In this episode, Marnie and Mariel Davenport continue with part two of their conversation by diving into a four-step method, called TEND, for studying and listening for Jesus through scripture.

After she describes each step, she models what using her TEND method looks like with a verse in real time, so we can see it come to life.

As we wind down our busy spring seasons and transition into a new rhythm for summer, this TEND method is a great way to study the Bible this summer.

Marnie and Mariel chat about:

• How Bible study can be powerful in a slower rhythm – even just a verse a day.
• The four-step TEND method that she developed for studying scripture.
• What it looks like to use the TEND method for one sample verse, in real time.
• How we listen for Him in each of the four steps.
• The importance of not just reading, but also doing what we read.
• How Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will guide and teach us in all things, including scripture.
