Reading the Bible

Hey friends – thanks for bearing with me over the last couple of weeks. I’ve missed some days of posting but we were getting ready for the new school year at the Horn household and between that and preparing for a busy fall of speaking events for myself, I needed to take some time offline.

Today I’m sharing a video blog with you, answering some questions from the sweet ladies of Fairchild Air Force Base who are studying Tour of Duty right now. Their fearless leader, Amy, emailed me some questions about reading the Bible and making it a priority, wanting to know how I make Bible reading a priority and what that looks like in my life. I’m sharing it here because I have a feeling there are many more ladies out there who might also benefit from some encouragement.

One thing I want to mention that I did not have time to include in the video: the time I spend and the way I read the Bible is the way that works for me. You have to find what works for you. And we all have different seasons where different approaches or different ways work.

Sharing God’s Word through Bible study

It is such a blessing and a fun moment to hear from a group who is using one of my books to study God’s Word and grow closer to Him. It’s also a sobering reminder of the responsibility that comes with it.

Have you participated in many Bible studies? For several years, I convinced myself I was too busy. I didn’t have time. Quiet times were enough for me. The first study I ever sat in, that I can remember, was Beth Moore’s Esther study, led by my good friend Dori Cook. Dori is an incredible Bible study teacher. I could sit and listen to her as long as she’s willing to talk. She knows how to research, knows how to ask questions and most important, has a huge heart for women coming closer to the throne of God. It was because of her that I began to see the enormous value in studying God’s Word with friends.
