Mistakes We’ve Made in Bible Study: Not Reading in Community

Show Notes: In today’s episode, Shelby and Krystal discuss the pitfalls of reading the Bible alone as well as the incredible value in reading the Bible in community.

Mistakes We’ve Made in Bible Study: Spiritual Self Help

What does it mean to read the Bible as spiritual self-help and why is it a mistake? When we read the Bible as spiritual self-help, then we approach it as a tool that helps us become a better version of ourselves rather than as the Word of God that should completely transform our lives. We chat all about how to spot when you’re making this mistake and how to avoid it in this episode!

Mistakes We’ve Made in Bible Study: Applying the Bible to Everyone Except Ourselves

Today's episode is part of our Mistakes We've Made in Bible Study summer series and we’re talking about the mistake of reading the Bible in order to apply it to other people, but not ourselves. Have you ever left your personal Bible study time thinking that someone else needed to hear the truths of Scripture that you read more than you?   In today’s episode, Krystal and Shelby chat through the varying ways they’ve made this mistake, what they’ve learned from it, and how they seek to avoid it.

Mistakes We’ve Made in Bible Study: Reading with our Heart and Not Our Head

This is the second episode in our Mistakes We've Made in Bible Study series and we're talking about the mistake of reading with our heart and not our head. What do we mean by reading with our heart and not our head? We mean that we decide what Scripture means by feeling only and not by fact. While our hearts should absolutely be engaged in Bible reading, when we read with only our hearts and not our heads, we run the risk of an incomplete or incorrect interpretation. And that can lead us to misunderstand who God is and how He relates to His people.   So… learn from our mistake!
