About this episode

This episode explores the importance of personal Bible reading for spiritual growth and how it can lead to real, lasting change in one's life.

Research has shown that personal Bible reading is the most powerful discipline for spiritual growth - and yet many of us struggle to make it happen consistently or to get much from it if we do.
