Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we are going to talk about Bible reading.
Maybe you're discouraged about reading your Bible.
Maybe you feel like you don't understand it, or maybe you feel like when you do read it, you get nothing from it.
We are going to talk today about how not to approach reading scripture.
And then we're going to consider what the Bible says about how to interact with the Word of God.
And then over in the members area, we are going to consider whether or not Bible reading, personal Bible reading, is a litmus test of being a good and faithful Christian.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.
Our hosts today are John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Jimmy Bueller, pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota, and myself, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
Guys, it's good to be recording with you again today, though there is at least a, I don't know, hint of sadness for me that we're not doing it actually physically in the same room.
Got spoiled last week being with you guys to record not just a regular podcast, but also some fun content on covenant theology that may already be available by the time you're listening to this episode.
So, we're having to try to get back into the swing of recording these episodes remotely.
