How many times have you rewatched a YouTube tutorial until it finally clicked? Whether it’s fixing a faucet, cooking a recipe, or learning guitar, we don’t give up until we get it right. But when it comes to Scripture, we often stop too soon.

In this episode, we explore why God’s Word deserves even more patience and dedication than any online “how-to.” Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16, we’re reminded that all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness. Even the challenging verses hold life-changing wisdom—if we’re willing to pause, study, and seek God’s guidance.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged when reading the Bible, this short devotional will encourage you to lean in, ask questions, and trust that every page carries purpose for your walk with Christ.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
