Study God’s Word Without a Devotion (Intro)


No devotion. No Bible Study. Just you, the Lord, and solid Bible study methods.

Imagine waking up every morning, ready to dive into Scripture and engage directly with God’s Word.

Over the next four weeks, I’ll share a different, but simple Bible study method to help you study Scripture on your own.

Cultivate the skills to study the Bible well.

I have a background in biblical languages and training in how to study the Bible using different methods. I’m not an expert, but someone who believes everyone can study the Bible for themselves with simple tools.

Learn some quality methods you can use again and again.

Some of the Bible study methods I’ll share are used around the world. You can study the Bible and rightly handle God’s Word.

Grow in treasuring Jesus and the Word.

My goal is to make studying the Bible attainable. 

Curious about the four methods I’ll share? Let me give you an overview of what we’ll unpack in the coming four weeks:

1) In-depth Bible Study: I’ll walk through seven steps to help you dive deeply into Bible study on your own. You’ll learn to observe, interpret, and discover applications based off the text you studied.

2) SPECKA: SPECKA is an interactive Bible study method that is used around the world to dive into the Word and get everyone involved in talking about a Bible passage. SPECKA is an acronym that makes it easy to remember this study technique.

3) Journal Questions: Utilizing five simple questions, you’ll be equipped to unpack a passage of Scripture.

4) Lectio Divina: Learn an ancient tradition of Scripture reading and contemplation that slows us down and helps us reflect on a passage of Scripture in meaningful ways.

Ready to grow your Bible study skills in the coming month? Get equipped to study the Bible and have more tools to do so well.

Starting January 1st, I’ll post how to do one of these methods here on my blog. 

Simple. Free.

Let’s do this!
