Love the Bible — Christianity
Love the Bible

Welcome to the Love the Bible Podcast, where the mission here is to help us grow in our understanding and love of the Bible and to apply it to every area of life, from the everyday mundane, to our deepest trials. Because let’s be honest, sometimes it’s hard to read and study the Bible. Our lives our busy and hard, we are distracted, we face a lack of motivation, and then at times even when we are excited to read the Bible, it can be hard to understand.

But what if the ups and downs of our Bible study seasons, are some of the very things God wants to use in our lives to finding greater treasure and deeper delight in these words?

We are going to be interviewing amazing authors, speakers, and Bible teachers, who are gifted to help us along the way. We will have regular Bible tips, to help us go deeper in our study. We are also going to hear some incredible testimonies of when the Bible broke through darkness, to remind us that these words are living and active. And we are going to have teaching and devotional series right through books of the Bible alongside free Bible reading plans.

And the ultimate goal of this podcast, is to not just love the Bible, but to deeply know and love the author of the Bible more, God Himself. So again, welcome to Love the Bible podcast, I’m Kristin, seminary grad, writer, and Bible teacher, and for the love of Bible, I am so glad you are here!
