Jamie Kirschner Season 2 Episode 82

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!

The week is our Ask Me Anything Episode and this week’s questions come from Callista and Macee. 

Callista asks, “I feel like I don’t read the bible as much as I should, how can I get into the bible more and use the bible in my daily life?” 

Macee asks, “I pray, read the Bible, and love God unconditionally, sometimes I just feel a space between God. How can I fix that to feel no space?”

The Bible is under attack today, now more than ever. Not only is this culture calling what is right wrong and wrong right and so many people are confused about it, but there’s another attack that’s happening on the Bible today and it’s happening in many of our homes and to many of you listening to this podcast episode today. 

One of the biggest challenges I hear from teen girls today is that they have a challenge with making it a habit to get into the Bible daily.

 Did you know:

  • 23% of Christian teens read their Bible daily. 
  • 30% of Christian teens read it a couple times a week.
  • AND 59% of Americans want to read their Bibles more...now I know this talks about Americans, but my guess is this is almost every country, but what keeps us from doing it?

 There are 6 Reasons I usually see:

  1. We're too busy.
  2. We're too tired.
  3. We lack motivation.
  4. We're easily distracted. 
  5. We forget to read our Bible
  6. We don't understand it, so we don't read it.
