Have you ever finished reading your Bible…
closed the page…
and felt like nothing really moved?
If that’s ever been you, I want you to know something right away:
you’re not broken — you’re human.
This week, I released the final teaching in our four-part journey, Eat This Book. And it may be the most important one of the series.
In it, we talk about why Scripture was never meant to be skimmed for information, but eaten for transformation. Why the Bible so often feels flat isn’t because God has stopped speaking — it’s because we’ve been trained to rush.
Drawing from Scripture, the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, and Eugene Peterson’s imagery of “chewing” the Word, this episode invites us to slow down long enough to actually taste what we’re reading.
Not to conquer chapters.
Not to check boxes.
But to sit with a single phrase until it begins to shape us.
📖 “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)
Here’s a simple practice I encourage you to try this week:
Take one short passage — maybe Psalm 23.
Read it slowly. Out loud if you can.
When a word or phrase stands out, stop.
Repeat it. Pray it. Chew on it.
Because the goal isn’t to get through the Bible.
The goal is to let the Bible get through you.
