  Speaker 2: Welcome to the ministry coach podcast.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: For every week, we give you actionable and practical tips that you can implement into your youth ministry.

  Speaker 2: My name is Jeff Lascola, and this is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Crystal Las Gola.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Howdy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Howdy their partners?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: What's the topic for today?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So today gonna talk about bible study tips that change my life as a youth pastor, and I have five of them for you today.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So number one, not only read the bible, that's obvious, but read books about the bible.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And that really took my study game threw the roof because reading your bible is great.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Reading books about the bible, I feel like bringing new understanding and new ways of looking at things that you may not be able to achieve on your own just reading the text.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's made my study time better.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's made my sermons better.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And it's given me just this inherent understanding of scripture and how to apply it and how to think about it and not just understanding for a particular Thurman, I think that's where we kinda get into trouble is when we're just studying for the sermon.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I wanna know everything there is to know about Jonah, and then I'm moving on.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But when you read books about the Bible, you start to develop this inherent depth of knowledge.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I think that helps you navigate scripture so much more fluidly -- Mhmm.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: -- to where you just begin to the ideas are more effortless to communicate because you just understand the way Scripture works so much more.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: When you read really impact actual authors.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Right now, my favorite one is the reason for God by Tim Keller.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he just passed away, but his books and his sermons, I think, have been the most impactful of any of anyone that I've ever listened to read or, you know, just the way his style is, the way he just connects dots.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It has changed the way in the lens of through which I've seen scripture, and it's really helping just to get into my DNA so that I can communicate the truth of the gospel is so much clearer and easier and more impactfully.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So don't just read the Bible.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Read books about the Bible by people who have gone before you and just have that knowledge to kinda come, you know, full circle to help you communicate the truth of the gospel really really well.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And so I think like that saying leaders are readers I know you hate reading whatever, but I think That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a phrase that readers made up to make them feel less nerdy.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You're just jealous of us.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They didn't rhyme, they wouldn't say.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I've heard people redo that of leakers are learners.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So whatever your learning style is, but it's just you never stop learning.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Books are a classic way of learning.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So I think that's why people say leaders are readers, but leaders are learners.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Are we continuing to learn all the time.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And if we're gonna teach the bible, we gotta be learning about the bible all the time, not just study for a particular topic, for a particular sermon, but study the bible in its totality over and over and over again.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And there's so many good books out there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's like depending on what aspect of scripture you're really trying to excavate, I would recommend a different book -- Mhmm.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: -- you know, for each particular thing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But right now, the reason for God by Tim Keller is I'm like, constantly on my kind of highlighting highlighting highlighting because the way he communicates the gospel so clearly and kind of the doubts that come against Christians of, oh, why this or why that or the problem of this or the problem of that?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And he just, like, draws on his own experience like being a pastor of, hey, I had a conversation with this person.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They brought up this, but here's the truth.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And it's just feel I feel like it's equip me so much, not only to have these conversations, stations, but to create more depth to my bible study in my sermon.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So read books about the bible.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Number two, When you're studying scripture, one thing for me that has really, really, really helped is to read a particular passage that I'm trying to understand or apply or absorb or whatever it might be.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But to read it, over and over and over and over again.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Like, I do abide Christian meditation every night before I go to bed.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And what they'll do is they'll read a scripture and then they'll say, I'm gonna read it again what stands out to you this time.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: then they'll say, I'm gonna read it again, but I'm gonna read it in a different version this time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And based on the number of times you read it or hear it or study it or the different versions that you read, something might pop out differently to you that you might be able to grasp on to.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But I've just noticed for me when it comes to studying the bible effectively, I can't just read something.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I have to read it and then read it and then read it and then read it because every single time, it's like, you know, when you turn a diamond, you know, you, like, see -- Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: -- a different facet each time or this word or, oh, he said this before that or this was past tense.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And so you just start to become like, you're putting yourself into the text to just sorta like, okay.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Let me look at it from a different way.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Now let me read it this way.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And I like to read it really slowly, really prayerfully, very meditatively, and then write down any thoughts I'm having about it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So just get all the thoughts out of your head and on the paper, whether it's a question, whether it's a thought, whether it's an insight, whether it's a connection with something else, whether it's a real life example that you're now marrying with, like, oh, yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That reminds me of when people do this or this story I heard here, and all of a sudden, all the thoughts and connections just start surfacing and you get them out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And then what I like to do is leave it and then come back to it because sometimes, you know, how your brain is always kinda working in the background.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Like, there could be when you're not just sitting directly in front of it, there could be something that kinda comes up randomly as you meditate on God's script on God's Word.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Some new kind of insight.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So I think, you know, maybe that's one of the reasons why the Bible tells us to meditate on it because it's not just meant to be read and then moved on.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be sort of chewed on and thought about and come back to and thought about some more and red again like just spending almost time building, like, a relationship with this -- Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: -- scripture, not just words on a page, but immersing ourselves.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And it takes time.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It takes time.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So that's number two.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Read it over and over and over and over again.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And then number three, a few years ago, this commentary was brought to my attention by one of our senior pastors, and I used this in my own personal bible study.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And also when I'm Sermon prepping.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And that's the enduring word website, enduring word dot com.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And it's put on by David Guussick, and he has commentary for every single book of the Bible, every verse, whatever.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But the way that he writes the commentary, he pulls in so many different voices that might be splurgeon or whoever, but it's written you get the sense it's written for someone who's going to teach it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Like, it the commentary just, like, he has so many applicable points that are not I've read some commentaries and it's just more of, like, And these are valuable in in context, but like the Greek and Hebrew translations and So it gives more meaning to the words so you kind of understand the idea.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But I feel like then he kinda takes that next level and says, like, here's what this looks like in real life.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So it's a really life application type of study.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So it's a great personal tool, but it's also a great Thurman building tool is David Guzick's enduring word.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And then, mano man.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Number four, if the bible project had existed when I was in junior high or high school, I would have eaten it up because I am such a visual learner that the genius to me of them is how they take these biblical concepts with these incredibly spot on illustrations that bring scripture to life in this story form, that light bulb after light bulb go off when I read it, and they're so informationally dense.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So like a bible project eight minute video, I will have to go back and watch it four or five times because the illustrations with the content and what they're trying to communicate, I am like it's like drinking out of a fire hose, but it finally makes sense.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Because I can see it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And it's an outline form and it's pictures and it's words and it's movement.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And that's when it's sticks for me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So if you're a visual learner like me and you need to see something, man, bible project is where it's at.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So I love how they take Like, you could just look at a book of the bible.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Like, bible project, the gospel of John, and they'd outline the whole book for you and tell you about the different parts who wrote it and why and all this stuff.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But I love when they do biblical concepts too.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So they'll do like the biblical concept of grace, love, mercy, or it will start to talk about like spiritual beings or heaven or the unseen realms, the spiritual realm.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They'll just talk about interesting things within that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: What is prayer.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And I just feel like that is, to me, has become such a great study tool.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Like, sometimes I'm, like, furiously writing notes as I'm watching it on YouTube or listening.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I like to listen to Tim Mackie's podcast too.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like I learned a lot from that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And I write notes, but for some reason seeing it, I'm like, yes.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: This is what I've wanted this whole time.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So lastly, and number five, studying scripture.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And for me, this is a great because I'm an extrovert, and I process everything out loud.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So get out of your head and get it out loud.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So whatever you're learning or studying or thinking or formulating, get it out of your head.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And that's why I said, write those notes down as you're prayerfully and meditatively writing or reading scripture, but then start to talk about it with somebody.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Start to talk about what you're thinking and the dots you're connecting or, hey, you know what?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I read the other day.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And here's what I'm thinking.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What do you think God meant by this?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And sometimes having now a conversation.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what bible study is like life group, growth group, small group, whatever you call them.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It's like now we're interacting with the word in a different way.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It's out of my head and, like, into my mouth, then you're hearing it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And then you're responding.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm responding.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And were, like, dissecting this thing together and taking it apart and trying to figure it out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And I learned so much just by talking about scripture with other people and then hearing what they have to say.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And we've talked about this before, but, you know, when you're preparing a sermon, do it with a group of people, do it with a few others.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And this is this I think the five that we talked about today, that could either be for personal bible study or it could be sermon prep tactics.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But when you start to talk out scripture and your thoughts and what you're you think you're learning with other people.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Man, like, I love to hear as many voices on his scripture as possible.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Like, especially if I'm going to teach it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, I wanna know what every person in the world has said about Deborah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Like, what did they say about her?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: What did they write about her?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: What did you say about her?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: What did you say about Deborah?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Don't talk smack on Deborah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I would like want to know every sermon.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'd go on YouTube.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Like, what did people say?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: What insights did they pull?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like that's sort of my sermon prep.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Like, hearing all the voices and not that you're, like, ever copying, okay, writing down a script -- Just
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: getting a a vibe, a breadth of knowledge about one Bucker's passage
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: -- Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: --
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And hearing it through someone else's perspective and voice and what they've picked up from the story, sometimes it's like, I didn't see that before.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that to my attention or sometimes I kind of fast forward of like, yeah, this, you know, not But it's like, okay.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Like, there's some stuff in here that other people have picked up that I wouldn't never come to the conclusion of my own.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: You could think about it as, like, if you were in a classroom with people and you were all discussing this particular thing, you'd be writing notes.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And so that it's kinda become my my tactics for bible study, and I think really wrapping it all up in prayer.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Like, before I sit down, I always say, like, whenever you want me to see, Lord, let me see it, or speak to me through this, or give me insight that I couldn't otherwise have, or you know, lead and guide my thoughts about this in the right direction so that I can see what you wanna show me.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And I love how the Bible you know, says it, like, that God's word is living and active.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Mhmm.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You know, so when you read and study the bible, it's an interaction.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You know, which is kind of like goosebumps a little bit.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Like, you're having an interaction with the text.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It's not a static stagnant ancient book.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It is living and active and ready to convict and pierce.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And gut punch and reveal and be, like, it's very it's an experience.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: And that's why I think we can't rush through it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That's why we have to prayerfully and meditatively chew on this and explore it and interact with it and be with it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Leave it, come back to it, immerse in it, talk about it, write about it, think about it, pray about it, like it's a very immersive experience.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And I think when we start to look at bible study that way, it becomes so much richer than I'm reading this and I'm going to regurgitate some things.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: And I love Or
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I'm reading this and I don't understand what I'm reading.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's what most of the time I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Well, with that, like, just having a basic study bible too.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Like, sometimes I'll be, like, everyone I had the coolest conversation with the student this weekend.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He's a freshman, Nathan, and he came in and he was talking to me about you know, how he's reading the old testament.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: He's like, leviticus is so boring.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: So I had to, like, skip through that and numbers was boring.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But then it came to this and it was really interesting.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And I said, yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I said, I know what you mean.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Lividocus is hard to get through.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Numbers is hard to get through.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I said, but doesn't it make the gospels so much more impactful to know, like, this was how we used to have to interact with God.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Like, it was complicated, and it wasn't impossible to have a relationship with God, but it was very complex of, you know, there's a particular offering for this and a particular sacrifice for this and the wave offering and the grain offering and this and that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And, you know, like, when Jesus came and he filled the law.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like he got rid of it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, the law doesn't matter.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: He's like, well, you can't do it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I will do it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I will fulfill a lot.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Doesn't make you appreciate Matthew Mark, Luke and John, so much more of that story of how Jesus then fulfilled all that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And I said, you know, you could never appreciate the gospel as much as you could after you read Leviticus and saw, like I mean,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that all points to a need for a savior.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And so having that conversation with him of, like yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Like, scripture can sometimes be, like, I have no idea what I'm reading like you were saying.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It's, like, I don't know what I'm reading, but when you start to talk to people and then, like, reading the footnotes and reading the cross references and all of a sudden, like, things get illuminated, and it's not just words in it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And then sometimes when you go back and reread it, it's like, oh, okay.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Now I now I see.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I'm I love the phrase I can see for miles when I stand on the shoulders of giants.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And I feel like you need to be humble and say, look, there's a lot of people out there smarter than me.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I'm never the smartest person in any room.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Even if I'm the only person in that room, I'm not the smartest person And I feel like always seek out wisdom in people that have gone in, you know, that road before you.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And what do they have to say about it?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Because then you can learn from them and why struggle.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Why, you know, trudge through the the muck and mire when, you know, someone else has has paved the path for you.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: A good study bible good commentary.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially with the Internet now, there's so much to explore.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, I think always having, like, a notebook or your phone or a tablet.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Something as soon as you because, like, God will be speaking while you're reading simultaneously, and so it's like that interactive process of a red, oh, this is a thought.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So don't miss that stuff.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Write it down.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Make a note in your bible, make a note in your tablet, whatever you're using, but write this stuff down until, you know, you feel like you've exhausted it as much as you can.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
