Ep.192 - Ways to Consume the Bible in Chunks

We know that we should be in God's Word on a daily basis, but often we let the busyness of life keep us from much more than the verse of the day being sent to our phone. That is not a bad thing, but if that is the only consumption of the word and we will never know God better and grow to be more like him! Join us as we discuss ways to consume the Bible in chunks.
