Where Do I Start? (Bible Reading, Journaling, & Staying Rooted) | Episode 411

About this episode

In this episode, the host discusses how to start reading the Bible and effective journaling techniques for spiritual growth.

Today I'm answering two of the most common questions I get: where to start in the Bible and how to journal in a way that actually helps you grow. Not a rigid formula, just some simple, practical rhythms that have helped me stay grounded in my relationship with God.
