Algorithms make great entertainers—but terrible shepherds. In this practical follow-up, we explore how to approach the Bible as an opportunity for encounter, not an obligation to check off, and how to set wise guardrails so social media, YouTube, and podcasts don’t disciple your emotions more than Jesus does. You’ll get a Jesus-first on-ramp for Scripture, a simple “digital rule of life,” and a gentle framework for spiritual disciplines that runs on grace, not perfectionism.

What You’ll Learn

• The Shepherd Test: three questions to discern whether a voice sounds like Jesus or just stirs your emotions.
• Digital Stoplight: a quick check (green/yellow/red) to know when to pause your feed and return to Scripture.
• Bible as Opportunity: a doable daily method to meet Jesus, plus an 8-week reading path (Gospels → Acts → big story threads → life in Christ).
• Foundation Building: how to read whole books, compare translations, and practice a weekly Berean habit.
• Disciplines Without Perfectionism: the two-bucket approach (abstaining & engaging) and a minimal viable rule of life you can actually sustain.
• 14-Day Starter Plan: small steps to reset digital inputs and turn Scripture into lived practice.

God is love is more than a comforting phrase, it is God’s very nature. In this Buddy Walk with Jesus episode, we unpack what Scripture means by love that starts with God, not our performance (1 John 4:7–18). We explore how His love drives out fear, secures our identity, and reshapes everyday life with Jesus. We walk through Jesus’ prayer for real communion with the Father (John 17:3) and the unbreakable assurance of Romans 8:31–39, then contrast “God loves me when…” with “God loves me, therefore…”. You will hear a simple framework, Initiation, Communion, Overflow, and a few accessible practices that move love from head knowledge into lived experience. If you feel worn out, ashamed, or unsure where you stand with God, this conversation will invite you to rest, receive, and become a conduit of love to others.
