For the last three years I've been hand writing the bible it is my goal to write the whole Bible before I die I'm 77 now I watch your app every day it helps ,,,I don't always agree with you but I need to listen to other people if I stody for the rest of my life I'll never understand it all,,,
"Do what is going to keep you coming back to the Word of God...." Bless you, Faith! God has gifted you to see that He has made us all unique and that there isn't one 'right way' to Bible journal. You are truly fighting Biblical Illiteracy and raising up a new generation of Bible Nerds! ✝💜
I am bilingual, I started learning about the Bible in spanish so now I have decided to do it in english since I am now going to an english speaking church. I have read many translations but I always try to stay in Word for word however since I’m a beginner in this language I am sticking with CSB because that was the one that called to me and I seem to understand better. Someday I hope I can study it in other translations.
Thank you for your channel. I battled for years trying to get my Bible reading to be a joy and your ideas (and the Holy Spirit) reminded me that as a dyslexic I learn differently. Adding colour, notes and pictures to my study has truly given me a new love for Gods Word. ❤
Amazing! I never thought I would be able to read the bible and understand it and want to read more! But you have helped me do this Faith! Thank you! Your bible bootcampl, reading plan, questions and Cliff notes are so worth buying and have given me direction I needed!! Love this video!
I have never learned how to study, because School was always extremely easy for me, and even college was very easy for me. I basically only opened my math textbook and simply listened to lectures for all other classes, and it did very well. Learning how to study, the Bible has been a challenge, because it actually does require us to study it and dig into the deeper meanings in order to truly understand not only what is being said but in the context of the culture of the time. I have enjoyed your videos because it’s like going to Bible college, but doesn’t cost me anything :-)
I love Bible commentaries! My father is a retired minister . He was in the ministry for like 43 years. Love, love reading and studying from his library. ❤
I am so inspired by this. I've been wanting to take my bible apart and section it off so I don't have to carry the entire book with me. I took the plunge last night. It's certainly a work in progress. Most importantly I've already found more joy in reading because of less arthritis pain. Thank you for the encouragement.
Don’t worry about stumbling in words. Ask & let the Holy Spirit give you grace and strength to read Gods Word to any willing to listen. I’m hearing by you washing dishes wishing I could of had Gods word echo in my heart in a time I can’t stop and read on my own. My kids are waiting for me and I only have these 5-10 minutes to soak anything in to hoped have it overflow on to them when I put them to bed ❤ love what you are doing. Thank you for making these videos. Busy momma life needs more of God
I like the expositors bible commentary. One of the volumes was required for one of my college courses, and I liked it. I've slowly been building up the rest of the volumes by finding them for cheap on ebay, less than $10 per volume so far. 👍
I am addicted to words! I love them, in different languages, what they mean, everything! Also the spelling! I get you!!! Nodding! I read 1-3 Bibles when trying to understand what the particular verse means & it is dependent upon the times! Thank you for this video! It really is excellent! ✌🏻🧡
"I love you, Faith"... LOL.. Those are the words that always come out when I watch your videos 😅 I'm just sooooo very grateful for you and your ministry.. Thank you for helping me get into God's Word.. 🥰
Oh, Girrrrl, all that scrapbook paper, you are talking my language! I love using scrapbook papers in my Bible and all of my journals. I use the linen tape when I make books/journals and scrapbooks. It's worth the money to keep your things together. I love how you take notes in your Bible. I used to have all these notebooks that I kept my notes in, but it got very hard to store them after a while. So, thanks to you, I started adding papers and things in my Bible. It is SO much easier! Thank you! ❤😊
I am so in love with your channel and how you present EVERYTHING and most importantly how you are a great example of what life with God is supposed to look like! I’m so striving to get to that great place! Keep it up and keep it coming!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Your videos have made my Bible studying so much more meaningful. I am so grateful for all you’re teaching this old preacher’s kid - I only thought I knew a lot. Well surprise surprise! And of course I absolutely had to have the interleaved Bible. Totally changed everything. And I only know this because I’m a crafter - the dies you used are by Tim Holtz…T as in Tom. He’s got some funky writing! 😂 Thanks for changing my studying…I’m working on Bible Boot Camp right now. 😊
Hello my name is Toni. I feel like I've missed out on so much in my first 53yrs of life. My parents weren't religious, so I didn't grow up with religion or go to church regularly at any time in my life. Last year I was 53, homeless and back in drugs. I had pretty much lost relationships with my 3 kids and I came to the point of not caring anymore and I was tired of fighting to survive. Not to mention I'm disabled and can't walk far. There were many nights I went without food because i did have money or food stamps to have something delivered to where I was staying, which was my son's broke down car that was parked at the shop he used to work. There wasn't really anything close enough for me to walk to so I could buy day food. The closest little store was about 3 blocks away, I know that doesn't sound far, but like I said I'm disabled and can't wait that far. This was last summer and my son's car I lived in has electric windows the problem was that there wasn't a battery in the car to be able to roll the windows up or down. Also the car was in the sun 75% of the time the sun out. I've already taken so much of your time, let me get to what I'm trying to get to. After my 2nd attempt of suicide I was placed in a mental hospital in Sacramento CA, about 60 miles north of where I live. After being there almost 2 weeks when I was rushed to ER and admitted into the hospital with kidney stones, air in my bladder and a severe UTI doctor thought it was septic. When I was discharged from there they found me a place to go so I wasn't back on the streets. The place they found for me to go was Modesto Gospel Mission about 100 south of Sacramento so they drove me there. The mission has devotionals 7 nights a week from 7-8pm so when I got there it was during that time and I'm thinking this is not the place for me. Not having religion in my life if someone asked me if I believe in God my response was always "yes, I have my own beliefs I don't need anyone else preaching my theirs". After being there a little over a week I started to open my mind to God and accepted Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior that was about this time last year. Things started happening, I felt an inner peace I had never felt before and I loved it. I was baptized October 16th, last year. But like I said I feel I lost out on so much my first 53yrs of life not knowing His greatness and what Jesus went through so we would be forgiven. Honestly I haven't been in my Bible much lately, I don't like reading and never have, because I can read something over and over and not understand but show me how it's done once and I got it. I've lost that inner peace I felt and want to get back in my Bible. Right now I am staying at a nursing facility for wound care and I've been here since Feb. I was receiving $1133 a month from SSI but since I'm here and don't have bills I'm only getting $59 a month could you please suggest ways a person like me can learn HOW to study the Bible and some extremely inexpensive tools I need for Bible study? I don't want to lose faith, which I feel is already happening. PLEASE HELP ME HOWEVER YOU CAN!!! I've taken up enough of your time. Thank you for reading this really long message and I hope I didn't bore you. I had a large print Bible that was given to me at the mission but it wasn't in my belongings when I left. I have glasses so I can see the small print most of the time. But any advice and/or tools you can tell me about, I will gratefully appreciate and accept. Thank you, God bless
Best thing to do is pray for God to give youna desire daily to seek Him and read His Word. That's what I did/do and it's one of the only things that worked for me! Part of it is discipline, part of it is devotion. Sometimes that line is blurred. I'll pray for you friend❤
This is like bible scrapbooking . Thanks for the information. I just started reading the bible, and this morning, the first video i saw was your video talking about a study bible, which i did not know about. So i ordered one, and i will have it today. I can't wait. Thank you so much.
I have done Bible studies in the past,but you're the only one that l ordered a commentary,a Bible dictionary and now l waiting from Amazon a Bible Atlas.These books were open my eyes more having these extra books. I know l be buying more books on the Bible,thank you so much.
Girl you are so amazing and so inspiring and the way God has touched your life it's so fascinating to me you don't even know what door you have just opened up for me thank you thank you
Thank you for all your enthusiastic wisdom. I love all of your ideas. I recently discovered you at a time where my love for the Bible was re ignited and I really love your videos. I recently purchased those beautiful cliff notes too. Thank you for sharing your flame with us!
Wish I could post pictures, but my notes for the 1st chapter of John took up so much space as well. Love how you create the room you need for your noted ❤
Tim holtz could be like book binding tape. I don’t own any, but would love to get some. I also add tip ins to my Bible. I bought a note takers because I have so many notes for my Bible and I can’t tip on every single sheet interleaved 😊I use 1/8” double side sticky tape and also cut transparent paper like tracing and also tomoe River paper to keep it from getting too thick. That gets added to the inside binding just like an interleaved page. Sometimes I write chapters on 1 verse because we are linking the old with the new and word for word in proper context and like a tree with roots that branch out in different directions you can get so many different things from 1 verse.
I love word study’s, and love tip in’s in my bible.. I may have to look at page Add-on pages and add on to add on…. Literary tap. Good answer Thank you ever so much! I appreciate all the work you do for us. GLORY!!
Loved this video! The length and depth you took the information was awesome. I've learned a lot from you and it's really deepened my studies and led me to teaching my 12&8 year olds! 🙌🏻🖤 I praise God for your obedience to our Father. The light shines so bright in you, it's just contagious!! -fellow bible nerd 🥰
I recommend that if you are going to use a regular dictionary (as opposed to a Bible Dictionary, which I love the Unger's), use the Webster's 1828 Dictionary. It generally has Christian based definitions and is available on line for a quick look up of words.
I'd highly recommend, for your New Testament studies, throwing this translation into the mix and reading about how it was developed: NTE (New Testament for Everyone)! It's different from many others in that N. T. Wright exegeted the Greek *before* translating it into English. (Most translators translate, then exegete the English text and check back at the Greek as they see the need.)
Thank you so much for what you do. Sometimes I feel exactly what you’re saying. And it leads to overwhelming. I truly appreciate you taking the tome to make your videos. ❤
I have a Bible like yours,almost have it read thru,want to start a new ESV,but really like to finish this Bible,first,I might give my other as a gift,because don't want to give it up, love my Bible,thank you so so loving your inthuisiam
i love watching sermons and taking notes, I have so many notes....I need to organize them so badly...but i am thinking my Bible would be three times the size of yours at this point in my life...I love your Bible though! Very inspiring!
I picked up that Bible dictionary after your recommendation and it's so helpful! I ended up buying a second one to gift to a friend but they have been on backorder for almost 2 months now! Impossible to find. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.
The arrows drive me crazy as well. So instead I just write down the number of the verse that I'm talking about in my notes. For instance, in Genesis chapter 6:4 I noted the descendants of Anak were known to be very tall. To remind myself where the verse is found in the Bible I write 6:4 either before or after the notation.
Faith, I love your videos and am so glad to see other women who love the word of God. I'm actually really excited to do your bootcamps as going to seminary is just not a realistic option for me in this phase of life. But in my head we would definitely be friends if we lived closer though still in Texas!!!
I like your energy, you put in to explain all your resources you use to stodgy and make this videos, your comments resounds with me since lots of your knowledge in the theology for Catholics is not very far from understanding it, because is the same. Although we do study book by book of the Bible we rather study the teachings of Jesus for His doctrine/ministry to pass it on. But we can all learn from every body.
I started Bible journaling this week, plus I just got a new Bible and Niv journaling Bible I do like ESV more than NIV but the translation is easier as a girlie who love Jesus and loves the Bible, although I like the ESV more because it challenges me more, and I want or maybe need a Interleaved Bible because it'll give me more room but the plan is to make this Bible a Study Bible so my family and I can look back into it, and Bible journaling helps me get into the word and I honestly don't love using notebooks anymore. tip: write out a summary the day after you read the Chapter, it helps me to remember what I studied and learn, like writing it in your own word on a lined piece of paper and paper clipping it in.
Faith, I am so glad I found your channel. I'm a paper crafter and I have A LOT of Stamps and dies to work with. Quite a few Christian ones too. I look forward to using them in my Bible.
I do on my iPad. I have all versions (Spanish), Bibles, commentaries, dictionary, etc. in my iPad, laptop. But I like craft, all the things. I made stickers, tags, for my friends that like the Bible paper.
I love your videos! Your zeal and love of God's Word is so contagious. God has used your videos to spark in me a new love for His precious Word. I love being a Bible NERD!!! Do you sell the Bible NERD shirts, too? I would love to get one.
I wish I was / want to be a Bible Nerd... My time seems to forever be stolen/coopted/volunteered before I even make a plan to get going. 🤦🏻♂️😓 Someone please pray for me
Enjoying your videos! A few thoughts…..It is amazing that you are able to put linen washi tape, on a page, while holding it mid air, and have it come out straight. That’s a little bit like walking a plank blindfolded. In your videos, you will sometimes point to a previous note and mention how helpful it was. I’d enjoy seeing a video about how you approach old notes, overall, when starting a new chapter. Do you skim them beforehand, read the passage first and then look over the notes, or look at the notes verse by verse.
Im really enjoying the Enduring Word bible commentary app if you're looking for a basic online commentary. He pulls in comments from other theologians like Spurgeon. But i do hope to build a few in my library someday. Great video with excellent detail thank you
Find a used older edition websters dictionary if you opt to use a dictionary . Words are being incorrectly redefined in newer editions to fit narritives
I love seeing the notes that you add to your Bible, I love to do this too although much less proficiently! I do have a theological question about this verse though. You said that John was written expecting that readers would have read the other Gospels already. Back in the days that these books of the Bible were written, no one expect the authors and higher ups were able to read the writings. Do you mean that those early Christians would have been exposed to these writings prior to John’s? I’ve always been interested in the idea/reality that no one during OT or early NT times was carrying around a Bible. How blessed we are to have access to so many translations and resources.
I am so tickled I came across your content! Loving it and your sense of humor! As well, can I buy that awesome pink Bible Nerd shirt your wearing? thank you so much for what you do
Super best video ever lol, “just gonna do one of these numbers.” Also yesss on the washi tape, lived in Japan for 3 years and they are the washi tape kings
Love your videos. I’d love to know the song and singer that you played during part of the video. Thanks! Edit: oops! I sent this comment before listening to the entire video and the song I’m talking about is the first one I think. Thank you so much!!
We are going through John at Redeemer in McKinney (PCA church in your Presbytary. Jordan Stone is actually a professor at RTS). Anywho, you should check his sermons out if you haven't already.
Great video! I'm getting an ESV, on your recommendation - already have the NLT and NKJV! As a junk journaler I'm familiar with the wonderful Tim Holtz and his products - it DOES look like Jim though, no shame there! :-)
I think my comment got deleted for accidently including an external link. Woops! Fabric tape is awesome for covering book covers (ie. linen ones) to cover up spills on them! It comes in 4inch wide versions too. I ordered some librarian tape...I LOVE that it is see through! Thank you!!! I SO APPRECIATE your pile upon pile of books. My desk looks like this, 2-3 layers, then my lap,... then the floor. I know Logos software could do the same thing on one screen but I agree with you Faith! I'm all about the paper books! 😊 thanks for sharing your process. 🤗
Hey Faith! This has been so helpful, thank you for your heart and sharing your "How to Nerd" ways! MY question for you is, can this be done as a group? I was thinking about incorporating this into a youth setting!
ooh I found that linen tape on amazon! think it's higher though- 9 something. I wonder how hard it would be to use double sided tape and use our own fabric.... so cool. I love watching you create - I'm so rushed LOL!
👏👏👏🎯 Loved this video! Packed so full with helpful info! P.S love the new Logo and I’m gonna have to get me a hoodie this year if Texas ever decides to cool it! 😅
Hi Faith! Love this video sooo much!! Since you have tested so many products in your Bible. Do you have any tips on using/testing supplies like pens, colours, glue, paper and tapes for archivability/ longterm preservation? Apart from testing in your Bible itself to find out, are there any ingredients or type of materials we should just avoid? Planning on migrating to a new Bible in 2024 (tips on migrating over are welcome as well!!) and want to make sure I'm well set up for the longterm!
Hi to all I'm a newbie just bought a bible to my surprise it's mostly old testament whare to start new or old I already know some of the stories but it's hard to understand
Thanks Faith! I have the DA Carson book on John and it’s amazing. Do you have a commentary recommendation only on the Book of Mark too? Especially one that speaks about the controversial ending as you’ve mentioned in prior videos. If you could make a video on commentary recommendations just for certain books on the Bible I would love that! Thanks again.
I taught Attic and Koine Greek for 25 years to classics students in Europe. There is no good English translation, and that is why so many people disagree on even the basics of the faith. There is also a poor understanding of what first-century Palestine was like, and even less understanding of the Old Testament and Intertestamental periods. I just recommend learning Attic Greek as a start. If you can master Attic you can master Koine. Greek doesn't use punctuation, but it is built in by the way words are arranged in a sentence. Just an example, "born of water and spirit" is not two things but one (hendiadys). The problem is that it can't be translated to English. It means "born of spiritual water" but spiritual is used in a highly superlative way.
I was close friends with an Israeli who was a whizz at languages and highly qualified in NT Greek and other Biblical languages. He insisted that it (or most of it anyway) was Bastard Greek, mostly written by Hebrew thinkers. The grammar was wrong for proper Greek. He would correct or enlarge poorly translated words for me. What do you think???
My 8 year old daughter watched this with me and now she has an itch to get crafty about Exodus. A little Bible Nerd in the making! 😁❤️
I wish I had done that with my kids when they were younger. 😔
This is awesome! Nurture that seed and build a habit in her. It will be worth it. 💚
Bible journaling is part of our art class for homeschool!
Yes!!!!

You can use a notebook. In there you write the verse, book, and put your thoughts in there.
God guide you in the process.

Reading in Context
Bible notes IN my Bible
DIGGING DEEPER ❤🙏💙☺️
I'm currently enjoying the CSB. It has my love of the ESV with the NIV. Accuracy with readability.
Girl you are so amazing and so inspiring and the way God has touched your life it's so fascinating to me you don't even know what door you have just opened up for me thank you thank you

Sometimes I write chapters on 1 verse because we are linking the old with the new and word for word in proper context and like a tree with roots that branch out in different directions you can get so many different things from 1 verse.
I love word study’s, and love tip in’s in my bible.. I may have to look at page Add-on pages and add on to add on…. Literary tap. Good answer Thank you ever so much! I appreciate all the work you do for us. GLORY!!
Loved this video! The length and depth you took the information was awesome. I've learned a lot from you and it's really deepened my studies and led me to teaching my 12&8 year olds! 🙌🏻🖤 I praise God for your obedience to our Father. The light shines so bright in you, it's just contagious!! -fellow bible nerd 🥰
I totally enjoyed this video. Love the look of your Bible, it looks well used and loved!! Thank you for everything you put on you tube.
Please make more videos like this. Love it
NIV & ESV are the versions I like 2:39
Playlist is spot on!
Shirt and mug combo 🔥 🔥
All I can say is WOW….in a great way!
I recommend that if you are going to use a regular dictionary (as opposed to a Bible Dictionary, which I love the Unger's), use the Webster's 1828 Dictionary. It generally has Christian based definitions and is available on line for a quick look up of words.
I'd highly recommend, for your New Testament studies, throwing this translation into the mix and reading about how it was developed: NTE (New Testament for Everyone)! It's different from many others in that N. T. Wright exegeted the Greek *before* translating it into English. (Most translators translate, then exegete the English text and check back at the Greek as they see the need.)
Great Video! Thanks for keeping us focused on God and HIS Word! ✝️ I liked the addition of background music 🎶
Thank you so much for what you do. Sometimes I feel exactly what you’re saying. And it leads to overwhelming. I truly appreciate you taking the tome to make your videos. ❤
I have a Bible like yours,almost have it read thru,want to start a new ESV,but really like to finish this Bible,first,I might give my other as a gift,because don't want to give it up, love my Bible,thank you so so loving your inthuisiam
i love watching sermons and taking notes, I have so many notes....I need to organize them so badly...but i am thinking my Bible would be three times the size of yours at this point in my life...I love your Bible though! Very inspiring!
Song played is They Sing Hallelujah by Wildflowers in case anyone was wondering. Had a hard time finding it but absolutely loved it!!!!
I picked up that Bible dictionary after your recommendation and it's so helpful! I ended up buying a second one to gift to a friend but they have been on backorder for almost 2 months now! Impossible to find. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.
The arrows drive me crazy as well. So instead I just write down the number of the verse that I'm talking about in my notes. For instance, in Genesis chapter 6:4 I noted the descendants of Anak were known to be very tall. To remind myself where the verse is found in the Bible I write 6:4 either before or after the notation.
Would you share your playlist?
Thank you for sharing your process of studying and adding notes.
Faith, I love your videos and am so glad to see other women who love the word of God. I'm actually really excited to do your bootcamps as going to seminary is just not a realistic option for me in this phase of life. But in my head we would definitely be friends if we lived closer though still in Texas!!!
I like your energy, you put in to explain all your resources you use to stodgy and make this videos, your comments resounds with me since lots of your knowledge in the theology for Catholics is not very far from understanding it, because is the same. Although we do study book by book of the Bible we rather study the teachings of Jesus for His doctrine/ministry to pass it on. But we can all learn from every body.
I started Bible journaling this week, plus I just got a new Bible and Niv journaling Bible I do like ESV more than NIV but the translation is easier as a girlie who love Jesus and loves the Bible, although I like the ESV more because it challenges me more, and I want or maybe need a Interleaved Bible because it'll give me more room but the plan is to make this Bible a Study Bible so my family and I can look back into it, and Bible journaling helps me get into the word and I honestly don't love using notebooks anymore.
tip: write out a summary the day after you read the Chapter, it helps me to remember what I studied and learn, like writing it in your own word on a lined piece of paper and paper clipping it in.
Faith, I am so glad I found your channel. I'm a paper crafter and I have A LOT of Stamps and dies to work with. Quite a few Christian ones too. I look forward to using them in my Bible.
Tim Holtz makes some wonderful products and fabric for paper crafting and mixed media.
Love your videos! Thanks for your willingness to share. God bless you!
Love how you use die cuts and washi to make things pretty. I appreciate your recommendations of commentary…
I do on my iPad. I have all versions (Spanish), Bibles, commentaries, dictionary, etc. in my iPad, laptop.
But I like craft, all the things. I made stickers, tags, for my friends that like the Bible paper.
Love it & that ribbon/fabric tape! 🎀
Thank you so much for sharing how to add the pages and the art . Love it 😀 😍
I love your videos! Your zeal and love of God's Word is so contagious. God has used your videos to spark in me a new love for His precious Word. I love being a Bible NERD!!! Do you sell the Bible NERD shirts, too? I would love to get one.
I wish I was / want to be a Bible Nerd... My time seems to forever be stolen/coopted/volunteered before I even make a plan to get going. 🤦🏻♂️😓
Someone please pray for me
Praying for you right now!
Enjoying your videos! A few thoughts…..It is amazing that you are able to put linen washi tape, on a page, while holding it mid air, and have it come out straight. That’s a little bit like walking a plank blindfolded. In your videos, you will sometimes point to a previous note and mention how helpful it was. I’d enjoy seeing a video about how you approach old notes, overall, when starting a new chapter. Do you skim them beforehand, read the passage first and then look over the notes, or look at the notes verse by verse.
Im really enjoying the Enduring Word bible commentary app if you're looking for a basic online commentary. He pulls in comments from other theologians like Spurgeon. But i do hope to build a few in my library someday. Great video with excellent detail thank you
Thank you for this video! Really motivates me to dive into the Word❤
Find a used older edition websters dictionary if you opt to use a dictionary . Words are being incorrectly redefined in newer editions to fit narritives
Your arrow lines remind me of a family tree connection map! Right on
You are an inspiration…thank you!
I love seeing the notes that you add to your Bible, I love to do this too although much less proficiently! I do have a theological question about this verse though. You said that John was written expecting that readers would have read the other Gospels already. Back in the days that these books of the Bible were written, no one expect the authors and higher ups were able to read the writings. Do you mean that those early Christians would have been exposed to these writings prior to John’s? I’ve always been interested in the idea/reality that no one during OT or early NT times was carrying around a Bible. How blessed we are to have access to so many translations and resources.
Another amazing video🙏🏾🙌🏾 thank you 🙏🏾
I am so tickled I came across your content! Loving it and your sense of humor! As well, can I buy that awesome pink Bible Nerd shirt your wearing? thank you so much for what you do
Really enjoyed today and your music. Who is singing? So beautiful. ♥️
Did you ever find out? I’d love to know too
I am knew to this channel and i love your videos and your energy. Keep on❤
I use lots of Tim Holtz products in my Bible Journaling for years.
Yeah? What are your favorites?
@@HowtoFaithALife
Faith-- did you get your cute Bumble Bee earrings from a particular shop or online from like Etsy? 🐝
I lovvvvve this kind of video!!!! Instructional!
Your videos are SOOO encouraging for me. I'm going through Leviticus and it's sooo overwhelming. Would you ever do a course on the Pentateuch?
Super best video ever lol, “just gonna do one of these numbers.” Also yesss on the washi tape, lived in Japan for 3 years and they are the washi tape kings
Just love your study
Love your videos. I’d love to know the song and singer that you played during part of the video. Thanks! Edit: oops! I sent this comment before listening to the entire video and the song I’m talking about is the first one I think. Thank you so much!!
We are going through John at Redeemer in McKinney (PCA church in your Presbytary. Jordan Stone is actually a professor at RTS). Anywho, you should check his sermons out if you haven't already.
Good ideas thank you.
Great video! I'm getting an ESV, on your recommendation - already have the NLT and NKJV! As a junk journaler I'm familiar with the wonderful Tim Holtz and his products - it DOES look like Jim though, no shame there! :-)
I think my comment got deleted for accidently including an external link. Woops! Fabric tape is awesome for covering book covers (ie. linen ones) to cover up spills on them! It comes in 4inch wide versions too. I ordered some librarian tape...I LOVE that it is see through! Thank you!!! I SO APPRECIATE your pile upon pile of books. My desk looks like this, 2-3 layers, then my lap,... then the floor. I know Logos software could do the same thing on one screen but I agree with you Faith! I'm all about the paper books! 😊 thanks for sharing your process. 🤗
I use Logos software. All days.
Love watching your videos. The Washi tapes you showed were from Tim Holtz. ❤😊
Thank you sister 🙏🏻
Hey Faith! This has been so helpful, thank you for your heart and sharing your "How to Nerd" ways! MY question for you is, can this be done as a group? I was thinking about incorporating this into a youth setting!
I love your videos thank you always
ooh I found that linen tape on amazon! think it's higher though- 9 something. I wonder how hard it would be to use double sided tape and use our own fabric.... so cool. I love watching you create - I'm so rushed LOL!
👏👏👏🎯 Loved this video! Packed so full with helpful info! P.S love the new Logo and I’m gonna have to get me a hoodie this year if Texas ever decides to cool it! 😅
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Faith! Love this video sooo much!! Since you have tested so many products in your Bible. Do you have any tips on using/testing supplies like pens, colours, glue, paper and tapes for archivability/ longterm preservation? Apart from testing in your Bible itself to find out, are there any ingredients or type of materials we should just avoid? Planning on migrating to a new Bible in 2024 (tips on migrating over are welcome as well!!) and want to make sure I'm well set up for the longterm!
I so wish I could sit down and flip through your Bible!!!!
She did videos on flip thru
Hi to all I'm a newbie just bought a bible to my surprise it's mostly old testament whare to start new or old I already know some of the stories but it's hard to understand
Start with Genesis then look at John in the New Testament. John has been recommended as a good place to start.
@@autochick123 I started with John
🥰loved it all…
Love you girl!
Thanks Faith! I have the DA Carson book on John and it’s amazing. Do you have a commentary recommendation only on the Book of Mark too? Especially one that speaks about the controversial ending as you’ve mentioned in prior videos. If you could make a video on commentary recommendations just for certain books on the Bible I would love that! Thanks again.
This has helped me so much. You have no idea. Thank you. By the way the music in the background playing, what is it called? I love it.❤
Try the Parallel Bible (4 translations side by side)
I taught Attic and Koine Greek for 25 years to classics students in Europe. There is no good English translation, and that is why so many people disagree on even the basics of the faith. There is also a poor understanding of what first-century Palestine was like, and even less understanding of the Old Testament and Intertestamental periods. I just recommend learning Attic Greek as a start. If you can master Attic you can master Koine. Greek doesn't use punctuation, but it is built in by the way words are arranged in a sentence. Just an example, "born of water and spirit" is not two things but one (hendiadys). The problem is that it can't be translated to English. It means "born of spiritual water" but spiritual is used in a highly superlative way.
I was close friends with an Israeli who was a whizz at languages and highly qualified in NT Greek and other Biblical languages. He insisted that it (or most of it anyway) was Bastard Greek, mostly written by Hebrew thinkers. The grammar was wrong for proper Greek. He would correct or enlarge poorly translated words for me. What do you think???
It’s Tim Holts. I love his stuff
She calls him Jim for fun.
