We are nerds in many different ways. One of the big things we do is get into long discussions about anime and movies. We discuss the character arcs and how they develop as people and what they do to show that in the shows. After the movies, we talk through our favorite parts and what made it memorable for us. This makes shows and moves more interesting to us.

The Bible is designed to be something you can dig through your whole life and keep finding amazing things. God gave us the Word so we would dig into it and mine out the truths and wisdom it has for us. When we approach the Bible with the attitude of digging into it, we discover greater truths and develop the way God intended us to.

We should approach the Bible with a sense of wonder, like digging for Gold. Proverbs says to seek wisdom as for silver and gold We are digging for treasure as we dig into the Bible.

Read for the Face Value

• Find the obvious truths and lessons the Bible contains.
• See how all the books of the bible work together.
• The Bible is meant to be read and reread over our entire lives.
• The more knowledge of the Bible, the more we can grow in God.
• We can’t grow in God without knowing His Word.
• Prayer and the Bible go together.

Dig for the Deeper Wisdom

• We must understand that there is more for us in the Bible rather than the surface.
• The Bible isn’t just for professionals, it's for all of us.
• As men who lead, we need wisdom for life and the Bible offers it to us.
• Misinterpretations of the Bible often come from people only reading for face value without digging, praying, and understanding the context.

Challenge:

• Be patient with yourself as you start the process
• Pay attention and look for the deeper truth.
• Get study materials to help you along the way
• Be willing to reflect and take the time to think about it.
• “Knowledge comes quickly, but wisdom grows slowly.”
