Blocks That Keep You From Reading the Bible

When the desire to spend time in God’s Word feels more like a heavy obligation than a joyful habit, how do you get back on track—and why do we carry so much guilt when we fall behind? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime and Alana reunite to tackle a struggle that impacts almost every believer: making daily Bible reading a consistent reality.
What starts as a simple lack of interest or the temptation to "coast" on past spiritual knowledge can quickly form towering "Bible blocks." Through honest and candid conversation, Jaime and Alana unpack the hidden obstacles keeping us from Scripture. We explore how decision fatigue, physical limitations, and the pressure to study the "right way" can paralyze our quiet times, and why envying someone else’s 5 a.m. discipline might be missing the point entirely.
Along the way, they share personal stories—from memorable first Bibles to the sometimes unpredictable results of playing "Bible roulette."
Whether you are overwhelmed by where to start or simply need a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quiet time, we hope you’ll join us as we learn to strip away the expectations of others and discover a genuine, grace-filled way to connect with God through His Word.
