If there’s one thing I’ve learned through every season of life—from heartbreak to healing—it’s that the Bible truly is our lifeline.
Years ago, after walking through divorce and becoming a single mom, I was desperate for hope. I had grown up in church, but I didn’t know the Word for myself. I didn’t know where to turn—until I opened my Bible and started to really seek God. And everything changed.
I didn’t just read the words—I studied them. I asked God to show me who He was, who I was, and what He wanted for my life. Little by little, the pieces of my broken story started to come together. That’s where my purpose was born: helping others discover what I had found in His Word—truth, freedom, identity, and direction.
That’s why I created the Coming to Life Bible Study. Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or you’ve known the Lord for years, this one-year journey will help you understand the Bible in a way that feels personal and life-giving.
If you want to grow deeper in your faith but don’t know where to begin, I also have several simple, practical reading plans on YouVersion. They’re a great way to start building a habit of spending time in Scripture daily.
If you feel like your life is a mess of broken pieces, just know—you’re not alone. I’ve been there. And I promise you, God will meet you in His Word just like He met me. When you open your Bible, you’re opening the door for God to move.
Don’t quit. Don’t give up. He’s not done with you yet.
You are so deeply loved,
Katie
7 Tips to Help You Effectively Study Your Bible
- Pray before you start. The Lord can help you understand the truths of what He’s written when you ask Him to open your eyes & your heart and give you wisdom.
- Understand the context of what you’re reading. Knowing who it was written to, who wrote it, what was going on at that time, etc can help you grasp what the meaning is behind the message.
- Make reading a habit. Set a timer, subscribe to a daily reading plan, set your Bible next to your bed. Whatever you can do to make it easy starts helping you build a habit.
- Memorize verses. Start with short ones if you need to! Knowing God’s Word will help you in every area of your life.
- Use tools. There are tons of great commentaries, concordances, lexicons, and atlases to help you!
- Learn with friends. Having someone to study with or bounce ideas off of is a great way to learn. Plus, you can hold each other accountable.
- Be humble. You don’t know everything about Scripture no matter who you are. Be open to discovering something new that just might be different than what you were taught
