Reading the Bible: A Rhythym That Shapes Your Love, Your Faith, and Your Future

#164 What does reading the Bible have to do with singleness, relationships, and a future marriage?

More than you might think.

In this episode, Kim is joined by co-hosts Jena and Charlotte to talk about one of the most formative rhythms of the Christian life: reading God’s Word. Together, they share their personal experiences with reading through the Bible—what they loved, what felt hard, what kept them coming back—and why this habit has shaped the way they see God, themselves, love, and marriage.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by the Bible, fallen behind on a reading plan, or wondered whether reading the Bible “really makes a difference,” this conversation is for you. We talk honestly about common struggles (hello, Leviticus 😅), give practical tips for building consistency without guilt, and remind you that the goal isn’t perfection—it’s relationship.

We’ll also invite you to read through the Bible with us in 2026 using The Bible Recap, and we’ll show you exactly how to join us so you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you’re single, married, brand new to the Bible, or coming back after a break, this episode will encourage you to open God’s Word with fresh confidence—and maybe even excitement.

Because loving your husband before you even have one starts with knowing the God who designed love in the first place.
