Hey friends,

Let’s be honest, studying the Bible as a busy parent can feel overwhelming. We want to be in the Word, but sometimes we just don’t know where to start. Today’s episode is a lifeline if you’ve ever stared at your Bible and thought, “I want to read this… I just don’t know how.”

I’m so excited for you to hear from Faith Womack (aka Bible Nerd), who is on a mission to help people fall in love with scripture in a way that’s approachable, meaningful, and, dare we say…fun. This conversation is the reminder we all need that Bible study isn’t about performance; it’s about presence. And it is possible to make time for God’s Word in our full and fast-moving lives.

Here are a few things Faith shared that really stuck with me:

• Bible study doesn’t have to be intense or intimidating, it’s an invitation, not a test.
• The Gospels make an incredible starting point when you need a reset or a place to re-engage with Jesus.
• We model a love of scripture to our kids not with perfection, but by simply showing up with curiosity and consistency.
• Worship can happen while we study, it’s not just something we do after we understand everything.

Whether you’re brand new to Bible study or just need some fresh encouragement, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath of grace and motivation.

Faith is the founder of Bible Nerd Ministries, where she equips Christians to understand and enjoy scripture. Her new book, No More Boring Bible Study, is a practical and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to connect with God’s Word in a real and transformative way. Faith’s mission is to help people study the Bible with joy, confidence, and depth, no seminary degree required. She lives with her husband and kids and is passionate about making the Bible accessible to everyone.

Let’s start where we are, open our Bibles, and remember that God delights in meeting us there.

With love,

Steph
