Have you ever felt like Bible study is just out of reach? Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re not smart enough, you’re too busy, or you’ve failed too many times before to try again.

In John 17:17, Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” His Word is not meant to weigh us down with guilt—it’s meant to lift us up in freedom.

In this episode, we’ll uncover 3 common lies that keep us from Bible study and the truth that sets us free.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• Why Bible study isn’t for the spiritually elite, it’s for the spiritually hungry
• How even five minutes in Scripture can shape your day in powerful ways
• Why failure doesn’t disqualify you, and how God’s mercy meets you every single time you open His Word
• Reflection questions to help you identify which lie has been whispering in your ear and the truth you need to cling to

Have you ever prayed for God to give you something back, only to find He gave you something completely different instead?

In Psalm 23:3a, David writes, “He restores my soul.” That little word “restores” is rich with meaning. In Hebrew, it’s shoob, to turn back, to renew, to repent, to be brought to life again. Restoration doesn’t mean business as usual. It means being welcomed into something greater than before.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• How synonyms and translations of “restore” reveal wholeness, renewal, and even catching our breath
• Biblical pictures of restoration: the prodigal son, Peter’s restoration, and Judah’s return from exile
• Insights from commentaries that remind us God restores both when we’ve strayed and when we’re simply spent
• How the enemy twists restoration into striving, and how God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 12:9 frees us with grace
• Angie’s story of recovery from a head-on car crash and how God used it to bring restoration deeper than she ever imagined

Have you ever felt guilty for slowing down?

In a culture that glorifies hustle, rest can feel like weakness. But Psalm 23:2a says something different. This week, we’re looking at the word “makes” and discovering how God’s insistence on rest is an act of love.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• How the Hebrew meaning of “makes” deepens our understanding of God’s care
• Why true rest isn’t something we earn, but something we receive from the Shepherd
• The story of how Sabbath led to a new family tradition, Sunday Linner, and the unexpected ways God used it to knit our hearts together
• How to replace the enemy’s lie that rest is weakness with the truth that Jesus invites the weary to come to Him
