You've sat down, read the words, but it just didn't click. It felt confusing, disconnected, or like you were missing something. In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we're talking about a simple shift that can completely change how you read the Bible. This isn't about reading more or doing it perfectly. It's about changing what you're looking for when you read. Because the Bible was written for you, but it's not about you. When you stop reading Scripture to find yourself and start reading it to find God, you begin to actually know Him. And that changes everything. You will learn: Why reading the Bible can feel confusing or frustrating The mistake many of us make when we open Scripture Why the Bible is about God, not us How context changes everything when you read Simple, practical ways to read your Bible with clarity and purpose How looking for God in Scripture helps you actually know Him This is not about checking a box or finding the "perfect" quiet time. It is about building a real relationship with God through His Word. When you start seeing His character, His heart, and His plan throughout Scripture, your faith becomes deeper, stronger, and more personal.
