ADVICE

Always Pray Before You Study

  • Begin Bible study with prayer and invite the Holy Spirit as the true author to bring revelation, not just facts.
  • She quotes John 5:39–40 to warn against loving scripture more than the Savior the scripture testifies about.
ADVICE

Observe Details And Ask Textual Questions

  • Look carefully: read slowly, observe names, phrases, timing and ask questions like who's speaking and why this detail matters.
  • Stephanie shows an example: noting Peter healed the lame man 'at the hour of prayer' prompted deeper questions.
ADVICE

Check Context And Original Language

  • Always check context and original language; never read a verse in isolation because translations and culture affect meaning.
  • She gives the 'made a little lower than Elohim' example to show how translation choice changes understanding.
