The RP Podcast | Wonder for the Word: Bible Basics & Beyond | Rod Parsley & Ashton Blaire

About this sermon

Bible sales are at an all-time high, but biblical literacy is at an all-time low. In this episode, Pastor Rod Parsley and Ashton Blaire unpack what it truly means to “study to show yourself approved”. They discuss cultivating a love for the Word in your everyday life, the importance of spiritual hunger - where you’re not only ingesting the Word, but digesting it - and the dangers of scripture study becoming oppressive (and how to combat it). Our hosts also share practical tips and tools for Bible study, simple ways to engage children in Bible reading, and what to do when you don’t know where to begin with your Bible altogether. If you’re ready to ignite or reignite a passion in your heart for God’s Word, this episode is for you.
