How to Study the Bible - Bible Study Made Simple

192

As Christians, we want to experience God through the Bible… we really do!

But our good intentions fall flat when reading the Bible just doesn’t seem to help us experience God in a real way. What should feel dynamic and important and alive often feels confusing and boring and irrelevant. But it doesn’t have to feel this way.

In this bible study podcast, pastor and Bible teacher Nicole Unice brings life back to reading the Bible by walking listeners through her Alive Method of Bible study, helping us personally encounter God through His Word by giving us a practical, clear road map for understanding, interpreting and applying Scripture to our lives.

Topics covered in this podcast:

💡 Three Common Obstacles to Understanding the Bible
💡The Basics of Bible Study (Observation, Interpretation) and How to Apple the Bible to Your Life
💡Deep Dive into Bible Studies by Books of the Bible (We've covered Ecclesiastes, Romans, Matthew, and more!)
💡 Topical Bible study lessons on Joy, Contentment, Prayer and more
💡 Spiritual Rhythms: Creating New Rhythms in Your Life
💡 4 Principles You Need to Interpret Difficult Scripture

Relational

How to Study the Bible podcasts are the best. They are relational and help me understand the context of the scriptures more deeply. Perfect for morning walks or driving to work with the option to go back into the transcripts to add notes to my Bible. ❤️💜❤️

Little girl

Why do middle-aged white Christian women want to sound like 13-year-old girls? Why is there speech pattern filled with him, like, you know, I think, well, so, it seems, maybe, not sure that and so on. Which came first, little girl sounding like this, or their mothers copying them?

Blessed to have found

Thank you Nicole! I found your podcast when I accepted a position that required a long commute. Looking to use the time wisely, I searched for podcasts on the Bible. I truly believe that the Holy Spirit lead me to yours. From the very first one I heard, I have been inspired, comforted, and given insight to His word, as well as myself. Numbers 6:24-26

You want to dig deeper into Bible this is it!

I love this podcast and how Nichole reads directly from scripture. The best part is she gives examples and viscual illustrations to make the scriptures to come alive. She always challenges me to look at the whole picture of the Gospel and how to apply it. If you want to dig deeper into the Bible this is it!

Life changing Life saving

I was blessed to find Nicole in a dark season of life. My spouse Nancy passed of cancer last year at age 65, and I was diagnosed w cancer two months later. Our 20 year old son became angry and lost. I felt Gos was present but hard to hear. After listening to Nicole’s calming voice and hearing her love and trust of God in every word - I became hooked on her word too and felt saved. She reminds us thru scripture and her awesome relatable storytelling that Jesus infact is always beside us. I look forward to hearing her every week and helping me study and interpret the Bible. She is blessed with this gift and she is sharing herself with all of us. With gratitude- Kim from Cape Cod.

Must listen podcast

The pastoral leadership dynamic duo is back and we are here for it! Thanks so much Nicole and Rev. Rachel for your honest commentary, breaking down scripture in bite-size pieces that help us understand the message and how we can apply it to our daily life, and for answering our questions. You truly are a conduit of God’s love and grace in this world.

Insightful and Impactful

After being raised in a religious home, I had lost my feelings and love of my faith after losing my father to cancer at a young age. Recently starting a family of my own, I’ve found myself becoming more curious to reexamine my relationship with God and how I best exemplify him through me as a father, a husband, and a person. Nicole’s ability to work through significant parts of the Bible and explain them in a way to make you feel the words has been an amazing and welcoming way back into the scripture.

Nicole Unice Bible Study 5 star

This Podcast is very Biblical and she is great at staying on point and not doing too much in one episode. She does a great job not telling her opinion or giving too much personal perspective but does a great balance of staying to scripture and giving some application points

Finding a deeper relationship with the Lord

I can’t tell you how much this has helped my walk through scripture. It’s means so much to hear the words that Nicole shares and how she clearly presents what the scripture is helping us to see. I love love this podcast and hope it continues forever. Nicole is a wonderful teacher, preacher, and scholar of the Word. I’m grateful that this podcast has put me back to a deeper passion for reading and studying the Bible.

Psalm 103

Oh my goodness, I’ve been listening to this podcast daily in the mornings and I had recently asked God how often should I ask for forgiveness for the same thing and it was answered today. I love how this podcast explains the Bible and how the darkness can interfere with our learning and love for God. I’m literally speechless from todays episode and feel like I will move on from my past. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Love this podcast

I asked for and received an NLT study Bible for Christmas and now along with this podcast I am reading and understanding the Bible in ways I’ve never done before. Thanks Nicole. Your thoughtful insight and knowledge has helped me to learn something new every time I listen.

Always Genuine, Faithful and Helpful

I first met Nicole in 2007, I believe, and our paths have crossed a few times since. Throughout that entire time, I’ve known her to be someone with a passion for God’s word and helping others. This podcast is a breath of fresh air, scholarly yet practical and applicable to every day life. Thank you Nicole and team for helping us dive deeper into God’s Word!

Fantastic messaging

I first learned of Nicole this past week at A church here in Denver, NC and I have not been moved like that in a sermon in a very long time. This podcast has taken up all of my free time this week. The messages are short and to the point and completely understandable. Nicole has a gift for expressing the word of God. Highly recommend to anyone

Touching and transforming

I love these new lessons in 2022! I just listened to Stories Jesus told: Two debtors.. The subject of forgiveness is a tough one and it’s difficult to understand the weight and real meaning of it. This show is Chicken soup for my soul!! it dawned on me that part of my journey in following Jesus means that I need to forgive my parents. Wow. I needed to learn that. Thank you for your deep and expansive explanations. You are helping people heal their life!

Romans Chapter 13 Podcast

Nicole’s Romans Chapter 13 podcast is the best commentary I have heard to counter the upheaval we see in this country. It really does just come down to your neighbor: love them and do no harm. The grandest principal in the Bible - love your neighbor. It’s all about love!!!

Tension

I love the idea of living in the tension of what is known and unknown about God!

Great podcast

I have enjoyed working through your book and find the podcast to helpful in my understanding the Bible. Please keep making the podcasts.

Simple but deep

Love this study! It’s simple to follow…only one chapter a week. However, if you want to go deeper, Nicole builds her teaching around four questions you can use as you read the chapter on your own and study it on your own. That’s how I approach it. First, I read it on my own, write down Scriptures that I think are important, and what I receive from my own study. Second, I listen to the podcast and always receive more insight and wisdom. Nicole’s approach is so uplifting too. It feels like I’m sitting with a friend after we both studied the chapter on our own. I recommend it to both new believers and mature believers.

Nicole is the friend I’m talking to at the car lines and spinning sessions.

It’s truly a blessing to have someone we can relate to so much with such wisdom and grace. It’s literally like having an enlightened friend that can both ground you and elevate you through the Word of God. Absolutely Love Nicole!

So relatable and true

I love both of Nicole’s podcasts! I especially enjoyed her recent podcast on Philippians and having the right mindset. The statement of our becoming more Christlike in our faith is an inch by inch process for so many of us really resonated with me. Thank you Nicole for insight and transparency.

Thank you

Thank you so much for your Bible studies. I know that the lord is speaking through you. I am not one that grew up with the lord’s teachings. This is helping me to walk towards heavens gates.

Finding Joy

Thank you for the honest truth. I loved the way you broke it down. Clarity, insight, and knowledge. I was able to understand the more of the scripture given in Nehemiah, “ The joy of the Lord is my strength.”
