Many of us get stuck in our Bible study because we feel we need certain resources and tools to study well. While Bible resources are great (and if you have access to them, you might as well use them), but the truth is that you don’t need Bible resources to study the Bible. The last couple days, I’ve been in training for how to use Logos Bible Software – and while I love the program and what it can do, it reminded me that the most important thing for Bible study is not software, tools, or resources … it is the Author Himself. And that’s what I talk about in this Deeper Christian Podcast episode.
