If reading the Bible feels more like a chore and not an activity you look forward to each day, if it doesn't feel like it comes alive to you, or you're just unsure how to study it, then this episode is for you. I was in the same position—my relationship with the Bible was essentially non-existent. I didn't completely understand what it was or the purpose it held in my life. At some point, I was challenged to start engaging with it once again. And as I did, I began to understand it on a deeper level. I felt I was actually getting revelation, and I became eager to get into the Word and ask God questions. I explain tips that have helped me in becoming consistent in not just reading but studying the Word regularly and applying it to my life.

This discussion will teach you the practical journey to deepening intimacy with Christ, and understand the transformative power of making Jesus not just Savior, but Lord.

Have you ever found yourself striving for perfection, thinking that your efforts will make you worthy of God’s love? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we explore the powerful truth of justification—that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. No amount of striving or perfection will earn us God’s approval because it has already been given through Jesus. We’ll break down what it means to be justified in Christ, understanding that our relationship with God is based on His love and grace, not our performance. You don’t have to work for God’s love, but rather live from it. Join me as we unpack how God declares us righteous through faith, freeing us from the impossible burden of perfection.

Do you struggle to hear God's voice? In this episode we take a deep dive into the nature of listening to the voice of God, and the importance of discernment in our faith journey. I share methods to improve tuning into God's voice by providing three principles: removing distractions in our lives, giving God our undivided attention, and staying in constant communication with Him. I also discusses what might happen when we don't offer God our full attention. The podcast wraps up with emphasizing how simple yet important these principles are. We encourages everyone to maintain discipline in these principles to begin to clearly start hearing God's voice in your life. This episode was recorded awhile ago but felt it was still so applicable.
