After 39 years of denying him, I was saved on 14 Oct 2020 and I'm just starting my journey. I started in Revelations and moved to Genesis for my first dive into the Bible lol! It was confusing but enlightening. I'm going to start with Matthew next and work my way through it Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. Thank you so much. God bless!
ABC’s to being saved. A-Admit you are a sinner. B-Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and died for your sins and rose again. C-Confess your sins to Him, repent and turn from your sins. End every prayer in Jesus name because He is the only way to the Father. If you do those things you can rest assured you are saved. Praise God!!
I'm a baby christian. Newly born again. I'm often frightened to think about bible study with other people. Im 30, and My entire life I've had a really low vocabulary (that of a child) . Often times when people talk about certain things I have no idea what they're talking about, and I get lost quickly bc of not knowing the vocabulary. I'm starting church near by where I live this Sunday, and am praying it helps me get to know Jesus more. He knows my heart.
He does know your heart :) And He knows your eagerness to learn His Word. Hope you will join us Crazy Simple Study Sisters someday. I am sure that you will feel welcomed and loved :)
As a suggestion for you, when you come across a word you don't know, write it down and look it up. You can have a running list or whatever. Try to find a way to use the new word a few times. Also read more in general. In that way your vocabulary increases and you become smarter. 😊 No one is born knowing it all. Don't expect to learn everything at once. Learning is a continual process! I wish you good luck! 👍👍
This helped so much ! I do disagree when you say “you won’t feel the Holy Spirit in you unless you read the word of god”, because I do feel the Holy Spirit in me and it has changed my life this month. I’ve never been so happy to feel this love from him and can not wait to get even closer to him when I start studying the Bible !
I'm not sure what I said but I meant that you cannot be certain it is the Holy Spirit speaking unless you know His voice and you can't truly know His voice without knowing His Word. I am so happy you are hearing from Him!! It's such a blessing to feel His love!!
You’re inspiring me to really study my Bible in a whole new way as well as use my talents He gave me to help others! I tend to be intimidated and procrastinate because I’m not perfect at it but you’re completely inspiring because you take your passion and run with it!
The word of God will allow to life a live pleasing to Him and when we live according to His will He will truly allow us to have the gift of the Holy Spirit so the word of God is very important in our daily live. Remember there are other spirits out there so we have to try the spirit. God is the one living Spirit.
I am a newbie and I read the Bible from beginning to end! Somehow it made sense to do this and it’s a story. Worth doing I promise, hard going but so worth it.
@Rose Lilly I am autistic. I have severe learning disabilities. I may read a verse 10 times over. Look right at you and not be able to tell you what I just read. Colors and visuals help me to process things into my brain. People have long put rules on God's word. Bless you my sister🙏❤🙏 I reach out to you for understanding. I am very grateful to anyone that gives of their time and themselves to help me understand the word.
💯 love the tips that help make the bible seem less daunting to approach! Do you have any other tips to share as someone who started reading more of the Bible last year?
Sometimes my husband likes to put Hershey’s kisses up my bum and pretend he’s eating my poo as I push it back out. God watches us every time we do this and gives us His blessing each and every time 🙏
I’m 31 and I’m about to get my first Bible . It looks like a very hard book but listening to you break it down makes it so much easier to already understand. I have felt so lost and confused not knowing what I’m doing and what to do In life. I just hope reading and studying the Bible helps me. When you said the Holy Spirit is in me I felt so emotional I started to tear up.. I have never felt like this watching a TH-cam video thank you so much for taking your time and making this easier.
Join a youth group or check with your local church and see if they have online zoom youth meetings. After the lockdown you’ll be amazed at how many fun things you can do with other Christians, It’s very important for you to be around other Christians and learn about Jesus. He has a plan just for you! I’m so excited to see how he uses you and continues to change your life. God bless you on your journey. Remember Jesus hears you, pray from your heart, don’t worry about it being the correct words as long as you pray honestly to the lord. He knows your heart.
Have you watched Bible Stories with Liv? I don't have tiktok but I've seen her on TH-cam. She has a good way of breaking down some of the stories for understanding before you read. But definitely keep reading every day and praying for understanding from the Holy Spirit. ❤️
New student! I’ve been a believer all my life but I need/want to do better. I never really learned how to start learning and reading the Bible so that I understand it best.
Hi you will do great I've been a follower for many years but was never reading and that's like being a doctor and never performed surgery lol so we have to start somewhere I just started in JOHN and it's been great u should pray before u read n visualize the story it will make it exciting I know I cant wait to read more God bless u
Nicki I am so grateful to you for helping examiners of the Bible. I know it's the most powerful book in the world and you are doing a great service for your God and family. May you always be healthy and well loved.
Nicki!!!!! You are the best teacher! Thank you for all the effort you take away from your family to teach others. I have five kids so I know what it would take to do what you do. Peace be with you and your family! 😄
Hi, I highly recommend a video Bible resource by Brad Gray, entitled "Walking The Text - The Teaching Series." Brad explains the Bible through contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the teachings apply to your daily walk. I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing, and I have learned so much. Brad releases an episode every Tuesday. Start with episode 1, which lays the foundation for the teaching series. Shalom
I love u an ur ability to be humble an be real I know ur smart but they way u talk you dumb it down to reach us ordinary people I promise this is a compliment
I love your videos, i came along 2 years after this video was made and I tell ya, this is one of my favorite videos, I love the way you are just totally real... the facial expressions crack me up! Love you!!
I love this!! I’m going to watch you more! You’ve got the fire in you:) I love your positivity and determination in helping people stick on their faith/start their faith. Keep it up girl! ❣️
You made me laugh and smile watching this video. Thank you for all your tips! You helped light a fire in me of motivation and excitement to study my Bible. How wonderful that you made this video 2 years ago, and it is still spreading its light and love. Thank you! *hit subscribed.
I’m completely new to this, I’ve only ever read like the first few pages of the Bible where it talks about Adam and Eve and I’ve never read past that but I want to now and I want to understand all of it and I just don’t know where to start or how to do it and this video helps so much! Thank you for posting this I feel like I was meant to see it because I didn’t even search for this it just popped up in my recommended and I’ve never watched a Bible video before either, so thank you!
My favorite verse is lean not to your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5-6. Sometimes we go through things and we don’t understand why but it’s important to not lean into your own understanding but to trust God with all your heart. We’re nothing without God.
I just wanted to say thank you! I’m extremely new in my faith and wanting to start studying my bible and I love how relatable you are and how open and honest you are! I subscribed right away! God is going to use you and your ministry far beyond what you think!

This helped so much as a 13 year old you loves to spend like with God and needed a change from the negative energy understanding the Bible is really important now I can read the Bible and understand it at home
New to learning the Bible. Heard Gods calling for many years and now I’m Born Again. Fascinating facts about the Bible I’ve learned today I Thank You for this informative teachings.
Lord bless, you are so adorable! I love the fire for Christ and how sweet you are! As someone with ADHD, I found it amazing to see someone similar to myself bouncing from topic to topic, and even the little here and there distractions. But it was so easy to follow along and understand! I also love your bloopers at the end, and I did find your dad joke funny 😌 Your spirit is so genuine and pure, your fire burns so brightly and beautifully! Bless you and your children, for you are clearly doing God's work as it was meant to be done!
I have been walking with God since I was 2-3 yrs old and mom taught me to pray spent 5o years after that thinking I know God went to catholic school 1-12 grade. Saved at 27 and went to bible study groups here and there . I realized i pray a lot know a lot but not enough! I know concepts but I really don’t know any more than a baby Christian ! Revelation! Wow that was hard to swallow after all there’s years ! I never had any a formal teaching about how to study the Bible. . I just kind of wing it. I aTalk about stunted growth! Anyway I stumbled across your channel this afternoon ! I’m sure it’s Holy Spirit Lea! Thank you Jesus ! Yes please keep the videos coming! We need you giurrrllll! God bless😄😄😎😁
New to the bible I talked to older followers in my church and asked them how to better understand the bible you have to pray before u read and actually visualize the story it's been amazing I cant wait to read again thanks for the video great to know these things
Oh my. I am soooooo glad I found this channel as I am 63 and just starting this journey. I have a learning disability and have found bible study intimidating
It's late and I am up watching videos, my mom's in the hospital with Pneumonia and amd Congestive Heart Failure, and I cannot sleep. Your videos are terrific. I am not a new Christian, but I thoroughly enjoyed your video for new Christians.
I am not a new follower of Christ and I still have never found a way for spiritual growth through bible study. Thanks for the joy of Christ that you are bringing to anyone who watches you. May God continue to bless you and yours! ❤️
God bless you sister in Christ! I watched your video for tips and now I am going to start having,consistent Bible studies with my new wife. Thank you for making this video and operating in your God given gifts. We will keep you in prayer.
Nikki's enthusiasm made me smile. Good video. Much needed. Because the simple things often get overlooked and not done. At all. Because they are so simple.

New to Bible study. And I love how you break down each chapter and what they are. This is the explanation of the Bible I have been looking for since I started to truly follow God's word. Thank you!
You are so inspiring, informative, and encouraging. Thank you so much! I'm hoping that your channel will literally be life-changing in my relationship with God and my life! Thank you!
I have never before been to church until this year. My son who is 9yrs old has always been curious and interested in God and I have no clue where any of it came from because we don't talk about it in our house. My husband grew up in churches and went to religious schools but stopped in high school and still my son would talk. I finally stopped denying him the opportunity to bring God in his live (and mine), so we started going to church and I'm loving it. I don't understand most of it....yet but hope to be able to one day. I have also just started studying the bible as I was gifted a Student Bible. In that bible it gives me tracks to follow and I have started with the book of Luke! I'm so happy to hear that Luke is your favorite as a newbie, I'm finding it an easy one to start with! Thank you for breaking down the books of the Bible for me as I now feel I have a better understanding of it! Peace be with you!
Thank you for breaking down the Bible! This was very informative but appreciated that you were able to break it down quickly. I am new at this journey. Got baptized in 2019, but got lost during covid and found my way back this year. I'm recommitting my life to Christ. I will check out Matthew, Mark Luke John. Will stay tuned!
9/28/23- watched your 6 tips for beginner Bible study. This was my first time seeing you. You are great- we speak very similarly- with our hands, with our eyes, and basically the whole body. I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm, genuineness and the simplistic manner with which you present your material. I found this video very helpful- and I have been “in the church” all my life. But I have learned in the past few years- after finding a different church, that there is a Big difference in being “in the church” and being “in the Word” and feeling confident that you are “wholly a True Child of God Christian”. Baby steps as it’s a surprise to realize that somehow some part was missing and you didn’t know what or why. I was doing all the right things, but some part of me was still detached- even though I didn’t realize it. Thank you for obeying your calling and sharing the Passion you have for our Lord and Savior with us. I pray that your ministry, for it is truly that, touches more and more hearts for Jesus!!!
This is such an encouragement that I really needed to hear. Been feeling a bit defeated lately and God knew I needed this!! So thank you for taking the time to type that all out for me 💕 it’s appreciated more than words can say!!
@@serinagbusseh3491 I suggest a study Bible. There are two in my website that are great. The quest study Bible and the Life Application Study Bible www.crazysimpletruth.com/nickispicks
Oh my goodness, I have been a Christian for years and years, and I learned a lot from this video! ❤️ you are beautiful and your personality and joy is contagious! You are gifted! 😊 do you have a specific ORDER that new people should watch your videos?
I hear all the time don't do it alone but sitting alone and reading the bible at my own pace works best for me. Taking away all distractions, wisdom pops out to me about what is going on in my life when reading the bible. Writing down verses helps to remember! A good teacher is needed as well! i
Yes, Bible reading is definitely best done alone!! But when you start studying in-depth, it helps to have others to bounce knowledge off of and ask questions 💕
Girl, you are on fire! Thanks for this. It was eye-opening. I’ve been studying Bible a long time. Sometimes clear scaffolding helps immensely. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the inspiration! New subscriber here. I became a Jesus follower 4 years ago. Just want to warn what I wish I heard more of when I was brand new to this. Make sure that the church and the Bible study group you are going to are really genuine Christ followers and not a cult!
Nicki, I just wrote in my Bible for the first time. I just thought, it was something that was NOT allowed! It was liberating! I feel now my Bible is now MY Bible. Thanks so much but Help- I can’t stop! Your a great teacher and thank you for everything you do.
MY TIP IS AT THE END OF THE COMMENT..... But first I wanna say: I apparently belong to the minority group that started with Genesis and it worked. I know it doesn't work for everybody. I am somebody who is interested in ancient civilisations specifically, so for me it was interesting and I was caught up reading until I believed in God the creator but still wasn't sure if Jesus is God as I heard but I was so caught up reading until I eventually also reached the New Testament and ultimately believed in Jesus being the messiah promised in the Old Testament and I finally understood what everyone was talking about. Personally, I don't think I would gain such an insight if I didn't read the Old Testament prior to the New Testament - but that's just the way I am. I know for most normal modern people get bored reading Old Testament that's why many people recommend starting straight off right in the middle of the Christian things happening - the New Testament. I personally don't wish someone had told me to read New Testament back then, because I know myself and I know I would be missing a lot of contextual things. Old Testament prepared me in the cultural things of the Israelite Jewish nation that's why I was able to understand a lot of references made around Jesus - not only about why he said that and why he did that but also the symbolic significance of the timing of the things he did and symbolic significance of the things he did said . For example. I don't think there is one best way to read the Bible, as we are very different, each person is unique. I felt I was called to read the Bible. Without doing any online research or asking any of my believing friends for advice, I just did it the way I strongly felt I should do it, and it eventually worked. Suddenly, I just felt SO drawn and hungry to try to read the Bible from the "beginning" and see what happens and then I just couldn't stop, I think I read almost the whole Genesis in two-three hours. + Googling stuff and references about it. My tip for anybody reading the Bible that I wish someone would have told me is downloading the Concordance and Strongs app. I am someone who speaks a few languages so I know sometimes It's hard to give an exact word-for-word translations of the phrases, that's why we have so many Bible translations. The Concordance & Strongs app allows you to click on a word or expression that makes no sense or makes you confused and it will give you an original Hebrew or Greek word with an English definition of the expression and it will show you multiple ways how that could be translated (synonyms). I only discovered this app only when I was finishing the Old Testament, so I wish I had that earlier on. I am somebody who is always slightly suspicious of the different translations distortion and I just want to know what does the original Bible say.
I absolutely LOVE the book of Genesis but if people are brand new to Christ I feel they need to know who He is first so they can see where He is in Genesis 💕
@@nickidrake that's the thing, I wasn't new to Christ yet. I believed in God the creator, I wasn't sure who's got it right - the Jews, Christians or Muslims? I was open to any of these three groups getting it right. So I stated my journey and eventually I knew the Torah or the old testament and suddenly there was a twist for me. Oh and I'm not that much interested in history. I hate the WW era and the 15-19 century history makes me kinda bored. History geeks tend to love these parts of history. With me, I am specifically fascinated with ancient civilisations. Be it ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Sumers, Persians, whatever ancient. Israelites came in the way and I was caught up. For me it was like watching the documentaries I watch of ancient Egypt regularly. I didn't expect the israelite civilisation to be just as interesting and developed, because they're not as famous among history geeks. Plus, on the way of learning about them, I also believed in their God, our God. 🌺 And this God got me so much I was caught up in the new testament, a life changing experience. I was never an atheist but reading the Bible was like as if the inside of me was a messy room and somebody just came in and cleaned it up. And I'm starting new
You’re so right when you say Jesus is everywhere in the Bible! He is definitely referred to many times in the Old Testament! The Old Testament is also FULL of illustrations of God’s grace and mercy!! 💕
@@israelite1972 To do that I would need to write an entire book, if not volumes. Even then, I would fail miserably at trying to show you what only the Spirit can. My answer is to go to Him. Take each book while on your knees before Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He will. I love your hunger to know Him better and to see Him in Scripture! It may take a lifetime, but it will be THE most amazing journey! He will radically change your life!! 💕
Pastors kid from birth here so lots of Bible exposure. I have read the Bible for years but have never really tried to study it and dig deeper. I literally prayed the other day and asked God to teach me how to study the Bible. The next day I just happened to be flipping through my hcsb Bible and discovered a section at the back on how to study the Bible. Then today this video was on my TH-cam homepage! Enjoyed this video and your energy and passion. Now enjoying your video on verse mapping. Love the instruction on how to really get as much as possible out of a verse! Thank for doing what you're doing! God bless!
Thank you Nicki 💙 your teaching is uplifting, straightforward, biblical, and easy to understand. Everything seems so complicated lately, love your channel 💙
Yes Lisa everything is so complicated, I agree! It's a different world we live in right now and it can be all consuming. I'm sooooo happy you found my ministry. I pray that I can be a blessing to you!! ♥️♥️
Amen to that Nicki. I am a beginner of studying the Bible. I have been with a group of Christians for few years but I think and feel that it's not enough. I need to do more and desire more as I revere and walk with the Lord Jesus. I only bumped into your channel this morning and I subscribed instantly. I pray and hope that I will have the understanding of God’s word. Thank you God that I was lead to your channel. May God bless you more.🙏
I love you! Your video was absolutely perfect for me and delivered to me just in the right time. You have instilled me with so much more motivation and ease! I have subscribed and I am diving into your other videos. THANK YOU!
Thank you! I had a feeling this was meant for the sisters in Christ but I learned and was inspired by a couple things you said and can't wait to join a Bible study small group at my faith driven church here where I got babtized yesterday. All glory be to the highest, hallelujah be his great name Jesus 🙌 🙏
Hi Nikki, I just discovered you. In the past at various times in my life I’d open a Bible and try reading a bit but couldn’t get into it. A few months ago I acquired an ESV which seemed more doable. They gave a 40 day study list. I’m enjoying it but almost done and didn’t know how I should proceed. This video was very helpful. Something that is very confusing to me is the history and geography; the different “ Houses” and who was ruling whom. A video on that would be helpful. I noticed that this video is 2 years old so I don’t even know if you’re still active but I love your upbeat personality and down to earth approach. 🥰Barbara
Hi, Barbara, I highly recommend a video Bible resource by Brad Gray, entitled "Walking The Text - The Teaching Series." Brad explains and teaches the Bible and Biblical concepts/precepts through various contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the Bible teachings apply to your daily walk. I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing and I have learned so much. You will be engaged, enriched, and enlightened. Each video is powerful and packed with Spiritual gems and revelations. Brad releases an episode every Tuesday. Start with episode 1, which lays the foundation for the teaching series. (Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to import the link.) You can google "Walking the Text - The Teaching Series." SHALOM
I'm still very active around here!! Glad you found me. I have some resource suggestions in my Amazon shop at www.amazon.com/nickidrakecrazysimpletruth 💕
really blessed. ii went through the forest before I saw the day especally because I joined an assembly that was setting up and we were all from different backgrounds
So weird. I woke up at 3 this morning. I opened up Facebook. I found the Prayerful Planner, started looking for info on it and found your channel. It was just what I needed! I am not a new follower, but I have never felt I knew how to study the bible, but I was proud to finish reading all words of the bible recently. Once done, I thought, now what? I need to somehow organize my thinking. With the Prayerful Planner and your tips I am excited to move forward. I hope I can journal my journey in a way that is memorable to me. I was looking through a powerpoint for a new curriculum I started using in my class lastnight. One sentence stood out to me- "nothing exceptional happens without enthusiasm." Thanks for your enthusiam, it is contagious!
Awe Miran your story is inspirational ♥️ I am so glad you are ready to dig into the Bible!! It has to go from reading for INFORMATION to studying for TRANSFORMATION. And then you will be amazed at how much Jesus changes your everyday life!! So happy you are here!!
Thank you for sharing. I am a beginner and I am learning. I will be watching your tutorials so I continue my Bible Study. I am so glad I had stubble on your channel.
Hello! I'm so happy I found you today! What a blessing. Thank you for breaking down the chapters of the bible, wish I had known this before! Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos 😊 so excited to start this bible study journey. God bless you and your family. 🤗
I keep it simple: A quiet place, start by praying by asking God to impress your mind with truth to send his Spirit to show you. Open His Word, start in theNew Testament, Matthew and slowly read thinking about it and what God wants you to understand. I journal and this is so important. Write about what you read. Make it real. Pray! You will grow in Christ. Do this everyday. Be consistent and your life will change.
This was very informative and it really helps me to understand the books of the Bible and what to expect from each one. I must say when first started reading the Bible years ago I was so confused as to what I was reading and how to pronounce the words and names. I listen/watch the late Pastor Stephen Darby (Destiny Ministries) and I have learned so much from his Bible studies. I have not ever heard of anyone like him who speaks the word to where I am able to truly understand. It is unfortunate that he is no longer with us but thank God for his wife, family, and ministry that keep his videos going. I do my best to make it a point to listen to his teachings at least once a week. (Very informative). Thank you for your help as well I will definitely check out your website I would love to see what's in store there. Have a blessed rest of your day.
Hi, Stefanie, I am sharing with as many people as possible because there is a video Biblical resource I recently discovered. It is so amazing, and I so highly recommend it.

He explains the Bible through various contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the teachings apply to your daily walk. I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing and I have learned so much. You will be engaged and enlightened.

I have been a Christian for 25 yrs and still learning in fact I really didn't know about the braking down of the books. Thank you so very much. Bless you
You are awesome!!! Thanks for this information. I’ve been wanted to read the Bible but I didn’t know where to start, you’re a big help! 🥰✨ #NewStudent💞
You are so cute and enthusiastic about Jesus! This video just made my heart so happy. I’ve been saved by Jesus for about 40 years and this was just refreshing………motivating ,”newbies”😁
Thank you so much for this video...popped in here from the recommandation bar and now I will watch some more. :-) I would love to go to church and I would love to engage in a church and be a part of a group...I agree with you in the fact you should not do this alone...but I am not able to because of my work.
So glad I found your video. A few close friends want to start a weekly study and we are stuck on where to begin. I’m a new beginner. I purchased a bible a couple of days ago and I’m excited. Please share more tips. Thank you!!
Hello there....I use to have energy like you...a long time ago:-) ...I'm excited to start my newbie bible journey....so YES!!! Please give us Bible study tips for (beginners) ... for me the Bible is very complex...how to approach and read it would be a great start...Thank you!!🤗🌹🇨🇭
OMGG where have you been all my life!!!! I have been looking for something like this. I learned so much in this video. Thank you so much. Sharing with my Bible group.
6, Don't do it alone! I have to... I have no one to study with. But, I guess you could say I am not alone has I have the Holy Spirit with me. We all do! When I was in a group bible study no one cared whether I showed up or not. They wouldn't even call me to let me know they weren't having it that day. I need beginner study videos.
I have been saved since 2012 and baptized in 2018 , sometimes I think I waited too many years to get baptized . I loved your video !!!! God Bless You !!!!
I am here because I have just created my Bible Sharing Group where I have the fire. Passion and I realized the Holy Spirit teaching me alot of things. So I am here for tips😊
You are adorable I have been reading the junks for years but learned things today I never knew I have subscribed and plan to watch your other videos THANK YOU I needed the basics today to get me back on track and your simple honest way of putting the information out there really made my day thank you again
NickiDrake-Crazy Simple Truth Ministries Thank you. I am looking for daily motivation too so I am thinking about the Inspire Bible. I am in desperate need of how to even begin this journey. Thank you so much for responding. Blessings!
Ladies!! Want to study the Bible with me at www.crazysimpletruth.com/join
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After 39 years of denying him, I was saved on 14 Oct 2020 and I'm just starting my journey. I started in Revelations and moved to Genesis for my first dive into the Bible lol! It was confusing but enlightening. I'm going to start with Matthew next and work my way through it Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. Thank you so much. God bless!
I started in revelations as well . 🙌
How do you know that you are saved?
ABC’s to being saved. A-Admit you are a sinner. B-Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and died for your sins and rose again. C-Confess your sins to Him, repent and turn from your sins. End every prayer in Jesus name because He is the only way to the Father. If you do those things you can rest assured you are saved. Praise God!!
U can also try proverbs for better understanding.
Woo! Talk about jumping in headfirst! Lol Good on you, dude! How is it going?
I'm a baby christian. Newly born again. I'm often frightened to think about bible study with other people. Im 30, and My entire life I've had a really low vocabulary (that of a child) . Often times when people talk about certain things I have no idea what they're talking about, and I get lost quickly bc of not knowing the vocabulary. I'm starting church near by where I live this Sunday, and am praying it helps me get to know Jesus more. He knows my heart.
He does know your heart :) And He knows your eagerness to learn His Word. Hope you will join us Crazy Simple Study Sisters someday. I am sure that you will feel welcomed and loved :)
Same here im a baby Christian and the vocabulary for me is hard too
As a suggestion for you, when you come across a word you don't know, write it down and look it up. You can have a running list or whatever. Try to find a way to use the new word a few times. Also read more in general. In that way your vocabulary increases and you become smarter. 😊 No one is born knowing it all. Don't expect to learn everything at once. Learning is a continual process! I wish you good luck! 👍👍
That’s why there is Life Application Bible for Christian babies. There is a section for that in this study Bible.

Ty
Thank you
THANK YOU!
Lol Thanks.
This helped so much ! I do disagree when you say “you won’t feel the Holy Spirit in you unless you read the word of god”, because I do feel the Holy Spirit in me and it has changed my life this month. I’ve never been so happy to feel this love from him and can not wait to get even closer to him when I start studying the Bible !
I'm not sure what I said but I meant that you cannot be certain it is the Holy Spirit speaking unless you know His voice and you can't truly know His voice without knowing His Word. I am so happy you are hearing from Him!! It's such a blessing to feel His love!!
God* Him* ❤️
You’re inspiring me to really study my Bible in a whole new way as well as use my talents He gave me to help others! I tend to be intimidated and procrastinate because I’m not perfect at it but you’re completely inspiring because you take your passion and run with it!
The word of God will allow to life a live pleasing to Him and when we live according to His will He will truly allow us to have the gift of the Holy Spirit so the word of God is very important in our daily live. Remember there are other spirits out there so we have to try the spirit. God is the one living Spirit.
I believe you can feel the Holy Spirit without reading the word of God, however to grow into a spiritual warrior is through reading the word ❤🙏
I am a newbie and I read the Bible from beginning to end! Somehow it made sense to do this and it’s a story. Worth doing I promise, hard going but so worth it.
New to bible studying God bless you because you broke the books down really good!

@Rose Lilly I am autistic. I have severe learning disabilities. I may read a verse 10 times over. Look right at you and not be able to tell you what I just read. Colors and visuals help me to process things into my brain. People have long put rules on God's word. Bless you my sister🙏❤🙏 I reach out to you for understanding. I am very grateful to anyone that gives of their time and themselves to help me understand the word.
💯 love the tips that help make the bible seem less daunting to approach! Do you have any other tips to share as someone who started reading more of the Bible last year?
Sometimes my husband likes to put Hershey’s kisses up my bum and pretend he’s eating my poo as I push it back out. God watches us every time we do this and gives us His blessing each and every time 🙏

I’m 31 and I’m about to get my first Bible . It looks like a very hard book but listening to you break it down makes it so much easier to already understand. I have felt so lost and confused not knowing what I’m doing and what to do In life. I just hope reading and studying the Bible helps me. When you said the Holy Spirit is in me I felt so emotional I started to tear up.. I have never felt like this watching a TH-cam video thank you so much for taking your time and making this easier.
God is working in your heart! That's awesome! He's calling you to His Word :)
Check "Unlocking the Bible" series on TH-cam by David Pawson
Yes I watched your video til the end. You went in depth with it which what I was looking for as a beginner.
Hi I'm a 10 year old trying to become a Christian TikTok is changing my life, There are christians on there and they changed my life , any more tips?
You need to get a teen study Bible ♥️ that will help you lots!!
Join a youth group or check with your local church and see if they have online zoom youth meetings. After the lockdown you’ll be amazed at how many fun things you can do with other Christians, It’s very important for you to be around other Christians and learn about Jesus.
He has a plan just for you! I’m so excited to see how he uses you and continues to change your life. God bless you on your journey.
Remember Jesus hears you, pray from your heart, don’t worry about it being the correct words as long as you pray honestly to the lord. He knows your heart.
Same homie David from tiktok helped me a lot!
TikTok changed my life as well!!!!!!! I see so many other Christians my age.. good for you!
Have you watched Bible Stories with Liv? I don't have tiktok but I've seen her on TH-cam. She has a good way of breaking down some of the stories for understanding before you read. But definitely keep reading every day and praying for understanding from the Holy Spirit. ❤️
New student! I’ve been a believer all my life but I need/want to do better. I never really learned how to start learning and reading the Bible so that I understand it best.
Isabel Bartlett no one is born a believer so I don’t think you could have been a believer all ur life? Am I wrong?
Hi you will do great I've been a follower for many years but was never reading and that's like being a doctor and never performed surgery lol so we have to start somewhere I just started in JOHN and it's been great u should pray before u read n visualize the story it will make it exciting I know I cant wait to read more God bless u
OMG ! I love your heart and honesty about your level of knowledge. It is so refreshing!
Awe thanks Lisa!! So happy you are here 🧡
Lisa Thomas me too :)
Nicki I am so grateful to you for helping examiners of the Bible. I know it's the most powerful book in the world and you are doing a great service for your God and family. May you always be healthy and well loved.
Awe thanks!! All glory to God!! 💕
Nicki!!!!! You are the best teacher! Thank you for all the effort you take away from your family to teach others. I have five kids so I know what it would take to do what you do. Peace be with you and your family! 😄
After many years of considering myself as a Christian, it is only now that I’ve learned of the different literary genres. Thank you for this!
Hi, I highly recommend a video Bible resource by Brad Gray, entitled "Walking The Text - The Teaching Series." Brad explains the Bible through contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the teachings apply to your daily walk.
I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing, and I have learned so much. Brad releases an episode every Tuesday. Start with episode 1, which lays the foundation for the teaching series.
Shalom
I love u an ur ability to be humble an be real I know ur smart but they way u talk you dumb it down to reach us ordinary people I promise this is a compliment
Hi. Im a year old in Christ and im ashamed ive not even done a proper bible study!! Thankyou for this video. God bless your ministry
I love your videos, i came along 2 years after this video was made and I tell ya, this is one of my favorite videos, I love the way you are just totally real... the facial expressions crack me up! Love you!!
Wow ! The way you just broke things down is the encouragement I needed to pick up the Bible ❤️ thank you 🙏🏾
Amen sister!
Thanks you
honey every day God is always teaching us
I love this!! I’m going to watch you more! You’ve got the fire in you:) I love your positivity and determination in helping people stick on their faith/start their faith. Keep it up girl! ❣️
Thanks Kendall! So glad you are here!
Hi I just just joined in with you ladies, I want to learn my bible more. I only went to church when I was a kid, so reading the Bible is new to me
You made me laugh and smile watching this video. Thank you for all your tips!
You helped light a fire in me of motivation and excitement to study my Bible.
How wonderful that you made this video 2 years ago, and it is still spreading its light and love.
Thank you! *hit subscribed.
I really needed this. Nobody ever broke the Bible down like that for me. I've been reading the Bible for awhile. Each one teach one
I’m completely new to this, I’ve only ever read like the first few pages of the Bible where it talks about Adam and Eve and I’ve never read past that but I want to now and I want to understand all of it and I just don’t know where to start or how to do it and this video helps so much! Thank you for posting this I feel like I was meant to see it because I didn’t even search for this it just popped up in my recommended and I’ve never watched a Bible video before either, so thank you!
Oh Kayla you've come to the right place!! I will have you all over in the Word of God girl!! ♥️
Definitely check out OneHour One Books channel. I've been reading the Bible for the better part of 10 years and I wish I could have started there
Happy for you!
Michelle Marais that’s awesome!
I am exactly where you are. How are things progressing for you? I am just starting and this video was extremely helpful!
My favorite verse is lean not to your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5-6.
Sometimes we go through things and we don’t understand why but it’s important to not lean into your own understanding but to trust God with all your heart. We’re nothing without God.
I just wanted to say thank you! I’m extremely new in my faith and wanting to start studying my bible and I love how relatable you are and how open and honest you are! I subscribed right away! God is going to use you and your ministry far beyond what you think!
Thank you for your kind words! 🌼

This helped so much as a 13 year old you loves to spend like with God and needed a change from the negative energy understanding the Bible is really important now I can read the Bible and understand it at home
Averie email me. I may have an online Bible study group that you may want to join. My daughter leads it with teens.
Beginner study‼️❤️🙏🏾 Love you energy and thank you for welcoming me☺️💙💙
New to learning the Bible.
Heard Gods calling for many years and now I’m Born Again.
Fascinating facts about the Bible I’ve learned today
I Thank You for this informative teachings.
Lord bless, you are so adorable! I love the fire for Christ and how sweet you are! As someone with ADHD, I found it amazing to see someone similar to myself bouncing from topic to topic, and even the little here and there distractions. But it was so easy to follow along and understand!
I also love your bloopers at the end, and I did find your dad joke funny 😌 Your spirit is so genuine and pure, your fire burns so brightly and beautifully! Bless you and your children, for you are clearly doing God's work as it was meant to be done!
Awe thanks for the kind words!! All glory goes to God!!
I have been walking with God since I was 2-3 yrs old and mom taught me to pray spent 5o years after that thinking I know God went to catholic school 1-12 grade. Saved at 27 and went to bible study groups here and there . I realized i pray a lot know a lot but not enough! I know concepts but I really don’t know any more than a baby Christian ! Revelation! Wow that was hard to swallow after all there’s years ! I never had any a formal teaching about how to study the Bible. . I just kind of wing it. I aTalk about stunted growth! Anyway I stumbled across your channel this afternoon ! I’m sure it’s Holy Spirit Lea! Thank you Jesus ! Yes please keep the videos coming! We need you giurrrllll! God bless😄😄😎😁
Thank you so much for putting this in simple terms. I renewed my faith recently and I don't know where to start. Love your website.
Yay for renewing your commitment to the Lord!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@nickidrake Ty, How do I support the cause whenever I get back to working
New to the bible I talked to older followers in my church and asked them how to better understand the bible you have to pray before u read and actually visualize the story it's been amazing I cant wait to read again thanks for the video great to know these things
New student! I loved how you broke down the books! Gods bless you! Thank you!
Oh my. I am soooooo glad I found this channel as I am 63 and just starting this journey. I have a learning disability and have found bible study intimidating
It's late and I am up watching videos, my mom's in the hospital with Pneumonia and amd Congestive Heart Failure, and I cannot sleep. Your videos are terrific. I am not a new Christian, but I thoroughly enjoyed your video for new Christians.
Oh no I will pray for you mom 🙏 that has to be hard. Especially with covid out there! 😢
I am not a new follower of Christ and I still have never found a way for spiritual growth through bible study. Thanks for the joy of Christ that you are bringing to anyone who watches you. May God continue to bless you and yours! ❤️
God bless you sister in Christ! I watched your video for tips and now I am going to start having,consistent Bible studies with my new wife. Thank you for making this video and operating in your God given gifts. We will keep you in prayer.
Thank you Al! I love that you and your wife are going to study together ♥️ best way to start a marriage and keep it going!!
Nikki's enthusiasm made me smile. Good video. Much needed. Because the simple things often get overlooked and not done. At all. Because they are so simple.
I can see your passion in this video to teach us how to study the Bible you’re amazing I’m going to continue watching your videos 🙏🏽💗
I feel the same way. Your excitement is so contagious. I love it.... thank you for sharing . I to will be following you. Blessed day girrrl

New to Bible study. And I love how you break down each chapter and what they are. This is the explanation of the Bible I have been looking for since I started to truly follow God's word. Thank you!
Great video. Their is alot of things I wish I knew before I started my walk. That's why I try to answer everyone's questions on my channel.
Beginner student of the Bible. Learning how to classify the books was very helpful to me! Thank you.
You are so inspiring, informative, and encouraging. Thank you so much! I'm hoping that your channel will literally be life-changing in my relationship with God and my life! Thank you!
Awe I'm so glad you found me and that I'm blessing you in your walk with the Lord!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I have never before been to church until this year. My son who is 9yrs old has always been curious and interested in God and I have no clue where any of it came from because we don't talk about it in our house. My husband grew up in churches and went to religious schools but stopped in high school and still my son would talk. I finally stopped denying him the opportunity to bring God in his live (and mine), so we started going to church and I'm loving it. I don't understand most of it....yet but hope to be able to one day. I have also just started studying the bible as I was gifted a Student Bible. In that bible it gives me tracks to follow and I have started with the book of Luke! I'm so happy to hear that Luke is your favorite as a newbie, I'm finding it an easy one to start with! Thank you for breaking down the books of the Bible for me as I now feel I have a better understanding of it! Peace be with you!
That is awesome! God must have big plans for your son's life :)
Thank you for breaking down the Bible! This was very informative but appreciated that you were able to break it down quickly. I am new at this journey. Got baptized in 2019, but got lost during covid and found my way back this year. I'm recommitting my life to Christ. I will check out Matthew, Mark Luke John. Will stay tuned!
9/28/23- watched your 6 tips for beginner Bible study. This was my first time seeing you. You are great- we speak very similarly- with our hands, with our eyes, and basically the whole body. I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm, genuineness and the simplistic manner with which you present your material. I found this video very helpful- and I have been “in the church” all my life. But I have learned in the past few years- after finding a different church, that there is a Big difference in being “in the church” and being “in the Word” and feeling confident that you are “wholly a True Child of God Christian”. Baby steps as it’s a surprise to realize that somehow some part was missing and you didn’t know what or why. I was doing all the right things, but some part of me was still detached- even though I didn’t realize it. Thank you for obeying your calling and sharing the Passion you have for our Lord and Savior with us. I pray that your ministry, for it is truly that, touches more and more hearts for Jesus!!!
This is such an encouragement that I really needed to hear. Been feeling a bit defeated lately and God knew I needed this!! So thank you for taking the time to type that all out for me 💕 it’s appreciated more than words can say!!
**brand new student ** and new subscriber and will be following anything beginner study from you !! Thank you so much !! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much !!!
First time i have seen you. Im not new but like you said your always learning. Thanks for great ideals. Thank you Jesus for our Sister.

@@serinagbusseh3491 I suggest a study Bible. There are two in my website that are great. The quest study Bible and the Life Application Study Bible www.crazysimpletruth.com/nickispicks
@@nickidrake thanks
This is helping me so much❗️
This was good. Another resource I like is the book "The Jesus Response" by John Pohl. The book has relatable characters and is powerful.
New Student: these tips were so helpful! It’s crazy that so much was answered with just an introduction! Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I have been a Christian for years and years, and I learned a lot from this video! ❤️ you are beautiful and your personality and joy is contagious! You are gifted! 😊 do you have a specific ORDER that new people should watch your videos?
Oh that's such a good question. I guess pick a playlist and go through it, depending on what you need or want to learn ♥️👍
This is the first time I heard someone explain studying the Bible in this way. May God bless you and your family. I subscribed today
Nicki thank you so much for this video. I’m going to take your tips and include them in my bible study.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I hear all the time don't do it alone but sitting alone and reading the bible at my own pace works best for me. Taking away all distractions, wisdom pops out to me about what is going on in my life when reading the bible. Writing down verses helps to remember! A good teacher is needed as well! i
Yes, Bible reading is definitely best done alone!! But when you start studying in-depth, it helps to have others to bounce knowledge off of and ask questions 💕
New to Bible studying & thank you so much for breaking it down ! 💕 Extremelyyyy helpful 👍
Praying your studying is going well
Oh and never apologize for your kiddos in the background...I barely heard them and they are in my opinion one of God's greatest gifts to us!!!! 😇
I loved this. New student!! Many thanks from the UK. Xx
Awesome Rachael! So blessed to have you here!

Girl, you are on fire! Thanks for this. It was eye-opening. I’ve been studying Bible a long time. Sometimes clear scaffolding helps immensely. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the inspiration! New subscriber here. I became a Jesus follower 4 years ago. Just want to warn what I wish I heard more of when I was brand new to this. Make sure that the church and the Bible study group you are going to are really genuine Christ followers and not a cult!
Amen!!
Nicki, I just wrote in my Bible for the first time. I just thought, it was something that was NOT allowed! It was liberating! I feel now my Bible is now MY Bible. Thanks so much but Help- I can’t stop! Your a great teacher and thank you for everything you do.
Love this!! You go girl!
Thank you! This video has made me motivated to read the Word and study it🙏
Amen!!!
MY TIP IS AT THE END OF THE COMMENT..... But first I wanna say: I apparently belong to the minority group that started with Genesis and it worked. I know it doesn't work for everybody. I am somebody who is interested in ancient civilisations specifically, so for me it was interesting and I was caught up reading until I believed in God the creator but still wasn't sure if Jesus is God as I heard but I was so caught up reading until I eventually also reached the New Testament and ultimately believed in Jesus being the messiah promised in the Old Testament and I finally understood what everyone was talking about.
Personally, I don't think I would gain such an insight if I didn't read the Old Testament prior to the New Testament - but that's just the way I am. I know for most normal modern people get bored reading Old Testament that's why many people recommend starting straight off right in the middle of the Christian things happening - the New Testament.
I personally don't wish someone had told me to read New Testament back then, because I know myself and I know I would be missing a lot of contextual things. Old Testament prepared me in the cultural things of the Israelite Jewish nation that's why I was able to understand a lot of references made around Jesus - not only about why he said that and why he did that but also the symbolic significance of the timing of the things he did and symbolic significance of the things he did said . For example.
I don't think there is one best way to read the Bible, as we are very different, each person is unique. I felt I was called to read the Bible. Without doing any online research or asking any of my believing friends for advice, I just did it the way I strongly felt I should do it, and it eventually worked. Suddenly, I just felt SO drawn and hungry to try to read the Bible from the "beginning" and see what happens and then I just couldn't stop, I think I read almost the whole Genesis in two-three hours. + Googling stuff and references about it.
My tip for anybody reading the Bible that I wish someone would have told me is downloading the Concordance and Strongs app. I am someone who speaks a few languages so I know sometimes It's hard to give an exact word-for-word translations of the phrases, that's why we have so many Bible translations. The Concordance & Strongs app allows you to click on a word or expression that makes no sense or makes you confused and it will give you an original Hebrew or Greek word with an English definition of the expression and it will show you multiple ways how that could be translated (synonyms). I only discovered this app only when I was finishing the Old Testament, so I wish I had that earlier on. I am somebody who is always slightly suspicious of the different translations distortion and I just want to know what does the original Bible say.
I absolutely LOVE the book of Genesis but if people are brand new to Christ I feel they need to know who He is first so they can see where He is in Genesis 💕
I love that you love history btw!! So cool!!
@@nickidrake that's the thing, I wasn't new to Christ yet. I believed in God the creator, I wasn't sure who's got it right - the Jews, Christians or Muslims? I was open to any of these three groups getting it right. So I stated my journey and eventually I knew the Torah or the old testament and suddenly there was a twist for me.
Oh and I'm not that much interested in history. I hate the WW era and the 15-19 century history makes me kinda bored. History geeks tend to love these parts of history. With me, I am specifically fascinated with ancient civilisations. Be it ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Sumers, Persians, whatever ancient. Israelites came in the way and I was caught up. For me it was like watching the documentaries I watch of ancient Egypt regularly. I didn't expect the israelite civilisation to be just as interesting and developed, because they're not as famous among history geeks. Plus, on the way of learning about them, I also believed in their God, our God. 🌺 And this God got me so much I was caught up in the new testament, a life changing experience.
I was never an atheist but reading the Bible was like as if the inside of me was a messy room and somebody just came in and cleaned it up. And I'm starting new
You’re so right when you say Jesus is everywhere in the Bible! He is definitely referred to many times in the Old Testament! The Old Testament is also FULL of illustrations of God’s grace and mercy!! 💕
Could u please show me 1 scripture in each book of the old testament where Jesus is mentioned please.
@@israelite1972 To do that I would need to write an entire book, if not volumes. Even then, I would fail miserably at trying to show you what only the Spirit can. My answer is to go to Him. Take each book while on your knees before Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He will. I love your hunger to know Him better and to see Him in Scripture! It may take a lifetime, but it will be THE most amazing journey! He will radically change your life!! 💕
Pastors kid from birth here so lots of Bible exposure. I have read the Bible for years but have never really tried to study it and dig deeper. I literally prayed the other day and asked God to teach me how to study the Bible. The next day I just happened to be flipping through my hcsb Bible and discovered a section at the back on how to study the Bible. Then today this video was on my TH-cam homepage! Enjoyed this video and your energy and passion. Now enjoying your video on verse mapping. Love the instruction on how to really get as much as possible out of a verse! Thank for doing what you're doing! God bless!
This is so encouraging!! I love that you're wanting to study it for yourself!!
Thank you Nicki 💙 your teaching is uplifting, straightforward, biblical, and easy to understand. Everything seems so complicated lately, love your channel 💙
Yes Lisa everything is so complicated, I agree! It's a different world we live in right now and it can be all consuming. I'm sooooo happy you found my ministry. I pray that I can be a blessing to you!! ♥️♥️
Amen to that Nicki. I am a beginner of studying the Bible. I have been with a group of Christians for few years but I think and feel that it's not enough. I need to do more and desire more as I revere and walk with the Lord Jesus. I only bumped into your channel this morning and I subscribed instantly. I pray and hope that I will have the understanding of God’s word. Thank you God that I was lead to your channel. May God bless you more.🙏
I love you! Your video was absolutely perfect for me and delivered to me just in the right time. You have instilled me with so much more motivation and ease! I have subscribed and I am diving into your other videos. THANK YOU!
💜*NEW STUDENT* Girl, I’m so glad TH-cam put this in my feed🥰
Thank you! I had a feeling this was meant for the sisters in Christ but I learned and was inspired by a couple things you said and can't wait to join a Bible study small group at my faith driven church here where I got babtized yesterday. All glory be to the highest, hallelujah be his great name Jesus 🙌 🙏
Awesome! You can still learn from my teaching videos here on TH-cam for sure, if you don't mind that I say hello beautiful!! Yay for being baptized!!
I absolutely love your passion and it’s very apparent that He is using you!
Hi Nikki, I just discovered you. In the past at various times in my life I’d open a Bible and try reading a bit but couldn’t get into it. A few months ago I acquired an ESV which seemed more doable. They gave a 40 day study list. I’m enjoying it but almost done and didn’t know how I should proceed. This video was very helpful.
Something that is very confusing to me is the history and geography; the different “ Houses” and who was ruling whom. A video on that would be helpful.
I noticed that this video is 2 years old so I don’t even know if you’re still active but I love your upbeat personality and down to earth approach.
🥰Barbara
Hi, Barbara,
I highly recommend a video Bible resource by Brad Gray, entitled "Walking The Text - The Teaching Series." Brad explains and teaches the Bible and Biblical concepts/precepts through various contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the Bible teachings apply to your daily walk.
I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing and I have learned so much. You will be engaged, enriched, and enlightened. Each video is powerful and packed with Spiritual gems and revelations.
Brad releases an episode every Tuesday. Start with episode 1, which lays the foundation for the teaching series. (Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to import the link.) You can google "Walking the Text - The Teaching Series."
SHALOM
I'm still very active around here!! Glad you found me. I have some resource suggestions in my Amazon shop at www.amazon.com/nickidrakecrazysimpletruth 💕
really blessed. ii went through the forest before I saw the day especally because I joined an assembly that was setting up and we were all from different backgrounds
Love this, New Student and love listening to you and you break it down so well!
So glad you are here!!
So weird. I woke up at 3 this morning. I opened up Facebook. I found the Prayerful Planner, started looking for info on it and found your channel. It was just what I needed! I am not a new follower, but I have never felt I knew how to study the bible, but I was proud to finish reading all words of the bible recently. Once done, I thought, now what? I need to somehow organize my thinking. With the Prayerful Planner and your tips I am excited to move forward. I hope I can journal my journey in a way that is memorable to me.
I was looking through a powerpoint for a new curriculum I started using in my class lastnight. One sentence stood out to me- "nothing exceptional happens without enthusiasm." Thanks for your enthusiam, it is contagious!
Awe Miran your story is inspirational ♥️ I am so glad you are ready to dig into the Bible!! It has to go from reading for INFORMATION to studying for TRANSFORMATION. And then you will be amazed at how much Jesus changes your everyday life!! So happy you are here!!
Thank you so much, this is so refreshing ❤ Reading my Bible will be so much fun with you. God bless you and strengthen you in Jesus Name, amen
Thank you for sharing. I am a beginner and I am learning. I will be watching your tutorials so I continue my Bible Study. I am so glad I had stubble on your channel.
I'm so happy you did too!!!!
Hello! I'm so happy I found you today! What a blessing. Thank you for breaking down the chapters of the bible, wish I had known this before! Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos 😊 so excited to start this bible study journey. God bless you and your family. 🤗
I keep it simple: A quiet place, start by praying by asking God to impress your mind with truth to send his Spirit to show you. Open His Word, start in theNew Testament, Matthew and slowly read thinking about it and what God wants you to understand. I journal and this is so important. Write about what you read. Make it real. Pray! You will grow in Christ. Do this everyday. Be consistent and your life will change.
This was very informative and it really helps me to understand the books of the Bible and what to expect from each one. I must say when first started reading the Bible years ago I was so confused as to what I was reading and how to pronounce the words and names. I listen/watch the late Pastor Stephen Darby (Destiny Ministries) and I have learned so much from his Bible studies. I have not ever heard of anyone like him who speaks the word to where I am able to truly understand. It is unfortunate that he is no longer with us but thank God for his wife, family, and ministry that keep his videos going. I do my best to make it a point to listen to his teachings at least once a week. (Very informative). Thank you for your help as well I will definitely check out your website I would love to see what's in store there. Have a blessed rest of your day.
Hi, Stefanie,
I am sharing with as many people as possible because there is a video Biblical resource I recently discovered. It is so amazing, and I so highly recommend it. The series is hosted Brad Gray and entitled "Walking The Text - The Teaching Series."
Brad is a wonderfully gifted Christian man who lived and studied in Israel. He explains the Bible through various contextual lenses (e.g., culture, history, geography, language, etc). He also helps you see how the teachings apply to your daily walk.
I thought I knew the Bible pretty well, but this resource has been amazing and I have learned so much. You will be engaged and enlightened. Each video is powerful and packed with Spiritual gems and revelations.
Brad releases an episode every Tuesday. Start with episode 1, which lays the foundation for the teaching series. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to paste in the link, but you can google "Walking the Text - The Teaching Series."

Just came across this video! I am a newbie & this was thankful! God bless you & this wasn't an accident that I came across your video❤
The 66 books are divided between OT (39 books) and NT (27 books). Easy to remember is 3 times 9 (i.e. OT books) is 27 + 39 = 66 Books.
I have been a Christian for 25 yrs and still learning in fact I really didn't know about the braking down of the books. Thank you so very much. Bless you

I would love to go to church and I would love to engage in a church and be a part of a group...I agree with you in the fact you should not do this alone...but I am not able to because of my work.
I'm so glad my video showed up in your recommendations. We have a Facebook group and Patreon if you're interested in joining an online group!! ♥️
So glad I found your video. A few close friends want to start a weekly study and we are stuck on where to begin. I’m a new beginner. I purchased a bible a couple of days ago and I’m excited. Please share more tips. Thank you!!
Hello there....I use to have energy like you...a long time ago:-) ...I'm excited to start my newbie bible journey....so YES!!! Please give us Bible study tips for (beginners) ... for me the Bible is very complex...how to approach and read it would be a great start...Thank you!!🤗🌹🇨🇭
Thanks for the ideas Jackie!! Definitely going to do more videos for beginners!! Blessings 🥰
OMGG where have you been all my life!!!! I have been looking for something like this. I learned so much in this video. Thank you so much. Sharing with my Bible group.
6, Don't do it alone! I have to... I have no one to study with. But, I guess you could say I am not alone has I have the Holy Spirit with me. We all do! When I was in a group bible study no one cared whether I showed up or not. They wouldn't even call me to let me know they weren't having it that day. I need beginner study videos.
You could join my Bible study group, the Crazy Simple Study Sisters. We'd love to have you!! You can learn more at www.crazysimpletruth.com
I have been saved since 2012 and baptized in 2018 , sometimes I think I waited too many years to get baptized . I loved your video !!!! God Bless You !!!!
