Episode Summary:

Welcome back to The Light Podcast! I'm Marlene Wilber, the founder of the Light Bible Study Ministry. Our ministry is dedicated to equipping students to lead Bible studies at school, encouraging them to discover the Bible as a supernatural resource for growing and maturing in their relationship with Jesus, rather than just another book on the shelf.

In this episode, we continue our journey into understanding the Bible by diving deeper into the importance of Bible study. I'll share my personal story of how I truly learned to study Scripture as an adult, and the profound impact it had on my life. Whether you're a seasoned Bible reader or just starting out, this episode will equip you with four essential Bible study techniques that will transform your approach to Scripture:

1. Start with Prayer: Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance for understanding and applying the Word.
2. Decide What to Study: Choose a focused topic, book, or character to explore in-depth.
3. Take Notes: Record insights, revelations, and applications directly in your Bible for future reference.
4. Go Slow: Focus on the quality of your study, allowing Scripture to deeply resonate in your heart.

We’ll also discuss how studying Scripture with intention and depth can build a strong foundation of faith, leading to a daily hunger for God’s Word.
