4 | How to Study the Bible: Keeping the Flame Burning

Have you ever opened your Bible and thought, “Where do I even start?” or “How do I understand this?” You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving into how to study Scripture in a way that helps you grow closer to God, hear His voice, and apply His truth to your everyday life.

We’ll talk about the difference between simply reading the Bible and actually studying it, why God’s Word is our guide (Psalm 119:105), and how He reminded Joshua to meditate on His Word day and night for strength and courage (Joshua 1:8). I’ll share my own journey of feeling unqualified when leading a Bible study, and how God’s Word gave me wisdom and confidence every step of the way.

Together, we’ll explore practical Bible study methods—from devotional reading and book studies to deeper tools like inductive, topical, character, and word studies. I’ll also walk you through simple frameworks like SOAP that can help Scripture feel approachable, even on your busiest days. You’ll leave with encouragement, tools, and fresh confidence to make God’s Word part of your daily rhythm.

This episode will remind you that the Bible is more than just a book—it’s God’s love letter to you, the very flame that lights your path and keeps your candle burning bright. I’ll challenge you this week to pick one study method, choose a passage, and let God meet you in His Word.

So grab your Bible, light your candle, cozy up with your favorite fall drink, and join me as we keep the flame burning—because her candle still burns, and His light never fades. ✨
