How to Read the Bible for Clarity, Understanding & Application

 

What if reading the Bible didn’t feel confusing or overwhelming?

Too many believers struggle to stay consistent with Bible reading because they don’t know how to approach it in a way that brings clarity and transformation.

In this episode of Courageous Disciples, we break down practical strategies to help you read the Bible with confidence, gain deeper understanding, and actually apply it to your daily life.

I’m joined by Luverta Reames of The Author Prayer Series, who is on a mission to read the Bible in 90 days. Together, we cover:

✔ How understanding literary genres, writing styles, and cultural context transforms your Bible study [02:48] ✔ The best study Bibles, handbooks, and digital tools to enhance your understanding [09:49] ✔ How to make Bible reading interactive so it doesn’t feel dry or disconnected [11:30] ✔ The role of community and accountability in staying consistent [17:46] ✔ Why having a clear vision and plan is the key to building a lasting Bible reading habit [19:56]

If you’ve ever felt confused, or disconnected in your Bible reading, this episode will give you practical steps to turn that around.

🔹 After listening, you’ll be able to:

• Read the Bible with greater clarity and confidence
