Preparing to Read the Bible Well | Week 7 - Responding with Heart

When the Word speaks, how do we answer? Week 7 of the Well Read Bible Project is all about turning Bible reading into a real conversation with God. Not a checklist. Not a performance. A response.

In Scripture, God reveals His heart. Our part is to bring ours back to Him. Responding with Heart is the practice of slowing down long enough to notice what stirred, what convicted, what comforted, and what the Spirit highlighted. It’s where Bible study moves from information to formation.

In this teaching we walk through how to respond honestly and biblically to what you read, how to pray Scripture back to God, and how to attune your nervous system so your heart can stay present instead of shutting down or rushing ahead. This is a gentle, trauma informed, neurodivergent friendly rhythm that helps you meet God where you actually are.

You’ll learn how the Margins Method turns your notes, markings, and prompts into a heartfelt dialogue with the Lord. We anchor everything in the character of Christ and the way He invites real, honest interaction with Him in every passage.

If you long for a Bible routine that feels relational instead of rigid, this week is for you.
