10.6 | If you've ever closed your Bible and thought, what did I just read? The Bible recap is for you. |
0:17.8 | And the good news is, you're not alone. Lots of people struggle in their relationship |
0:21.4 | with scripture. Most people who struggle try to stick to the Psalms and Proverbs, because at least |
0:25.5 | those make sense to them. Or maybe they flip around in their Bible and try to find something |
0:29.0 | relatable, but then they hit something confusing or off-putting, and they can't seem to make sense |
0:32.8 | of how it all fits together. Maybe they decide to start a Bible reading plan, usually at the beginning of a year |
0:37.5 | when they're working on Nears resolutions. They launch out with ambition and zeal on January 1, |
0:42.3 | but they begin to lose interest in a few weeks, and by mid-February, they've fallen off the wagon |
0:46.0 | altogether. This was me, too. It was like, okay, I've read through Genesis eight times, |

0:59.1 | because you're only comfortable with Scripture after Jesus seems to show up on the scene. |
1:03.0 | Maybe you didn't know he's actually throughout the Old Testament as well, that it's actually |
1:06.6 | all about him. Some people are so perplexed by scripture that they just leave their Bible on the shelf |
1:11.6 | and use a daily devotional instead. They figure, obviously, I'm not capable of hearing from God |
1:16.3 | firsthand, so I'll just hear from him secondhand. Don't get me wrong, some devotionals are great. |
1:20.9 | I love some of the stuff by Spurgeon and Chambers, but a lot of the things we're consuming |
1:24.4 | today are self-focused or fluffy, bordering on self-help. It's |
1:28.4 | basically Tony Robbins in a prayer shawl, not that there's anything wrong with that. Maybe you've |
1:32.2 | tried at all, and you wonder if you'll ever love reading the actual Bible, or if you'll always just |
1:36.9 | feel intimidated by it. Are you tired of losing steam after six weeks? Or maybe you've never tried |
