The Bible is unlike any other book in the world, for not only is the Author alive, He lives inside Christians through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. This radically changes our engagement with Scripture! You can now read, study, memorize, and meditate upon God’s Word WITH Him. In this episode, Nathan discusses why you should never engage Scripture unless you do so with the Author, and he also give you two key practicals that you can implement to help you study Scripture with the Author.Discover resources to help you with Bible reading and Bible study-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 256View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/256/

While we are called to read and study God's Word, we are only to have one posture when we approach it.
