Understand Your Bible | Bible Verses, Inductive Bible Study, Biblical Encouragement, Bible Study Method, Scripture Study Tools
Are you ready to make Bible study a priority? Would you love to be more familiar with the stories and passages in scripture? Do you long to connect with God and strengthen your faith?
Friend, you are in the right place. This podcast will help you understand your Bible, apply verses to your life, and become more confident with the who, where, and why in scripture
Hi, I’m Angie. I’m a pastor and Bible teacher. For years, even though I knew God loved me, I still dealt with defeating doubts about my value and purpose. It wasn’t until I began deeply studying the Bible that I experienced a heart transformation that allowed me to recognize the lies of the enemy that kept me stuck in shame and defeat. Studying scripture allowed me to stand firm on God’s promises that offer peace, joy, hope, and rest. I created a Step By Step Bible study method that teaches you to find life application in one word of scripture, and I will share it with you in these episodes.
If you crave a deep dive into scripture…
Bible study tools you can trust…
And a method designed to equip you to study with confidence…
Then, pull up a seat at our table, open your heart, and prepare to hear God speak directly to you.

337 | When What You Lost Isn’t What You Needed
Have you ever prayed for God to give you something back, only to find He gave you something completely different instead?
In Psalm 23:3a, David writes, “He restores my soul.” That little word “restores” is rich with meaning. In Hebrew, it’s shoob, to turn back, to renew, to repent, to be brought to life again. Restoration doesn’t mean business as usual. It means being welcomed into something greater than before.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:
- How synonyms and translations of “restore” reveal wholeness, renewal, and even catching our breath
- Biblical pictures of restoration: the prodigal son, Peter’s restoration, and Judah’s return from exile
- Insights from commentaries that remind us God restores both when we’ve strayed and when we’re simply spent
- How the enemy twists restoration into striving, and how God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 12:9 frees us with grace
- Angie’s story of recovery from a head-on car crash and how God used it to bring restoration deeper than she ever imagined
