What if the only Scripture you truly knew was the part you’ve memorized? In this episode, we dive into why repetition matters, how Scripture on loop shapes your faith, and how the routines we build today carry us into tomorrow.

Join me as we hear wisdom from Kevin, a retired Green Beret and longtime friend, and explore how intentional training in God’s Word helps us reflect, grow, and live faithfully.

Because what you repeat… you become.

What do you do with the bananas stories in Scripture? You know… the ones with deception, family drama, and choices that make you go, “Um, what is happening here?” In Episode 109, we’re moving from just reading the Word… to actually applying it. I’m sharing three simple questions that can change the way you walk away from your Bible time. Because the goal isn’t perfection. It’s reflection. Grab your coffee, Friend. We’re going from bananas to breakthrough.

Not every trail is the same—and not every book of the Bible is either. In this episode, we lace up our boots and hike through the major genres of Scripture—narrative, law, wisdom, poetry, prophecy, the Gospels, epistles, and apocalyptic—to see why knowing the type of text changes how we read it. Because genre doesn’t change God’s truth; it helps us understand how that truth is communicated. Grab your trail map and let’s walk through the Word together—minus the blisters, of course.

Here's a small excerpt:

"We need to know the kind of book, what genre, we’re reading to know how to approach it. Are we supposed to take this verse literally? Wait, does this apply to me? Please tell me Revelation isn’t actually gonna bring horses and a sword comin’ out the Rider's mouth! For real? Yeah, knowing the type of book changes how we read it."

Ever feel like the Word turns into the Wild, Wild West? Me too.

But when it comes to Bible interpretation, it’s not “anything goes.” In this episode, we talk about why Scripture can’t mean whatever we want it to mean.

Join me as we unpack hermeneutics in plain language and avoid common interpretation pitfalls. Grab a coffee, saddle up, and let’s tame the chaos.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Because the goal of quality hermeneutics is to get down to the plain meaning. Quality interpretation isn’t meant to be one-of-a-kind. There are no points here for creativity and uniqueness. Usually if someone’s touting a “hidden gem” or “secret insight” about the Word, that’s a pretty easy tell that it’s off somewhere...or maybe a snake oil salesman. We’re looking to make good sense of the text, as in common sense."

When it comes to coffee, you've got options. And when it comes to Bible translations, you've got options too, my Friend.

Join me as we talk through some translation tools to enhance the flavor of your daily reading. Episode 105 lays the groundwork as we continue in our series: Gets My Goat: How To Actually Read the Word.

Here's a small excerpt: "But it’s never about trying harder. It’s about training; it’s about curating a life. A life that celebrates His glory and champions the ordinary. Celebrates the ways He’s revealing Himself in the most ordinary places of my life…right on my couch, in my pajamas, with a cup of mostly decaf, black coffee. Because the Word is so much more than just bridging the gap between the original language and my language."

Having the right tools for the job is apparently pretty important. Or, that’s what my husband tells me every time he buys a new tool.

And apparently the right tools for reading the Word are pretty important too. So, join me as we keep the conversation going in our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. Grab yourself somethin’ hot and let’s chat about it. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "It’s been almost 25 years now, but I still remember that every day I need a Q-Tip…a quiet time in His Presence to clean out my ears from the noise of this world, that I can hear what God’s revealing. To get out the gunk, the buildup of culture’s lies that stick all too easily, like a waxy film over my mind. To clean those unseen places hidden deep within…because every day you need a Q-Tip…a quiet time in His presence, to hear what God’s revealing."

Ready for a bonus episode? Me too!

I just couldn't leave you hanging in our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. Yesterday, we talked about exegesis. That's E-X-E-G-E-S-I-S! (Jon said I should've spelled it, and he was right! Boy, did I get the questions. "Stace, what word are you saying?" I hear ya!)

So, let's get after it and start with some sound exegesis on a fan-favorite verse of so many. Come exegete Jeremiah 29:11 with me.

Ever hear something and think, “There’s gotta be more to that story?” Yep, gather round, Friend.

We’ll keep rolling with our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. So, grab that hot cocoa and hunker down for TWO episodes this week. We’ve got a lot to talk about today, starting with some good ol' exegesis. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "So, how do you read the Word? No, I’m asking. How do you actually read the Word? How do I? Because many, if not most, let’s just safely assume basically all of us read Scripture one way. Hermeneutically. What does it mean to me today, right now, on a Wednesday? We read a verse, maybe a chapter, and see what sticks. All the other parts? Meh, they just kinda fall by the wayside that day. Tell me I’m wrong. I’m not wrong on this one."
