Strengthen Your Faith Through Bible Journaling
I’ve got to admit that the initial Bible journaling craze threw me for a loop! I didn’t understand why anyone would want to draw and color in their Bible. Don’t get me wrong—I love a good doodle and I actually used to draw a bit back in the day. It’s just that I grew up in an environment where I was taught the Bible is sacred and highlighting was the most I’d seen anyone do in their Bible.
That’s why I’m so glad my friend, Jen was able to chat with me about some myths and misconceptions regarding Bible journaling.
In this episode, Jen and I chat about:
- What Bible journaling is + how it can help us in our faith walk,
- How to make Bible studying fun,
- What to do if you don’t want to draw or write in your Bible,
- How Bible journaling can help you disciple your kiddos, and more!
