| Introduction | I am a Jesus follower. My faith began when I was 12yrs old, yet much of my adulthood was filled with questions. I was told, “Read the Bible and you’ll understand,” and “study to show thyself approved” (2 Timothy 2:15). I took that advice seriously. I’ve read the whole bible probably five times, but for years, something was missing. Scripture felt like a task to complete rather than a voice to hear. I’d finish reading with a mental check mark and retain very little. 54 years after choosing to follow Jesus, I experienced a spiritual shift. In January 2025, during a month of prayer and fasting with the church we attend, Scripture began to come alive. I wasn’t just reading words; I was hearing them. Renewal was happening. Yet by the end of the year, after completing another reading of the Bible, I had slipped back into old habits. I retained more than before, but still not to my satisfaction. That realization brings me here. This blog is my commitment to read the Bible this year and truly hear it- to listen beyond words on the page and learn from the true WORD (John 1:1). I invite you to join me as we explore Scripture together, seeking not just understanding, but transformation. |
