Why We Keep Quitting Our Bible Reading Plans

Episode Description

We talk about why Bible reading gets hard the moment life gets busy, and why perfectionism makes it even harder to come back. We share three small, realistic habits you can use before, during, and after you read so consistency feels lighter and more doable.
• Anchoring Bible reading to an existing daily habit so your routine becomes the reminder
• Reading a few verses before and after to understand Scripture in context
• Writing one sentence after reading to capture a truth, question, or need
• Letting go of shame after missed days and choosing to begin again
• Picking the easiest habit first and adding the others over time
