If there’s one book that has shaped history, families, and faith more than any other, it’s the Bible. But let’s be honest—most of us struggle to read it consistently, let alone let it sink into our everyday lives. In this episode, we’re discussing why we truly need the Bible, not just as a Sunday accessory, but as God’s living Word for our Monday mornings, our challenging seasons, and our everyday decisions.

We’ll share how to move beyond obligation and into delight, and provide you with some practical ways to engage with Scripture so it becomes less of a checklist and more of a lifeline. Grab your favorite Bible app, audio version, or physical Bible, and let’s lean in together.”
