Bible Study for Busy Christians: Context, Red Letters, and Real Growth

Got a question or comment? Send us a text!

How do you study the Bible when life is loud, toddlers are wild, and your soul is tired? In this episode, Taylor and I get super practical about building a simple, sustainable study rhythm that actually shapes your walk with Jesus. We talk box-breathing to settle your body, reading whole letters as letters, Old Testament timelines, red-letter focus in Matthew/John, word studies, translations, and learning to “present yourself to the Holy Spirit” and let Him grow you.

You’ll hear:
 • How study makes your faith yours—not just something you were handed
• Simple tools for overwhelmed parents (and busy humans)
• Why context matters (and how to get it without a seminary degree)
• What to do when study feels dry, distant, or you’re low-key angry at God
• A grace-filled starting plan you can try this week
