We tackle the challenge of reading the Bible when life is chaotic and your mind feels scattered. Each of us shares personal techniques for maintaining focus and getting the most from scripture study despite distractions.
• Javi recommends the SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) for intentional reading
• Reading scripture line by line and writing down observations helps maintain focus
• David uses audio Bible at 1.6x speed while reading silently to accommodate his dyslexia
• Using a pointer or finger to track text while reading improves concentration
• Jason alternates between fast reading for narrative comprehension and very slow, detailed study
• Reading in darkness with only a page-illuminating neck lamp eliminates distractions
• Digital Bible apps allow for switching between translations and can help maintain focus
Try different methods to find what works for you—whether it's systematic approaches, environmental modifications, or digital tools.
