Manage episode 523409115 series 3507344
In this episode, Kevin and Julie talk about the importance of not just reading scriptures, but actually making the effort to understand what they mean for us today. By digging deeper and translating scriptural language into words and ideas that make sense to us, we can strengthen our relationship with Christ and grow spiritually. The hosts share personal stories, tips, and insights on how to get more out of scripture study and help others do the same.
1. Scripture study is about more than just reading—it's about understanding and applying principles to our lives by translating the ancient language into words and ideas that make sense to us.
2. Building a personal connection with Christ matters more than having a perfect scriptural interpretation; effort and sincere searching are what bring us closer to Him.
3. Teaching others, especially youth, requires translating gospel language into phrases and examples they can relate to, so they can feel inspired and engaged in their own spiritual growth.
