## Resource

In this episode of the 119 Bible Bootcamp, we get real about the struggles that show up once you actually open your Bible. From distractions and doubts to lack of time and questions about whether it’s making a difference—these struggles don’t mean you’re failing. They simply mean you’re a learner. And God delights to teach learners. You’ll discover practical, grace-filled ways to keep going, even when Bible study feels hard. 🗝🗝 Key Takeaways 🗝🗝 · Why struggles in Bible study are normal—and what they reveal about your growth. · Practical ideas for finding “even 5 minutes” to spend in Scripture. · What to do when distractions take over or when you don’t feel anything. · How to respond when you don’t understand what you’re reading. · Encouragement for applying Scripture and building consistency over time. 📜📜 Companion Resources📜📜 * Download the Companion Kit & get access to the Resource Hub — Free * Join the Figs Community 📃📃 Transcript 📃📃 🩵🩵If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend or leave a review—it helps more women discover the Bootcamp!
