Feels strange to say, but I am worth it🎉

Thanks for this information. I am watching now so I can figure out which study will work best for me.

Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate your channel.

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, Romans 4:6 And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: when we read and study scripture there's many questions, we must ask ourselves, first who is the intended audience of the epistle or book??? next is how does this apply to the body of Christ! the book of James is not to or for the body of Christ the intended audience is the 12 tribes of Israel ? I'm curious what tribe are you from !! James 1:1 New International Version James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. New Living Translation This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing to the “twelve tribes”-Jewish believers scattered abroad. Greetings! English Standard Version James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. King James Bible James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. New King James Version James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.

What a blessing. I have been studying James this week. This is right on time.

God bless you, Your Bible studies are so heart felt, encouraging and heart changing for me. I appreciated your sharing with us how you are putting your faith into action, believing God's promise to you and your spouse. Thank you!

Enjoying your channel and the help it’s giving me on this rediscovery of my self I’m a newly empty nester and retire and cancer survivor so grateful that God is always there for us! I discovered a deep sense of determination to grow.

I didn’t read until I was older and so I read the Bible sometimes seeing different meanings in one passage. Can you tell different methods of keeping a prayer journal and separate Bible study journal.

This has helped me so much how to study Gods word. I’m looking forward to following along in the rest of the study of James. Thank you Amanda for helping us with our Bible study. ❤️

Thank you. I have never learned how to study….let alone study the Bible. I struggle to do anymore than read it. What resources do you use?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much - I’ll be reading and following along with you 🙂🙏🏻❤️

This was very helpful, Amanda...thank you for laying it out so clearly!

I want to recommend the Cultural Background Study Bible and Thompson Chain Reference Bible for further study. Would enjoy if you provide your weight loss journey inasmuch if you will be taking one of the weight loss injections, along with your meal planning.

Wonderful study! I have been a Christian for over 40 years, and had never heard of the Cornell method of study! I'll have to look into it in more depth. I have always loved the book of James...it's chock full of practical life advice; like the book of Proverbs. When you read James 1:17 to us, I couldn't help but think of an elderly saint from our first church who quoted that Scripture almost weekly! But see the impact he made on me as a baby Christian all those years ago? I STILL hear him quoting it in my head! I love YOUR love for God's Word...it shows in how you handle and rightly divide the Scriptures. Looking forward to part II! Have a blessed day, Pam

What a fabulous idea! Especially for dealing with depression and anxiety. Thank you

This is definitely the first method, hopefully only method I will use as I study and learn the Bible for my first time. Thank you.

Thank you so much for praying for us, sweet Amanda. If you get a chance, would you please pray for my 39 year old daughter who turned her back on God and us? We haven't heard from her for a year now, and are heartbroken. I am keeping you in prayer, too, for your heart's desire. This may be kind of random, but have you heard about the studies done on a keto lifestyle helping to balance hormones and improve the chances of pregnancy; especially in the case of PCOS? Might be worth a look? Hugs, Pam

Thank you so very very much Amanda. I finally understand the simplicity of this method. This will be my go-to method from now on. Blessings.

Very interesting, never thought of using it for Bible study. Will try using it. Thanks for the idea. Randy

Thank you for the encouraging words in scripture. I pray for God to comfort you and your husband as you trust in him in your waiting. God loves you. I’ll be praying for you both❤️

I'm so sorry to hear what you and your husband have been going through. It must be sooo hard for you. I pray you feel God's loving arms around you every day. I pray you feel His peace, joy and strength,. God loves you.

Thank you so much for these beautiful reminders from Scripture. I pray that as you wait and trust on Him, that the desires of your heart would be met. <3

Thanks for your encouraging words... I needed to her this word.❤

This was such a word on time for me! Thank you! I cried while hearing this. Shelly

I needed this, thank you!

I don’t know if I have used it for Bible studies, though I do remember using it for my studies in school. It was very helpful for me to get the information out of the block of text in my books. Whichever one of my teachers had the foresight of teaching it to us in the late 80s or early 90s, I am fully grateful for that lesson and it definitely was part of my deep dive in learning how to learn stuff. Thank you for sharing your application of this method to Bible study. Another way to use the summary section that I thought you were going to go towards is the way the passage is helpful for your own life in your daily practice of doing the things that you’re doing. So in trusting God to take care of you, maybe how you would put that into your summary statement as a personal way of reminding yourself what the lesson of the passage is about.

Amanda, let me start out by saying that I have a small handful of subscriptions - I don't follow a lot of folks. But - your videos are the one that I check regularly for updates - and always set aside to watch as soon as I see they are available. For me, the very best video that has impacted my life was the one about using the Cornell study method. I've started using this in my quiet time - not all the time - but a lot of the time - and WOW. It was just blessed me so much. I would love to see you sharing from some of your studies what you did and what God laid on your heart. One thing I'd love to see also - and this may sound crazy - is just a short video - maybe 3-5 minutes on your favorite thing from the week - maybe the scripture that just ministered to you the most or some way God worked in your life that week. It wouldn't even have to be that long...just something like "Wow....I was reading XYZ this week and it really encouraged me to remember or understand this." As an example (from my life), I've been reading and studying in Ephesians and I learned a few things about the word "Adoption". For example - that was not a normal concept in Jewish culture - everything was traced through the bloodlines. But in Greek/Roman culture - to be adopted was when someone was put INTO the place of being an heir to the father - and there was usually a ceremony and celebrating. Everybody then knew that this person was taking over the inheritance or was the "inheritance-owner" I'll call it - of that estate. That just blew me away. I'll be praying for you as you seek the Lord's guidance.

I like this method thank you 🙏 for sharing

I really appreciate you sharing this method! It can feel overwhelming when wanting to really get into the Word and meditate on it but not really knowing where to start. Thanks for sharing this Amanda♡

Thank you❤️

I love Bible studies please!

Hi Amanda, you have a nice focus so far on your channel. I think it is a message many need to hear: to see ourselves through Gods eyes. I would like to see you do a video, or a series, on how to keep God’s perspective in the troubled times we are living in. Some people believe we are in “the end times.” Remind us of suggestions on how to walk with God through our current “trials.” On a more superficial note, you might consider what your backdrop (behind you) or your setting tells us about you. I enjoy watching videos where the background is reatively simple, and the items tell us something about the presenter. For instance, sometimes you film at your desk. Other times you have a large bookcase behind you. It is easier for me to focus on your message when you don’t have a large volume of books behind you. I enjoy reading, and I wonder if all your books are all for your Bible studies or if the books cover different topics. You are probably aware that people learn in different styles. You might try to have some visual aid. For example, on some of the channels I watch the presenter has a few words on the screen summarizing points that are being made. God bless you and guide you on your channel.

Sweet Amanda, thank you so much for opening yourself up to our feedback, and offering to address our issues in future videos. I have been born again for 45 years, my hubby and I raised our children "in the nurture and admonition of the LORD," and yet one of our two children completely rejected God and turned her back on us. I haven't seen her for 3 years. I struggle with knowing how to cope with all this heartache, and live with it every day. I am a very sensitive over thinker, so it's especially hard! I just want to know how to find peace and acceptance...my head certainly knows, from God's Word, but my heart is a slow learner. Thank you again, hon.

Thanks for the practical steps to help me in my process

"I am worth it" ❤

Great commentary

I absolutely love your videos and have ordered your book on Amazon. You came through my feed at the perfect time! I know personally I am struggling with where do I fit in, what does GOD have for me now to do, etc. I am working through your book now I believe that will definitely help me to see myself the way GOD does. I appreciate you and your ministry, Amanda! ~ Shelly

Amanda, I enjoy your content. I enjoy how to study videos. Because of my hubby's health crisis, I need to overcome fear and learn about renewing my mind, as Scripture says. I would like to learn how to not panic in the diagnosis of cancer. As I'm typing this, in a nutshell, this is about not being in control. I'm seeing this is about trusting God, no matter what. There's several topics in this reply. Thank you. (Would you please pray for us?)❤

I love all your videos and they have helped me so much. I even got your book from Amazon which was great too. I was thinking maybe more of digging into scriptures and how to apply them in your daily life as you learn more about who you are in Christ. ❤️

I currently have a Strong's Concordance and use it almost daily for my study time

Thank you for sharing your testimony! It was so encouraging and relatable. Appreciate u sis♡

That scripture from John is a great reason to use a concordance for Bible study.

I just love it ❤ it’s so easy to understand I’ve been searching for something like this omg found it thank you 🙏🏽 so much it means a lot now I can learn more 😢 God bless you I just love how patient you are with your teaching many of this videos make it so difficult well at least for someone like me 😊😂 thank thank you 🙏🏽

Yes, the Concordance is great resource. I enjoy using my. Thanks for a great video. Me

you're a nice lady.

What do you think about using a Bible Concordance?

I just came across your video and I really did enjoy it. This is how I was introduced to Bible journaling and it started out with binders. Thank you so much a new follower.

Congratulations! Your videos have been such a blessing in my life! Going to order your book through Amazon! I appreciate you!

Thank you!!! Thank you!! 🥰 for sharing all of this.. It is such a blessing and so so helpful. I am grateful to Jesus that you shared this with us. I feel your passion and love for His word and it stirs my love and my passion for Jesus and His Word too. 🥰✝

This is a good strategy for bible devotion time. Thank you 🙏
