Christians have more access to Scripture than ever before. At the same time, study after study reveals that our time actually reading the Bible is declining. If we’re honest, most of us have experienced difficulty with getting into the Word and really engaging with the text.

Why is this the case, and how can we overcome our tendency to leave our Bibles unread?

On this episode of the podcast I speak with Alex Goodwin, co-founder of the Institute for Bible Reading and the author of The Bible Reset: Simple Breakthroughs to Make Scripture Come Alive.

In this conversation Alex and I discuss:

○ How some of the modern formatting in our Bibles creates friction that slows down our reading

○ The benefits of reading large sections (or even entire books) of the Bible in one sitting

○ Why we should read Scripture in community with other believers

○ How understanding what he calls the ‘six act drama’ of Scripture can help us connect the Bible’s central themes and get more out of our study.

Listen to our conversation and find some ways that you can reset your Bible reading habits.
