About this episode

In Episode 18 of Bible Study with Mum, we move from feeding on God's Word to learning how to study it intentionally and consistently.Many believers desire to know God's Word but often ask, "Where do I start?" or "How do I hear God through the Bible?" In this practical episode, we explore how developing a regular Quiet Time with God creates space for the Holy Spirit to teach us, reveal God's truth, and help us grow in our relationship with Him.Studying God's Word is not about becoming a Bible scholar overnight. It is about faithfully meeting with God, understanding His Word, and allowing it to transform our lives one day at a time.
