Want to read your Bible more, but honestly don't feel like it? You're not alone, and you’re not a bad Christian.
Most of us assume the fix is more of all the things: Print the reading plan, set the alarm, try harder this time. But trying harder doesn’t work.
And it usually isn't a time problem either. (We find time to scroll our phones, after all.)
So if you're a busy Christian mom who never seems to have the motivation to read your Bible, this one's for you.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why "every single day, first thing in the morning" isn't a biblical command (yes, I went back and checked)
- How to figure out what time in Scripture can realistically look like in your season
- Five common ways we misread the Bible, like treating it as a rule book or an instruction manual, and why each one makes Scripture feel boring
- What the Bible actually is, and why that makes you want to keep reading
- A simple, honest prayer for the days you just don't want to
- What long-distance running (and getting my kids to eat broccoli) taught me about not quitting before it gets good
You don't have to guilt yourself into loving God's Word. Take the pressure off, start small, and give it a little time. The wanting to really does come.
