You Can Binge Trash for Hours. Your Bible Collects Dust. Nobody Told You Why.

Jesus told the most devoted Bible readers alive they were reading it completely wrong. Not beginners. Not casual churchgoers. Men who had memorized the entire Torah. John 5:39 is the most overlooked rebuke in the Gospels — and it changes everything about how to read the Bible.
If the Bible has ever felt like homework, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a posture problem. And the modern church has been making the same mistake as the Pharisees.
In this video: 3 practical shifts you can implement today.
▶ Shift 1: Stop reading for information. Start reading for encounter.
▶ Shift 2: Read it as one continuous story, not disconnected pieces.
▶ Shift 3: Come with a question. Not a reading plan.
The goal was never getting through the Bible.
The goal was letting the Bible get through you.
