Ever feel like reading the Bible is something you "should" do rather than something you genuinely want to do? You're not alone! In this engaging episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe welcomes Keith Ferrin—author, speaker, and "Your Bible Coach"—for an inspiring conversation about transforming your Bible reading from duty to delight. Keith shares his powerful personal journey of the exact moment (April 18, 1993!) when everything changed for him, taking him from feeling obligated to read Scripture to becoming passionate about God's Word. Discover the simple mindset shift that positions you to actually ENJOY the Bible, practical tools to understand and remember what you read, and the biggest mistake people make when approaching Scripture. Whether you're a longtime Bible student who's lost your spark or someone just starting to explore God's Word, this conversation is packed with wisdom, humor, and actionable insights. Keith breaks down why reading the Bible relationally—not just informationally—changes everything, and shares his "simplest way to study any Bible passage" (it fits on one page!). Get ready to laugh, learn, and rediscover that the Bible isn't just true and relevant—it's awesome! No matter your age or stage of life, this episode will inspire you to open your Bible with fresh eyes and a hungry heart.
