I have to confess: I often don’t understand the bible.
I grew up in a Christian home. We went to church every Sunday. I learned to pray early on and it became a part of my daily life. But reading the bible was another story. I never did it consistently. I would read it and some times I would really connect, other times I would hardly understand what I had just read. It can get very confusing, and often cause more questions than anything.
Fast forward several years and I started attending Westside Family Church in Lenexa. I finally felt like I had a true church home. Joey started going once we started dating, and eventually we became members. One day I got an email from Westside stating that I had access to something called RightNow Media through the church. I signed up because I was curious about what all was included. I began to explore the website and quickly fell in love.
RightNow Media is an online bible study and training resource. A church can sign up for it and then it is free to all of their members. You can stream videos about topics like parenting, leadership, finance, marriage, recovery, and so much more!
I personally prefer the Bible studies that go verse by verse. I love how the pastors not only dive into the stories, but give great context to them. They explain the importance of how things were worded by explaining rituals and beliefs of the Bible times. They basically explain what’s between the lines that I have always been missing. When I hear these stories they give so much more meaning and significance to every book I study. They also clearly outline how everything is pointing to Jesus. It blows my mind. We all need a little help some times.
Also, you can access one of my favorite marriage studies called Love and Respect (The Crazy Cycle)!
I am so thankful to have this tool available to me so that I can make the most of my bible study. The notes that I have taken are overtaking my bible and I love it!
