Podcast Summary

In this inspiring episode, Tracy shares her personal experience of reading through the Bible in a year with the support of The Bible Recap and other resources. Discover how this fresh approach to scripture transformed her perspective on the Bible's full story and helped her overcome past struggles with traditional reading methods. Together we discuss the challenges of committing to daily scripture reading. With accountability and prayer, Tracy was motivated to start this journey on January 1 and now finds herself nearing the completion of this meaningful endeavor.

Listen in as Tori encourages Tracy through her personal experiences of managing life's unexpected challenges while staying committed to daily Bible reading. We discuss tools and methods that enhanced her reading experience, including the YouVersion Bible app, The Bible Recap book and podcast, and resources like the Bible Project's videos on Youtube. By emphasizing flexibility, we highlight how these tools can cater to different preferences, making it easier to integrate a Bible study into daily routines and create a personalized, enriching experience. We also don’t shy away from talking about the struggle of managing screen time and prioritizing spiritual growth.

In our conversation, we discuss the importance of setting daily habits and taking one day at a time. We discuss how breaking down goals into manageable chunks can lead to significant achievements, using examples like gradually giving up alcohol and maintaining spiritual discipline. Strategies for overcoming distractions, such as using 'do not disturb' mode, are shared to help maintain focus. Lastly, we reflect on finding peace through faith and the importance of trusting in God through all things in life!
