Studying context in Bible study

It helps us understand why something was written, who it was for, what was happening at the time, and what it really means for us today

that’s one of the reasons I’ve been building an app that makes this kind of contextual Bible study more accessible for everyone with commentary, reflection, and space to journal your own thoughts

just launched a small website for early waitlist sign-ups (link in bio)

Would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers as I work on this 🙏 ❤️

How I use ChatGPT for Bible Study
As I've stated everywhere, I wasn't raised in church. I've wasn't raised reading and being taught the Bible. That doesn't mean I wasn't taught to believe in and pray to God. God has been my everything and has been there for me at my lowest points, even when I questioned Him.
