Finding Time for Bible Study (When Life Is Full)

When life feels packed from sunrise to sunset, how do you make time for God’s Word?

In this episode, Lynette Steyn-Laurens (with co-presenter Malefa) shares insights gathered from seventeen listeners — parents, students, professionals, and pastors — on the creative ways they weave Scripture into their days. From early-morning anchors and lunch-hour chapters to audio Bibles, journaling, and prayer walks, these stories prove that Bible study isn’t about perfection — it’s about priority.

💡 Key Ideas

• ​ You make time for what matters — let Scripture stay at the center.
• ​ Small, steady moments can build a lifelong rhythm of faith.
• ​ Audio Bibles, verse reminders, journaling, and prayer all count as study.
• ​ “Children copy & paste what they see” — model daily time with God.
• ​ Try the 15-minute rhythm: Read (5) • Reflect (5) • Respond (5).
• ​ Bible study isn’t a box to tick — it’s a conversation that continues all day.

🙏 A Prayer

“Lord, help us find sacred minutes in ordinary days.

Turn commutes into communion, chores into worship,

and quiet moments into encounters with You.

Keep Your Word alive in our hearts and homes. Amen.”
