Ever picked up the Bible and thought, “Agh, this is so dry”? You try to read, but the words don’t seem to connect, some parts are confusing, and discouragement creeps in. Why (and how) does it come alive for others? You’re not alone. Join this conversation with Gretchen Saffles, founder of Well-Watered Women, as we tackle this lie that “the Bible is dry.” We’ll talk about the claim from unbelievers that Scripture is outdated or dull, and also for believers, who truly long to know God’s Word, Gretchen gives her tangible, practical, go-to tools that can help you stay engaged when the struggle is real. Together, let’s trade the lie for the truth: God’s Word isn’t dull, uninteresting, irrelevant, but alive, active, rich, and full of life. Listen in to discover encouragement, practical wisdom, and renewed hope for opening your Bible with fresh eyes.
