items In 2022, I made the decision to seek and follow Jesus Christ. Before then, I was an atheist. It's not easy, but this is how I continue to choose Him daily.

Get your hands on a Bible
First things first, you need access to God's word!
This is where it all started! I had a ton of questions, and everything was pointing me to the Bible. I'd never read, or had one, but this app (and website) is absolutely free.
There are several translations that make it easier to read, dissect, and u...
The Bible App | Bible.com
This Bible is my "loaded" Bible. It's the first one that I bought, read all the way through, and started highlighting and taking notes in. I got it in 2021 before I even decided I was going to follow Jesus; I only knew that I wanted to be able to ref...

Making your Bible easier to read/study
None of this is necessary, but it's definitely made things a whole lot easier for me!
Bible tabs are an absolute necessity for me because they make it way easier to flip through my Bible and find where I need to be without rushing through the pages at church, or taking forever in my own studies and reading. Set up is very simple, as t...
DiverseBee Laminated Bible Tabs
We used these in my small group, and they are so convenient! It's perfect for when we're going over a few pages in a book, and use the magnet to section them off. Easy access! And it's not too strong to where you'd worry about tearing the pages to ge...

Studying your Bible
Some items and resources I like to use to study my Bible.
I bought this set of highlighters some months after buying my Bible, and I've yet to use them all up. I use certain colors for certain things. They're some pretty colors that make for a light highlight.
DIVERSEBEE Bible Highlighters
This journal is very special to me because my small group wrote words of encouragement and scripture on cards they'd put in it, put my name on it with cute stickers, and gave it to me for my baptism. I only use it for Bible studies, or note taking fr...
BEECHMORE BOOKS Lined Journal
I bought this pack around the same time that I got the Bible tabs and highlighters, and even after moving, I still have majority of the pack left. I use these in my journal for taking notes during sermons or my Bible studies, and I also use them in m...

When I'm doing my studies and I want a bit more insight, this is one of the sites I've referred to when I need a deeper understanding. Use discernment, of course!
Online Bible Commentary | BibleRef.com
There is some deep dive commentary going down on this site here. It really helps with developing an understanding of God's word. As always, use discernment!
Enduring Word - Free Bible Commentary from Pastor David Guzik
This site is the first one I used when trying to really understand what a lot of the Bible says. I've seen a bit of mixed reviews about it, but that's why I am again saying that you should use your own discernment, and follow your own convictions.

Going to church beyond a Sunday
I love a good 'ole feeling of conviction on a Sunday, but that Tuesday afternoon conviction hits *different*. These are some churches that I am a digital disciple at.
I love my church dearly, but when we can't make it in person, or I'm wanting a little more than what fills me on a Sunday, I tune in to 2819 Church. I personally love Phillip Anthony Mitchell and how direct he is without sugarcoating a thing. The chu...
2819 Church
This church gets down to the nitty gritty and will pull that conviction out of you on a Thursday while you're planning the ratchetry you think you're going to do that Friday night (& still might - we're a work in progress, right?). They preach wi...
Redemption Church
I love this church, but instead of expository preaching, they tend to preach around a theme and gather scripture that goes along with the message. I listen to them in between going to my church, and being a digital disciple at 2819. They do preach a ...
