Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!
There’s a trend that I have noticed over the past 3 years with coaching Christian teen girls. About 95% of the girls that I coach, have a challenge with reading their Bibles daily. I know if these girls are struggling, there are probably a lot more of you who are struggling as well. A couple weeks ago, I decided to do some research and this is what I found:
- 60% of American Christians either rarely read their Bibles or never read their Bibles.
- 39% of Christian teens worldwide, not just in America, do not even believe that Jesus was crucified.
- 50% of Christian teens, again worldwide, do not believe that Jesus rose from the dead. You may have heard me say this a couple weeks ago on the podcast, but ladies those two things…Jesus being crucified on a very cruel cross and raising from the dead is at the core of what we believe. You must believe that in order to be a Christian!
- Only 12% of Christians who go to church read the Bible daily. So think about this, only 12 people out of every 100 people you see at church read their Bible daily.
Ladies, if this is you…you struggle with reading your Bible daily…I am not putting you down at all. You are not alone. As I shared 95% of the teen girls that I have coached over the past 3 years struggled with it as well.
But why? Why are most Christians struggling to read the Bible every day. Here are 7 reasons why:
- We don’t have time.
- We don’t understand what it says when we do read it.
- We don’t know where to start with reading it.
- We find it boring.
- We don’t like reading or have trouble with reading.
- We think they know everything already, because we have been going to church our whole lives.
- They don’t think it’s still relevant to them today…that it’s outdated.
