The Basics of Bible Study & Prayer w Kelly Needham

About this episode

Kelly Needham discusses the relational nature of Bible study and prayer, emphasizing intentionality and personal connection with God.

This week on CHH, the girls are joined by their good friend Kelly Needham. Kelly shares what life looked like on the road with her husband while also pursuing her calling as a writer. She unpacks one of her biggest insights when it comes to studying the Bible: it takes time, and it’s deeply relational. Scripture isn’t complicated or exclusive; it’s for everyone. It’s simple enough for a child to understand, yet rich enough to transform your life. Kelly encourages listeners to approach reading with intention, even suggesting writing down 10 things you learn about God as you go. When it comes to prayer, she keeps it honest and freeing. Prayer is simply talking to God. Even when it doesn’t feel valuable, it is, because He is. She reminds us that the Word is living, and as you bring it into your heart and daily life, it will begin to move and shape you. Going deeper doesn’t just mean learning more, it means lingering longer. Laura closes by reminding us of the truth found in Ephesians 2:10, that God has created each of us with purpose, set apart for good works. At the heart of it all, this episode is a reminder that God is inviting you into a real, personal relationship with Him…
