There’s a difference between loving the Bible and learning how to read it. For many, study has felt complicated, clinical, or—worst of all—boring. Some of us were discipled by personalities instead of passages; others learned to chase quick application while skipping context. This week on Win Today, Faith Womack, author of No More Boring Bible Study and host of Bible Nerd Ministries, joins me to rediscover a way of reading Scripture that is honest, thoughtful, and engaging. We wrestle with tension instead of flattening it; we name the mistakes that teachers and pastors often make, and we rebuild a faithful hermeneutic that carries you from observation to interpretation to application without distorting the text. If you’ve wanted easy methods, renewed energy for the grand story, and a path to encounter the Lord in the Word—not just opinions about the Word—this conversation is your on-ramp.
You’ll learn:
- Quick, easy study methods you can use today (inductive basics: observation, interpretation, application).
- How to get energized by the story of Scripture—not just favorite verses.
- How to grasp new concepts (genre, context, authorial intent) that make passages come alive.
- How to have fun doing close study (yes, really) without dumbing anything down.
- How to grow closer to the Lord by reading what’s there—not reading ourselves into the text.
