If your Instagram feed looks anything like mine, it’s often saturated with this continual theme and phrase: “self love.” It’s the anthem of our generation, and I think it’s something that causes a bit of confusion for young Christians.

Theology is essentially what we believe about God. It’s super, duper important, because what you believe about God affects your entire life.
Do you believe God isn’t real? That changes a lot. Do you believe God is kind? That changes a lot too.
The Bible informs us about who God REALLY is. That’s why I take a lot of effort to study it. Here I have conversations about that.
how to actually read your Bible: from one not-yet Biblically literate Christian to another
I haven’t read the entire Bible. Yikes, I know! I’m a Christian, follower of Jesus Christ. For a long time I knew the Bible was important, but I found it hard to interpret and understand, so I kind of just relied on pastors, sermons, and podcasts to tell me about what it was saying.
Nearly a decade after my conversion, I’m just learning more and more about how majorly important this beautiful, sacred book is to knowing God in the most intimate of ways. I’ve had this insatiable hunger for it lately, and I’m just learning how to truly study it, how to interpret it, and how to apply it. I’ve found that actually understanding Scripture makes reading Scripture so much more enjoyable! So I want to share the eight best resources I’ve come across that have helped me so far, so that we can hopefully grow in Biblical literacy together.
