Two-Year Bible Turning Point
- Zach fell away from faith in college and then committed two years to studying the Bible intensely at age 27.
- That season produced the notes and format that became The Bible Study product.
From Notes To National Bestseller
- Zach built The Bible Study after people asked for his notes and he launched it independently when publishers ignored him.
- The product became one of the fastest-growing consumer products in America for a time.
Guard Your Quiet Time
- Separate your personal quiet time from your work time and treat it as relational, not vocational.
- Protect that time so Scripture becomes intimacy with God, not content to repurpose.
