    What’s the Point - 3 Things to Watch For | Jun 29-Jul 5 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture w Cindy Young

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered why we have all these stories in the scriptures? This week, Cindy breaks down three essential things to look for every time you read: 1) learning about Jesus Christ, 2) His doctrines (eternal truths), and 3) principles (things we can do). Using the story of Elijah and the widow woman from 1 Kings 17, Cindy walks through how to apply this framework to any scripture story — and shows how even one short passage can teach us about the Savior's care, the role of prophets, and the principles of faith and obedience. 📖 This week's reading: 1 Kings 12–13 and 17–22 In this episode: Why we read the scriptures in the first placeThe 3 things to look for in every storyA deep dive into Elijah and the widow womanA journaling challenge to make your study more meaningfulSupport the show And if you've found this helpful, then please Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share, and leave a review. =o) YouTubeDownload Free WorksheetsSign Up for the NewsletterInstagramFacebookDon't forget the parable of the snowball:  listening to someone else talk about the gospel is like having snowballs thrown at you.

    The Power of the Pencil, pt3 | Jun 22-28 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture w Cindy Young

    Send us Fan Mail After several weeks of a break, Cindy Young is back with the third and final segment of her Power of the Pencil series, where she teaches you ways that writing can elevate your scripture study. In this episode she talks specifically about 2 different approaches to journaling - one that you can do as you study, verse by verse, and the other at the end of your study sessions. She encourages you to listen to the Spirit either way, and to prayerfully ask, "what should I be learning today" as you write your thoughts. Note - the episode number indicates which week of the Come Follow Me curriculum each episode aligns with. Due to planned and unplanned circumstances, episodes of this podcast jump from 15 to 26. This is not a mistake and you are not missing out on the episodes in between - there are none.

    The Power of the Pencil, pt2 | Apr 13-19 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture w Cindy Young

    Send us Fan Mail In part two of “The Power of the Pencil,” Cindy Young teaches how annotating scriptures—writing short notes, single words, tags, or questions in the margins—can turn passive reading into active study. She explains tagging story sections at the top of pages to quickly find and review specific scripture stories, and highlights this week’s reading in Exodus 14–18, including the Red Sea crossing and manna. Cindy shares simple annotation ideas such as writing “WOW,” naming unnamed principles like faith or courage, using digital tags for quick annotating, and writing questions beside underlined phrases, using Exodus 14:13 (“stand still”) as an example. She encourages starting small, suggests sticky notes, bookmarks, and wide-margin editions, and points viewers to a free worksheet on her website.

    The Power of the Pencil, pt1 | Mar 30-Apr 5 2026 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture

    Send us Fan Mail Cindy Young introduces part one of her “Power of the Pencil” series on Primarily Scripture, explaining that while some people choose not to mark their scriptures, marking can help turn reading into studying by increasing interaction, retention, and recall. She shares childhood experiences with a red pencil, then gives beginner-friendly ways to start: use multiple colored pencils (with or without a strict color-coding system), switch colors to track ideas, and mark selectively by underlining or highlighting key words and phrases rather than whole verses. She also suggests using symbols like hearts, stars, and question marks to note love of God, memorization candidates, and questions to ponder over time, emphasizing that marking methods can change and should prioritize spiritual learning over aesthetics.

    Understanding the Scriptures, pt5 | Mar 23-39 2026 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture

    Send us Fan Mail In this final part of her Understanding the Scriptures series, Cindy Young explains three types of scripture passages you’ll encounter—informational, stories, and sermons—how to identify them, and how to approach each. Informational sections (like genealogies, land descriptions, and laws) can be list-heavy and difficult, so she suggests skimming or even skipping long informational chapters if you’re not ready for a deep dive. Stories are easiest to follow, so she recommends retelling the events, looking for messages and character choices, noticing sequence, and applying principles to your life. Sermons focus on doctrine, commandments, warnings, and promises from prophets or the Lord, so she advises looking for truths taught, personal application, and what they teach about Jesus Christ. Come back next month to learn all about how using a pencil can enhance your scripture study.

    Understanding the Scriptures, part 4 | March 16-22 2026 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture with Cindy Young

    Send us Fan Mail In part 4 of her understanding the scriptures series, Cindy Young explains the power of “replacing” words to improve understanding. She teaches three ways to do this: first, identify antecedents by replacing confusing pronouns with the nouns they refer to; second, replace unfamiliar or old-fashioned terms with modern synonyms, noting that “my lord” can mean “you” respectfully and that “lord” can refer to a person while “Lord” refers to Jehovah or God; and third, insert your own name and life experiences into passages, using Joseph’s words in Genesis 45:4–5 to apply lessons about forgiveness, trials, and seeing God’s hand in difficult situations.

    Understanding the Scriptures, part 3 | March 9-15 2026 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture with Cindy Young

    Send us Fan Mail Cindy Young shares part three of her tips for understanding scripture. She explains that the manual skips some chapters and verses, encouraging beginners to focus on more relevant, doctrine-rich passages and return to harder sections later. She teaches viewers to look for lessons in the stories, using Joseph’s refusal of Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39 to identify adultery and the need for sexual purity, then to apply the lesson personally. Her final tip emphasizes inviting the Holy Ghost—through prayer, pondering, worthiness, or music—since “interpretations belong to God,” and the Lord being with Joseph models how spiritual help leads to understanding.

    Understanding the Scriptures, Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail This week Cindy Young from Primarily Scripture shares simple study tips for Genesis 24–33, noting the heavy reading load and encouraging viewers to set or adjust goals to stay current if needed. Building on using modern Bible translations for understanding, she emphasizes returning to the King James Version to become comfortable with scriptural language, comparing it to learning a foreign language. She demonstrates breaking verses into phrases and looking up unfamiliar words like “peradventure,” and suggests paraphrasing passages in your own words. Cindy also highlights how Hebrew name meanings in footnotes (such as Reuben and Simeon) add depth, and applies Jacob’s “wrestle” and the name Israel (“let God prevail”) as encouragement to persist through difficult passages for spiritual understanding, line upon line.
