Overcoming Staleness Through Renewed Bible Reading Habits

  • Consistency helps Christians keep returning to Scripture even when Bible reading feels ordinary, difficult, or less emotionally inspiring.
  • Obedience moves Bible study beyond information gathering so that God’s Word forms humility, repentance, and Christlike transformation.
  • Community protects readers from isolation by helping them interpret Scripture wisely, apply it faithfully, and stay encouraged in God’s Word.

We become disappointed with ourselves when our Bible reading becomes stale, and what was once a solid habit gets eclipsed by distractions. Is there a way to find joy and motivation once again in reading God’s Word? Join Daniel McCoy as he interviews Jon Sherwood, author of A Light to My Path: 10 Commandments and 7 Deadly Sins of Bible Study.
