When you consistently spend time in Scripture, you’ll learn to recognize God speaking through the text. But how do you build the habit of reading the Bible? In this episode, Dot and Cara share their best advice for sticking to your Bible reading plan, or even just spending some time with the Word every day. They also explain why they like to focus on reading straight through the Bible in a year and share some of the biggest lessons they’ve learned in the process.
