Episode 9: Elusive Contentment

S2 Ep01: Should You Do a Bible Reading Plan?

Hello and welcome to 2025! If you have gone to church last Sunday, you probably were encouraged by your pastor or church leader to start reading the Bible regularly this year. This may mean that you will make a resolution to complete reading the Bible for a year, or something similar. However, for many of you, you’ve tried to do this before, yet failed. Make a resolution, then try, then fail, then repeat next year. . And that means for some, you are no longer eager to try to read the Bible regularly this year. Today, Bro. Jaypee Manalo joins me to talk about their Bible reading goal in their church, Fundamental Baptist Church in San Isidro, San Fernando, Pampanga. Jaypee is an avid reader, and also a big believer in Bible reading. Listen to our episode as we discuss why Bible reading is beneficial, what challenges can occur when you step forward in Bible reading, and how to deal with the challenges. Praying God will use this to edify you. This is a public episode.
