How to Read Your Bible

Emy Moore
About this episode

If you've ever sat down to read your Bible and felt unsure where to begin, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm walking you through a method that's helped me so much in my own quiet time—the POIMA method: Prayer, Observation, Interpretation, Meditation, and Application. It's a simple and intentional way to really understand Scripture and apply it to your life.


Whether you're just starting your Bible journey or looking to go deeper, this episode is for you. Let's grow together in God's Word!
