Episode Synopsis

Feel like your Bible study routine is dry or not sticking?
You’re not alone. In this episode of the Courageous Disciples Podcast, we’re tackling one of the biggest frustrations for women who love God but feel disconnected from His Word: how to stay consistent, go deeper, and actually remember what you study so you can apply it.
I’m joined by my guest co-host Luverta Reames of The Author Prayer Series, and we’re giving you practical tools to make the Bible come alive—whether you’re a beginner or just in a rut.
💡 What You’ll Walk Away With:


How journaling helps you slow down and actually hear from God


The difference between journaling and note-taking—and why both matter


How Bible coloring and color-coding can unlock clarity and focus


How to create a Bible study routine that works for YOU


Why the way you study shapes the way you live


If you want to go from spiritually stuck to spiritually sharp—this is your episode.
 Problem This Solves:


Struggling to stay consistent in your Bible study


Feeling like you're reading but not retaining


Wanting more from the Word but unsure how to study effectively


Tired of study methods that feel too academic or boring


 Key Takeaways:


The Word should transform your life—not just inform it


Journaling creates space for the Holy Spirit to speak


You don’t have to study like anyone else—just find what works for you


Engaging your senses (like with coloring or writing) improves retention and focus


Being a disciple starts with how you study the Word
