I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos. They have truly helped me with my Bible study. One thing I'm still struggling with is the pressure that when I'm studying I have to make sure I get everything (all of the context, meaning, facts, etc) all at once. That I can't miss anything. So I really appreciated it when you said it's ok to miss something because we have the rest of our lives to study the Bible.
I wouldn’t put so much emphasis on getting everything all at once, just learn as you can. My pastor has been preaching for 30+ years and still finds new stuff when he reads through it 😊 I love that it’s truly God’s living word ❤
The point is the Bible will always be applicable to your life & to society. Make sure you don’t just read the Bible once & be done with it. Make a promise to yourself that you’ll read it daily, and it will speak to you daily.
WOHOO! I am so glad. I poured my heart out in it. It's not only my passion to think and learn about this stuff but also struggle through how to communicate it well!
Faith, you, along with the pull on my heart from Jesus, have helped impact my life and how I study the Bible. This is the first time I am reading the Bible. I grew up Catholic but I was never taught how to read the Bible, I was just told that I needed to read it. I had tried on multiple occasions but found it so difficult and was discouraged because I didn’t understand it. I thought there was something wrong with me. Your videos started to appear on my feed and you reignited the need I’ve had to understand God’s word. I didn’t know there were any resources to help explain it to me. Right now, I am slowly working through it, I have a ways to go, but your videos and encouragement has really helped me. I was able to get some of the resources you have suggested in past videos and has made such a difference. At the moment, my notes are geared towards, plain and simple, understanding what I’m reading. Thank you thank you thank you and may God bless you and your family for the work that you do.
Faith, God allowed me to "find" you here. I am thankful that you are sharing the wisdom that the Lord has given to you. I appreciate your ministry so much. It has helped me to grow closer to Him.😊
I’ve been telling myself for years that I need to read/study the bible, unfortunately growing up I never build a reading habit. I just bought the spiral bible and you came across my search here . I’m so excited to finally learn and become knowledgeable in God’s word ❤ 🙏🏻. Thank you so much for your videos .
Your videos are especially heart warming for me... This is my first time reading the Bible ever and I have God and You to thank for that... I absolutely love using your cliff notes for my Bible... They are soooo information Rich and a great item to have in your Bible ❤ 🎉I 100% recommend your cliff notes to anyone 🥰 P.S. Bible Study Bootcamp is Amazing I'm really learning a whole lot and definitely recommend this course to anyone 😊and I truly Love your Grace Bible Reading Plan 😊 Just finished My first month with Genesis and Acts 🎉❤
I have the same mindset you do when it comes to Bible journaling. While I’m reading my Bible, I like to have notes that explain what I’m reading. I had a note in one of my Bibles that said “company’s coming”. I have no idea what it means now. 😂 Also, I sometimes find Bible journaling, Bible notetaking, Bible study difficult because I don’t want to get it wrong. Love all your videos! ❤
I am a new mother and new reader of the Bible and your channel inspired me to buy a Bible for my daughter and read it through in her first year of life. I am going to make highlights and notes for her throughout the process, and gift it to her when she is ready ❤️ 📖 May I be guided by the Holy Spirit 🥰 thank you so much for your guidance!
Thank you for all of your fun videos and helping others to seek Him daily in all the glory of His Truth. You have definitely helped to change my Bible study habits and is now something that I daily look forward to rather than a task. Keep up His Kingdom work!
Faith, thank you! Your videos have given me the excitement to go further into the word. As a result, I am becoming a mature Christian in my faith and feel confident about sharing Jesus with others. Thank you for all your hard work in your ministry. God Bless you. ❤
We also call all soda coke! I was raised in GA. Thank you so much for all your great teaching videos! I am almost ready to begin your year long bible study. Can not wait! So excited!
I “found” you a week or so ago and I can’t catch up fast enough! I ordered some of the books you recommended a long while back and today the first one arrived; How to Read the Bible for all ITS Worth!! Digging in tonight! Thank you for YOU!!!!
@@HowtoFaithALifeI just finished uploading my cliff notes! I’m sure they’ll be as full of valuable info as they are beautiful!!! Not starting my class until my new interleaved Bible arrives, but you have me so on fire for the LORD! Thank you for being such a woman after God’s own Heart!!!!
You add so much (and have added since you started your channel) to my Bible study! Your willingness to offer in depth information and excitement while you’re doing it are so incredibly important to my life and walk with Christ! Thank you!
So thankful for your channel! I used to be afraid to write in my Bible, let alone take notes. Honestly, though, it makes a huge difference in my relationship to Christ, since I learn by writing. On a side note, I'm in SC and I say 'coke' for all soda drinks too.
I don’t feel confident in the Bible. I am doing your grace read the Bible in the year. I have taken your bootcamp. I know how I just feel like I don’t know how to understand like you do. You break things down so well. It’s a goal of mine to be better at really studying the Bible.
Please don't be discouraged. I've been studying for 3 years and I don't know everything Faith knows and I def. Can't speak of it so eloquently but I know alot more than I did 3 years ago and my love and relationship with the Lord has grown. Faith is a special soul with a wonderful gift. We have gifts as well. The more I learn the less I know. It's crazy. But I love it. We can be a wonderful examples to others even if we don't feel we can relay info in a perfect way to others. The Lord will use us just where we are. God bless you. ❤
I've been watching all of you videos, from the beginning b/c i just found you about a month or so ago, and i have learned so much!! Im 64 (almost 65 yikes, 😬), and i started back in the Bible a couple of years ago. I'm following a person here on TH-cam with the bible study and I'm so loving her, then i go find you and both of y'all are so helpful. THANK YOU!!! Thank you for your time. The Holy Spirit is calling me all the time to go to the word. Seriously, i want to study the bible all day long! I can not get enough. Anyway, im blabbering, haha, but thank you again for all you do. God bless you. You are awesome!!😊
I can totally relate to the part "the Holy Spirit is calling me to go read the Bible and I can't seem to get enough of it " . That is something I could have written myself at this phase of my life . I started to read the Bible (10/7/24). Yes I do know about the Bible as a Christian but oh mine has it been an eye opener studying HIS word inductively .. I could literally do it all day if I had no kids and husband to attend to. Wish I knew how to read his word and build my relationship stronger with HIM a while back before having kids and all that but in another breadth I BELIEVE GOD's timing is the best and only HIM knows when it took me this long to get closer in HIS WORD. Praise be to God almighty for HIS REDEEMING WORDS IN THE BIBLE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT (now I am the one blabbing hahahaha. ). Peace to you.
Thank you!!!! 🎉 im as crafty and "scrappy" as they get, but this is true bible journaling! Why it matters, pratically how to stay faithful to the authoritative word of God in our interpretation and application. I need the reminder that we dont study Gods word in a vacuum. We all do. So thank you again, friend. ❤
You were given a special gift, my friend. Praying constant renewal and energy to keep it coming under the pressures of a family and being 1st lady 😊. You are a true blessing. Hoping your Patreons continue to grow. Thank you for the sweet note on my 1 year anniversary.
Thank you Faith. My heart wants to know more about Jesus and the bible. This video brings another way of understanding God's word. I am grateful to my pastor and others who are like minded in giving clarity to the Word.
Hi Faith! This video was so helpful in reigniting my desire to finish strong for the Grace Bible Reading Plan and going deeper into God’s Word. I think my biggest struggle is getting in my head too much and finding it’s hard to get started when there’s SO much information. I also feel like I don’t feel qualified to study and take notes. My eyes miss information all the time and I feel like that’s why it’s easier for me to have someone else break it down and do the leg work for me. But I would love to get to a place where I can break down passages of scripture into digestible chunks and pieces and know what to look for or where to go for accurate resources to help me process the Bible better.
Howdy' new here. Love the tips! Wanted to leave ya one of my own. In OK, we have bible hi-gliders. They are highlighters in Crayola form. NO bleed throughs!! Many colors. I use my colors often, also.
Faith, Thank you for your videos. They have taught me a lot. I have two study bibles that I am currently but I am really looking into doing more notes in my bible. I appreciate my study bibles, but I like the note taking ideas.
I love my chunky Bible thanks to learning more about using it as my life resource. Taking notes and digging deeper has helped my understand it better, and appreciate it's richness. Thank you, for your part to getting me to this place of STUDY! ❤
Hello! I'm a new subscriber from the Philippines. I want to study the Bible but don't know where to start, how long it will take, or when to begin. As a mother of three, I want to deepen my relationship with God and dedicate time to this every day, despite my busy schedule. whoooo! You're a motivation!
I have followed your channel for a few years now and on Patreon for over a year as well and this video is up there in my Top 5 favorites! I love videos that lay out steps like this in detail how to Bible study where you share your personal experience/routine etc with the topic, where you give background information about the Bible/Bibke topic itself and then give a Scripture reference along with the example your talking about! I may not be explaining what I’m trying to say well, however I really enjoyed this video… 💛💛
Wow, there is so much information in this video that I have saved it to watch over and over so I can absorb it all. Thanks, Faith for sharing how you take notes in your Bible....
Faith I'd like to suggest you do a read through your Bible in 6 months in the new year. We all need encouragement to get in the word and I think this could be fun for all!
I just had to share! I am reading a book "How we got the Bible" by Neil Lightfoot and it is fabulous. But what I want to share is he walks you through the history of manuscripts though time. And in the early translations into the east from the medieval time period they would write notes or comments on the meaning of the text just like we do today. There has been a long history of Bible journaling! Lol
Faith or you could do read the New Testament in 3 or 6 months. That could generate interest in your reading plan! Thanks so much for your videos and I appreciate that you responded to a question I had a few weeks ago. You are the bomb Faith 💕.
Thank you for these videos. I am adding commentary and dictionaries to aid in my studies. I just ordered your cliff notes. Can't wait to add them to my Bible!
I watched one of your videos where you talk about using the bible dictionary and this was a GAME changer for me and my note taking. It helps give me a waaaaaay deeper understanding of things. Thank you so much.
I have finally decided to take on the journey of Bible journaling after ao many years of feeling like I should never ever mark in my Bible, and I just wanted to thank you for that. I truly feel that God led me to your channel to speak to me and tell me that it's okay to write in your Bible. I just want you to know Me. So I bought my first ever journaling bible and I'm excited to get started! Could you make a video on how you made the cute little tassled page and what page it marks and why? Or if you've already made a video on it, point in the direction of it? 😊
How nice this video! It's very interesting, I liked it much. Her speech is very dinamic and loud, as well as the takes of your Bible. Great work, congratulations for this youtuber-woman.
This one is so very practical and helpful!! I love the historical part and look forward to getting into it! I have often wondered where the preachers find out that part...so interesting! Thank you for your passion and your ministry! 💚💙💜
Boy did the lord send this video at the right time !!! I am currently in Numbers and I am like “oh my” where is Jesus in here ? So many rules and so much blood shed……but then it hit me like a ton of bricks….we could never follow all those rules and we needed Jesus to shed HiS blood to save us all….. but I was struggling for a long time today lol. God bless you for this video!! I feel like it’s a very needed video for many reasons.
Faith! This video was excellent!! I’ve been following you for quite some time and was thrilled to find you because you take meaningful notes in your Bible, and don’t just do the cutesy stuff I see everywhere else. I’ve taken sermon and study notes in my Bible for years, but your inspiration now has me digging deeper and using some really great reference books, too, which has really helped me so so much! Your Cliff’s Notes are now glued into my Bible and have been so helpful, along with giving me the extra space for notes on the back side. 😉 I don’t know that I’ve ever commented before, but today’s video was so so good and so so helpful, I just wanted to say thank you!
This was great! I learned another new thing to do in my Bible studies! I get what you mean about the coke drink, even though that's something I've not heard before. I know I'm the same by calling all vacuum cleaners Hoovers, despite Hoover being a particular brand lol!!
Only 3 minutes in and already loving this video! I can definitely relate to feeling a little discouraged when those passages come hahaha I would say that my issue is not knowing which resources to use. As in, there are so many commentaries/ helpful material that I don’t know what is the best to use for my current knowledge of biblical teachings. Have a good and blessed weekend ❤
@@HowtoFaithALife I’d say that using commentaries is a little strange. Everybody has a different understanding of the Bible and I haven’t even figured out my own views hahaha I find your videos super helpful because you have a lot of resources on this topic but I still find it hard.
I am a recent convert from the lds (Mormon) church that I converted to when I was 23, I’m 39 now. I have a lot of trauma from growing up in abuse to an abusive marriage to other traumas. I also have mental illnesses. I was just baptized back in April nd am trying my best. I’m in celebrate recovery which is an amazing program, and I also am out patient of a mental institution. I have health issues too, that’s not even my full story just a brief context. That being said, I struggle in faith. I struggle trusting God. I struggle with trusting him as a father because I didn’t have a stable parental relationship with either parent or my adoptive mother (bio grandmother). It’s not that I don’t want to let go, I struggle with pulling the walls down. I’m 39 yers old and I still don’t know my purpose. I have a broken marriage and couldn’t have children. Where do I go from here. I keep getting the whole “I’m on the right path” thing by the minister I speak to at my church, but I feel like I’m lacking somewhere or that I could be doing more. Or would that just be the enemy trying to get me to burnout? I won’t lie, I give up. I don’t want to be that person who goes to the alter weekly to give my life to Christ. Do you recommend anything?
I’m a Catholic who has some of the same issues as you. Please know that there is value in your suffering. You can offer it to the Lord in a profound way, as He offered his suffering for us. He already knows you love Him so be still in the knowledge. Sit with Him in silence and know that you are not alone. And when He wills, He will point you in the right direction. ❤
Thank you for your videos, they are very inspiring and encouraging. What I struggle with is time for indepth studies. I want to spend 3+ hours every day. I am also a single mom of 2 kids, full-time nurse, and full-time student. I feel guilty about not making time. At the same time there are days when I get less than 4 hours of sleep, so I don’t know where I would fit that time. Any recommendations?
Thank you for this video. It was amazing! I have purchased your Bible study Boot Camp and theology Boot Camp as well as your grace Bible reading plan and your other book study. My question is I wanna be in the Bible scripture reading daily but I just don’t know where to start because of the context thing that you mentioned in your video today. With the grace Bible reading plan does that give context like you explained in the video of the chapters before and after on each one of the readings? Or as a beginner am I better off starting with reading a new testament book from beginning to end?
You can't and will never fully be able to get all the context and all the reading and all the stuffs every single day. Just read. Just be in the Bible. If you can spend an extra amount of time studying on top of that, then get into context, resources, etc but if you are struggling to read the Bible daily, that's the first priority to get reading the Bible!
Ok I’m going out on a limb here and gonna be vulnerable. My Bible Study struggles are fears of taking things out of context (followed pastors that did and fell for them no idea that they were taking things out of context) also I know I’m supposed to read the passage a few times asking questions along the way. Finding answers for myself first and then going to commentaries and dictionaries after I’ve outlined it myself and found answers myself. I’m ADD a bit and am impatient or worried I’ll forget my questions and maybe to excited to find answers by the time I’ve read only a sentence or paragraph and so I go looking in a commentary or dictionary and then get distracted continuing to read the commentary/dictionary on rabbit trails and before I know it an hour has gone by and I haven’t read my Bible study fully just the commentary/dictionary. How do I force myself to read the full study then look for answers? How do I not forget my questions. Also it frustrates me when I read a bunch of commentaries and they all agree on an outline for that passage and then someone else has a completely different one more in depth!! I feel like I’m doing something wrong everytime this happens (back to the false teachers I fell for I feel like I’m doing that with outlines too). Hope I’m making sense. It’s embarrassing to admit I get distracted by commentaries and that I fell for false teachers. Thanks for this video Faith so good!!💕
Please don’t be embarrassed. What I see in your post that you are hungry for the Word! I’d suggest reading a chapter at a time, then, go back and look at dictionaries and commentaries.
2:36 ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!! I bought some resources I was excited, and I felt like I didn’t get anywhere 😫. Are we suppose to study the whole book? A Passage? Like I just felt defeated. lol
You can study a book, a verse, or a chapter. I do my daily Bible reading and if I come across a word, verse, or chapter I don't understand I break out the commentaries, bible dictionary or map to help guide me. I also use bible hub to do a word study in hebrew or Greek. Don't be discouraged. We will never know everything, but as long as you are learning and growing your relationship with our LORD and Savior, that is all that matters. God bless, please don't be discouraged.
As soon as you said that so many couples have met at wells, I instantly thought of Jesus, followed by the story you told of the woman at the well, where Jesus offers her living water, and I think I might have just made a realization. Jesus has been there, (thru the water well) when these couples meet, almost like a premonition of Jesus being a part of a marriage. I think.
Hello, I'm very new to the lord and learning from nothing. How do you know what scripture/ verse you're going to read each day? How do you know what God wants you to study?
Hello, How do you decide what to st udy, how much, and for how long? Do you just happen to run across a verse or concept that captures your attention and go from there? In your position, you will be receiving info from all directions ~ Genesis to Revelation (I am weary of redoing 1st few chapters of Genesis) The Gospels - Hebrews,Galatians,Ephesians? I am bouncing all over the place like those ball spitting machines. I found a few YT Bible Study platforms, but I can't do everything at once.... Any suggestions, please?
@@HowtoFaithALifeoh thank you so much❤ Just reading the Bible knowledge C. You recommend.thank you for this. Those are such blessing. ❤❤❤do i understand right, they are written at where you come from and you have studied? 🤔🤔🤔 I speak german😅😅

Can you please explain how you come to know God, the creator of the universe, through reading a book? It seems kinda crazy to me. A genuine question sorry if it comes off as ignorant 😅😊🥰
It’s not a “book”, it’s a collection of books that under God’s inspiration is here to lead us. You’ll never know how that works until you actually do it.
I love that you asked!! The Book is how The Lord chose to reveal Himself.... Words. He loves them! He even loves hearing words from us. It becomes a relationship where we can tell Him anything and He uses His Words (as we read them) to show us His thoughts and ideas, His heart. He's pretty amazing, actually. 😍🤗
I’m sure you have shared this information already and I have missed it. What Bible are you using for study? Thank you for your pleasing and informative videos.
Faith! I have a very random question... what are the dimensions of your Bible?? Also, thank you so much for your videos. You are an inspiration spiritually as well as creatively!! 🎉❤

My friend turned me onto your videos. I've watched a few now, and am digging them! Thanks for putting more Christian content on the TH-cam! Blessings
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing this information; it impacts my Bible study in such a positive way!
Beautifully explained🥰 Love your videos❤️
Thank you for making my return to Bible study enjoyable
So good! I didn’t catch that men met their wives at wells in all the times I’ve read the story of the woman at the well.
Thank you Faith. My heart wants to know more about Jesus and the bible. This video brings another way of understanding God's word. I am grateful to my pastor and others who are like minded in giving clarity to the Word.
Hi Faith! This video was so helpful in reigniting my desire to finish strong for the Grace Bible Reading Plan and going deeper into God’s Word. I think my biggest struggle is getting in my head too much and finding it’s hard to get started when there’s SO much information. I also feel like I don’t feel qualified to study and take notes. My eyes miss information all the time and I feel like that’s why it’s easier for me to have someone else break it down and do the leg work for me. But I would love to get to a place where I can break down passages of scripture into digestible chunks and pieces and know what to look for or where to go for accurate resources to help me process the Bible better.
Excellent video and straightforward information on bible study. So glad that I found your youtube channel.😊
Wow, thank you!
Howdy' new here. Love the tips! Wanted to leave ya one of my own. In OK, we have bible hi-gliders. They are highlighters in Crayola form. NO bleed throughs!! Many colors. I use my colors often, also.
Faith, Thank you for your videos. They have taught me a lot. I have two study bibles that I am currently but I am really looking into doing more notes in my bible. I appreciate my study bibles, but I like the note taking ideas.
I love my chunky Bible thanks to learning more about using it as my life resource. Taking notes and digging deeper has helped my understand it better, and appreciate it's richness. Thank you, for your part to getting me to this place of STUDY! ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼 love this❤
Hello! I'm a new subscriber from the Philippines. I want to study the Bible but don't know where to start, how long it will take, or when to begin. As a mother of three, I want to deepen my relationship with God and dedicate time to this every day, despite my busy schedule. whoooo! You're a motivation!
I have followed your channel for a few years now and on Patreon for over a year as well and this video is up there in my Top 5 favorites! I love videos that lay out steps like this in detail how to Bible study where you share your personal experience/routine etc with the topic, where you give background information about the Bible/Bibke topic itself and then give a Scripture reference along with the example your talking about! I may not be explaining what I’m trying to say well, however I really enjoyed this video… 💛💛
Wow, there is so much information in this video that I have saved it to watch over and over so I can absorb it all. Thanks, Faith for sharing how you take notes in your Bible....
Glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful!! Loved it!
I'm so happy to hear that!
“I don’t know why I’m doing the robot right now” hilarious! Such a great a video 😊
Such an incredible and helpful video, Faith! Where did you get your cross candle from? It’s so beautiful!
Wow! This is so so so well done! Praise God for your faithfulness to this ministry. It is changing lives. ❤❤❤
Great tips! ❤❤❤ thank you for all the information and examples with your explanations. So helpful
Thank you, Faith, for your wonderful ideas.
Faith I'd like to suggest you do a read through your Bible in 6 months in the new year. We all need encouragement to get in the word and I think this could be fun for all!
I just had to share! I am reading a book "How we got the Bible" by Neil Lightfoot and it is fabulous. But what I want to share is he walks you through the history of manuscripts though time. And in the early translations into the east from the medieval time period they would write notes or comments on the meaning of the text just like we do today. There has been a long history of Bible journaling! Lol
This was very insightful! ❤
Thank you for this amazing video Faith. It’s really helped me to focus my bible study and not to be discouraged by some of the harder text.
I'm so glad!
Faith or you could do read the New Testament in 3 or 6 months. That could generate interest in your reading plan! Thanks so much for your videos and I appreciate that you responded to a question I had a few weeks ago. You are the bomb Faith 💕.
Thank you for these videos. I am adding commentary and dictionaries to aid in my studies. I just ordered your cliff notes. Can't wait to add them to my Bible!
Such a timely video for me. Thank you!
So glad! God is so cool when He lines stuff up like that!
I'm new to really studying the Bible this is very helpful.
I literally wish I could give this video a million thumbs up. Faith this video is AMAZING and soooooo edifying and necessary for the body of Christ!!
Oh wow, yay! Thank you!
I watched one of your videos where you talk about using the bible dictionary and this was a GAME changer for me and my note taking. It helps give me a waaaaaay deeper understanding of things. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your view on application. It’s so very helpful!
Glad you think so!
I have finally decided to take on the journey of Bible journaling after ao many years of feeling like I should never ever mark in my Bible, and I just wanted to thank you for that. I truly feel that God led me to your channel to speak to me and tell me that it's okay to write in your Bible. I just want you to know Me. So I bought my first ever journaling bible and I'm excited to get started!
Could you make a video on how you made the cute little tassled page and what page it marks and why? Or if you've already made a video on it, point in the direction of it? 😊
Ahhh yes, I get so discouraged getting through all the prophesies as well. I just remind myself that their here for a reason.
Thank you for this. I would like to see more on application. There is where I struggle.
Thank you so much for sparking my interest in actually studying the Bible and not just sit in church and listening.
YAY! I am so happy to hear that!
I absolutely love your videos, you’ve helped me so much be in the word; but my question for you is what’s your favorite country singer!😊
How nice this video! It's very interesting, I liked it much. Her speech is very dinamic and loud, as well as the takes of your Bible. Great work, congratulations for this youtuber-woman.
This one is so very practical and helpful!! I love the historical part and look forward to getting into it! I have often wondered where the preachers find out that part...so interesting! Thank you for your passion and your ministry! 💚💙💜
Faith on 🔥! Thank you 🙌. I’ll BOLO for Ex 34:6. 👀
Boy did the lord send this video at the right time !!! I am currently in Numbers and I am like “oh my” where is Jesus in here ? So many rules and so much blood shed……but then it hit me like a ton of bricks….we could never follow all those rules and we needed Jesus to shed HiS blood to save us all….. but I was struggling for a long time today lol. God bless you for this video!! I feel like it’s a very needed video for many reasons.
Praise the Lord! I'm so happy to hear that!
Faith! This video was excellent!! I’ve been following you for quite some time and was thrilled to find you because you take meaningful notes in your Bible, and don’t just do the cutesy stuff I see everywhere else. I’ve taken sermon and study notes in my Bible for years, but your inspiration now has me digging deeper and using some really great reference books, too, which has really helped me so so much! Your Cliff’s Notes are now glued into my Bible and have been so helpful, along with giving me the extra space for notes on the back side. 😉 I don’t know that I’ve ever commented before, but today’s video was so so good and so so helpful, I just wanted to say thank you!
This was great! I learned another new thing to do in my Bible studies! I get what you mean about the coke drink, even though that's something I've not heard before. I know I'm the same by calling all vacuum cleaners Hoovers, despite Hoover being a particular brand lol!!
Can you make videos on how to reignite that fire for studying and hopping down those rabbit trails?
Thank you for this!
Soooo good about the well thing i mightve yelled out loud 😂
hahahah :)
Thank u for all this
Only 3 minutes in and already loving this video! I can definitely relate to feeling a little discouraged when those passages come hahaha I would say that my issue is not knowing which resources to use. As in, there are so many commentaries/ helpful material that I don’t know what is the best to use for my current knowledge of biblical teachings. Have a good and blessed weekend ❤
I get that! I just try everything lol 😅but is there something you don’t feel comfortable using in Bible study?
@@HowtoFaithALife I’d say that using commentaries is a little strange. Everybody has a different understanding of the Bible and I haven’t even figured out my own views hahaha I find your videos super helpful because you have a lot of resources on this topic but I still find it hard.
@@HowtoFaithALifeI don’t understand Strong’s and how to apply this to Bible studying 😩
Really good!!
Great video
I am a recent convert from the lds (Mormon) church that I converted to when I was 23, I’m 39 now. I have a lot of trauma from growing up in abuse to an abusive marriage to other traumas. I also have mental illnesses. I was just baptized back in April nd am trying my best. I’m in celebrate recovery which is an amazing program, and I also am out patient of a mental institution. I have health issues too, that’s not even my full story just a brief context.
That being said, I struggle in faith. I struggle trusting God. I struggle with trusting him as a father because I didn’t have a stable parental relationship with either parent or my adoptive mother (bio grandmother). It’s not that I don’t want to let go, I struggle with pulling the walls down. I’m 39 yers old and I still don’t know my purpose. I have a broken marriage and couldn’t have children. Where do I go from here. I keep getting the whole “I’m on the right path” thing by the minister I speak to at my church, but I feel like I’m lacking somewhere or that I could be doing more. Or would that just be the enemy trying to get me to burnout? I won’t lie, I give up. I don’t want to be that person who goes to the alter weekly to give my life to Christ. Do you recommend anything?
I’m a Catholic who has some of the same issues as you. Please know that there is value in your suffering. You can offer it to the Lord in a profound way, as He offered his suffering for us. He already knows you love Him so be still in the knowledge. Sit with Him in silence and know that you are not alone. And when He wills, He will point you in the right direction. ❤
I would also love to see more Hebrew or Greek word study videos
Thank you for your videos, they are very inspiring and encouraging. What I struggle with is time for indepth studies. I want to spend 3+ hours every day. I am also a single mom of 2 kids, full-time nurse, and full-time student. I feel guilty about not making time. At the same time there are days when I get less than 4 hours of sleep, so I don’t know where I would fit that time. Any recommendations?
Thank you for this video. It was amazing! I have purchased your Bible study Boot Camp and theology Boot Camp as well as your grace Bible reading plan and your other book study. My question is I wanna be in the Bible scripture reading daily but I just don’t know where to start because of the context thing that you mentioned in your video today. With the grace Bible reading plan does that give context like you explained in the video of the chapters before and after on each one of the readings? Or as a beginner am I better off starting with reading a new testament book from beginning to end?
You can't and will never fully be able to get all the context and all the reading and all the stuffs every single day. Just read. Just be in the Bible. If you can spend an extra amount of time studying on top of that, then get into context, resources, etc but if you are struggling to read the Bible daily, that's the first priority to get reading the Bible!
@@HowtoFaithALife thank you!!!
Ok I’m going out on a limb here and gonna be vulnerable. My Bible Study struggles are fears of taking things out of context (followed pastors that did and fell for them no idea that they were taking things out of context) also I know I’m supposed to read the passage a few times asking questions along the way. Finding answers for myself first and then going to commentaries and dictionaries after I’ve outlined it myself and found answers myself. I’m ADD a bit and am impatient or worried I’ll forget my questions and maybe to excited to find answers by the time I’ve read only a sentence or paragraph and so I go looking in a commentary or dictionary and then get distracted continuing to read the commentary/dictionary on rabbit trails and before I know it an hour has gone by and I haven’t read my Bible study fully just the commentary/dictionary. How do I force myself to read the full study then look for answers? How do I not forget my questions. Also it frustrates me when I read a bunch of commentaries and they all agree on an outline for that passage and then someone else has a completely different one more in depth!! I feel like I’m doing something wrong everytime this happens (back to the false teachers I fell for I feel like I’m doing that with outlines too). Hope I’m making sense. It’s embarrassing to admit I get distracted by commentaries and that I fell for false teachers. Thanks for this video Faith so good!!💕
Please don’t be embarrassed. What I see in your post that you are hungry for the Word! I’d suggest reading a chapter at a time, then, go back and look at dictionaries and commentaries.
2:36 ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!! I bought some resources I was excited, and I felt like I didn’t get anywhere 😫. Are we suppose to study the whole book? A Passage? Like I just felt defeated. lol
You can study a book, a verse, or a chapter. I do my daily Bible reading and if I come across a word, verse, or chapter I don't understand I break out the commentaries, bible dictionary or map to help guide me. I also use bible hub to do a word study in hebrew or Greek. Don't be discouraged. We will never know everything, but as long as you are learning and growing your relationship with our LORD and Savior, that is all that matters. God bless, please don't be discouraged.
As soon as you said that so many couples have met at wells, I instantly thought of Jesus, followed by the story you told of the woman at the well, where Jesus offers her living water, and I think I might have just made a realization. Jesus has been there, (thru the water well) when these couples meet, almost like a premonition of Jesus being a part of a marriage. I think.
Books or references of what times where like during biblical times. Cultural backgrounds reference books etc.
Hello, I'm very new to the lord and learning from nothing. How do you know what scripture/ verse you're going to read each day? How do you know what God wants you to study?
Faith thanks for yet another video. I still lack confidence and whether I am truly going deeper or not. Any ideas on this?
Hello, How do you decide what to st udy, how much, and for how long? Do you just happen to run across a verse or concept that captures your attention and go from there? In your position, you will be receiving info from all directions ~ Genesis to Revelation (I am weary of redoing 1st few chapters of Genesis) The Gospels - Hebrews,Galatians,Ephesians? I am bouncing all over the place like those ball spitting machines. I found a few YT Bible Study platforms, but I can't do everything at once.... Any suggestions, please?
We use CMA as an acronym at work, but it stands for cover my... uh, anatomy.
Yuhuuu🎉 Faiths video❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉📚
hehe :) hope it blesses you!
@@HowtoFaithALifeoh thank you so much❤
Just reading the Bible knowledge C. You recommend.thank you for this. Those are such blessing.
❤❤❤do i understand right, they are written at where you come from and you have studied? 🤔🤔🤔
I speak german😅😅
Love all your videos, Bible prayerjournal,scrapbooking. It help a lot. Blessed sunday❤❤❤
Hi Faith, I would like to know which bible dictionary you use or would recommend? Thank you. I love your videos and you!
You can find them on my amazon storefront here: www.amazon.com/shop/howtofaithalife?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfhowtofaithalife_3X3T3GVXEFWCZ2SZS54V
Can you please explain how you come to know God, the creator of the universe, through reading a book? It seems kinda crazy to me. A genuine question sorry if it comes off as ignorant 😅😊🥰
It’s not a “book”, it’s a collection of books that under God’s inspiration is here to lead us. You’ll never know how that works until you actually do it.
I love that you asked!! The Book is how The Lord chose to reveal Himself.... Words. He loves them! He even loves hearing words from us. It becomes a relationship where we can tell Him anything and He uses His Words (as we read them) to show us His thoughts and ideas, His heart. He's pretty amazing, actually. 😍🤗
I’m sure you have shared this information already and I have missed it. What Bible are you using for study? Thank you for your pleasing and informative videos.
Amen sis 💖💞💖💞💖💪💪💪💪💪
Faith! I have a very random question... what are the dimensions of your Bible??
Also, thank you so much for your videos. You are an inspiration spiritually as well as creatively!! 🎉❤
Do you think you'll have Crew and Co rebind your Bible again since it's grown so much?
Faith, can you do a video on Ecclesiastes?
