About this episode

What is a good use of your time? There are so many different ways we can spend our time. However, some ways are better than others. Today, Jeff talks about the importance of reading the Bible and how each of us can find the time to do it. We must simply choose it over something else.

Snippet from the Show
We choose how our time is spent, so it is up to us to decide whether our time is better spent watching television or reading God’s Word.
