Unfiltered and Faithful with Shirene

Do you feel like there’s just not enough time for God?

In this episode of Unfiltered and Faithful with Shirene, we talk about the struggle so many of us face—wanting to grow in our faith, but feeling overwhelmed by life, schedules, and exhaustion.

Here’s the truth: your peace, your rest, your joy—it won’t come from a self-care checklist. It comes from being with God.

And Bible study? It doesn’t have to be complicated. It can happen in the car, at the beach, on your porch, or in between errands.

🎧 In this episode:
• 10 creative ways to study the Bible
• Ideas for making time in your real, busy life
• And one wild typo from Bible history (for real)

📖 Here are the 10 Bible study methods we cover:
1. SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer)
2. Topical Study
3. Character Study
4. Verse-by-Verse / Inductive Study
5. Bible Journaling
6. Soaking + Worship
7. Bible-in-a-Year / Reading Plans
8. Lectio Divina
9. Group Study / Discipleship
10. Study with Tools (Apps, Commentaries, Concordances)

💡 You’ll also get tips on where and how to study the Bible in everyday moments

If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry, disconnected, or just “too busy” to get in the Word—this seed is for you.

🧠 Think About It:
1. What’s been holding me back from spending time in God’s Word?
(Be honest—is it time, tiredness, fear, shame, distraction?)
2. What do I usually turn to for rest and peace—and is it actually working?
3. Have I made Bible study more complicated than it needs to be? Why?
4. Which Bible study method from this episode feels doable or exciting for me right now?
5. Where in my day could I invite God in—even just for 5 minutes?
(In the car, during a walk, while cooking, etc.)
6. What would it look like to choose presence with God over perfection this week?
7. What is God inviting me to lay down in order to draw closer to Him?
