While I am definitely a fan of “The Chosen,” which really brings Jesus and the gospels to life, there are three tools that are still instrumental in my walk. The first is “The Apologetics Study Bible” in the Holman CSB version. There are commentaries included on a variety of topics that help put the Word in perspective. The next tool is Andrew Wommack. His daily television show is full of deep and thorough teaching and is how my wife and I start our day. Finally, there is the Christian program “Flashpoint” which approaches the news and cultural topics from a biblical perspective. All three are significant tools for growth. Mike McDermott, Seniors and Probate Specialist, The Keyes Company The greatest thing that enhanced my religious understanding was Bible Study Fellowship (BSF). I started attending in 1990 and did it for several years. I loved the concentrated study of the Word, teaching and gleaned much out of the teaching and application of it. It has inspired me to continue on in some form of Bible study ever since. Grateful to BSF! Oksana Horton, Creative Director, Torch and Trumpet Theatre Company I use Bible Gateway daily as well as many other sources on a regular basis online. I prefer reading and re-reading books by Timothy Keller (also his blogs), Merrill C.Tenney, Duvall & Hays, Bob Goff, Max Lucado, Tom Nelson, Gary G. Cohen just to name a few. As you can probably tell, I favor books, especially a hard copy of the Bible. I always learn new things or see them differently each time I read them. Patricia Colangelo, South Florida Bible College & Theological Seminary Besides my daily Bible reading… I read a Daily Devotional called “Jesus Calling,” which is written in the first person singular, as if Jesus is talking directly to me, which He is…”JESUS CALLING.” Another part of my daily devotion, something I started years ago, I try to write one or two Thank You cards daily. It helps me to remember to be grateful for the amazing people God has placed in my life… family, friends, coworkers, other ministry leaders. Coach Rick Andreassen, Founder and CEO, SAINTS Homeschool P.E. and SAINTS International Sports Ministry In addition to weekly worship, I lean on daily tools: listening to a one-year Bible plan during my commute, using Alexa to read commentaries and spiritual books, and spending extended time in Scripture and two-way journaling with the Lord. Rev. Rick Aspden, CEO, Faith Farm Ministries I read The Pour Over for news from a Christian perspective and listen to Al Mohler’s podcast. Robert Taylor, CEO, Burdette Beckmann Inc. (BBI) and Chairman, Habitat for Humanity My wife Candace and I use “The Bible Recap” for a daily Bible Study and have found it spot on. We both have done Bible Study Fellowship in the past and would encourage anyone to take on that study. Romney C. Rogers, Managing Partner, Rogers, Morris & Ziegler LLP Logos Bible Software is perhaps the greatest digital resource for in-depth study of scripture and theology. I still prefer the occasional paper cut from real books, but the digital capability of Logos is truly impressive, which is why Knox freely offers it to all our matriculating students. Dr. Scott Manor, President; Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary There are two great resources that have impacted or enhanced my understanding of the Word of God in addition to weekly church services. One of them is a site called the Blue Letter Bible, which has a ton of commentaries on the Bible by David Guzik. Excellent verse by verse insight to simplify and explain books of the Bible. Another great resource is The Word For Today app. This app has all of Chuck Smith's, the founder of Calvary Chapel, sermons and Through the Bible Series that walks through each book of the Bible. Any resource that we use should always point us back to the Word of God and help us better understand and more importantly, live out what it is that we learn so the world can know Jesus through the way that we live. Steve Daigle, Campus Pastor, Calvary Chapel Parkland For me, two things I use regularly have really helped me to understand God‘s word and how to apply it. One is daily reading of the Bible, one chapter Old Testament, one chapter New Testament, in the NLT Life Application Bible. It has really helped me understand God‘s word and how to apply it in my daily walk. The second is reading and meditating on Sarah Young’s “Jesus calling” each day. Steve Solomon, Area Director, CBMC South Florida It’s so important to have supplemental resources to deepen one’s understanding of Scripture. I frequently turn to Pastor David Guzik’s commentary, Enduring Word, as well as StudyLight.org, which offers a wealth of Bible tools and resources for just about everything you need to study God's Word. I also enjoy doing Bible study plans on Bible.is, which is completely free.
