Pray, Pray, Pray: It’s Not Just a Book — Let the Word of God Shape Your Life

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Adam steps away from the prepared message he had planned and follows a conviction from the Holy Spirit into the woods—with his Bible in hand.What begins as a simple reflection on Scripture becomes a testimony about faith, family, grief, spiritual growth, and the powerful role the Word of God has played throughout Adam’s life.Adam shares how he went from feeling completely inept with the Bible when he returned to church to developing a deep love for Scripture. He opens up about the Bible that has traveled with him through marriage, fatherhood, church, work, hunting, and some of the hardest moments of his life—including the death of his mother.His mother’s Bible became especially meaningful after her passing, as Adam began going through the passages she had highlighted and writing “Mom” beside them. Eventually, his children joined him as they explored Grandma’s Bible together. What Adam discovers is that the Bible isn’t merely a book—it can become a roadmap, a record of faith, and a way for God’s Word to be passed from one generation to the next.Drawing from Daniel 12:1–3, Adam reflects on eternity, righteousness, and the call to become people who shine by leading others toward God. He also encourages anyone who is new to faith not to be intimidated by the Bible. Start reading. Read slowly or quickly. Start with John. Spend time in the Psalms. Read a Proverb each day. Most importantly, get into the Word and allow it to shape your heart.Because just as we care for our physical health, Adam asks an important question:What are we doing for our spiritual health?The episode closes with a prayer asking God to use His Word as nourishment for our souls, a weapon against evil, anxiety, and depression, and a tool for building families and generational faith.If your Bible has become dusty, if you're new to faith, or if you simply need a reminder of why Scripture matters, this episode is an invitation to open it again.Send us Fan Mail
