What comes to mind when you hear the words “Bible study” . . . Boring? Intimidating?Confusing?Studying the Bible doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. In this podcast, Lee and Robbie share a simple, four-step plan for studying the Bible that you can use on your own and with your group to align yourselves with truth and live as fully alive men.

Main Ideas

• Most guys know we should read our Bibles; we just don’t know the best way.
• Spiritual maturity is not directly related to how many times you’ve read the Bible and prayed this week.
• A simple four-step plan for studying the Bible is: PRAY, READ, THINK, APPLY.
• PRAY – “Lord, teach me.”
• READ the passage aloud as a group.
• THINK about what stood out to you in this passage and what the context was.
• APPLY what you read by asking yourself, “What am I going to do about this?”   

Discussion Questions

• What was your favorite bible story growing up? Why do you think that one stands out?Let’s be honest. What are some of the hurdles you have to reading scripture more?

• Have you ever read anything in the Bible that challenged an aspect of your beliefs or actions?

• What is your plan for tackling a book of the bible (or topic) on your own or with your group?
