Transcripts: What Your Peers Say

Transcript: Bible Reading
[A Bible on a shelf with other books. Do you like to read? Mackenzie]
Mackenzie: Sometimes I get words mixed up and backwards, so it can be kind of challenging. So, do I like reading? Not really.
[Shaina]
Shaina: I don’t know. I find books not interesting and boring.
[James]
James: You know, I just get completely distracted.
[Bo]
Bo: I have to mentally prepare myself to read because there are so many things you could be doing.
[Text: What about Bible reading?]
Shaina: I don’t enjoy reading, but I do like reading the Bible. For me, it’s more than a book.
[Text: What your peers say about Bible reading]
Mackenzie: It’s definitely worth it.
James: Some people may say it’s not relevant for today.
Bo: But when you do look into it, there are things you can learn from all the time.
Shaina: It’s helped me to think before I speak.
James: I find that I’m actually more concerned with other people, their well-being, how they’re doing, and looking out for them.
Bo: I think Bible reading has made me a better person.
Mackenzie: It gives me a little push for the day.
Shaina: My favorite book in the Bible would probably be the Psalms because it’s easy for me to understand and it’s really interesting to me.
James: The young people, they can go through jw.org and get the Bible, several different copies of the Bible, right there.
Shaina: We’ll type in the certain, that certain scripture and there’ll be articles about it.
Bo: Another thing I’m loving is the new videos, an introduction to this book of the Bible. It just takes two or three minutes, and you can understand what you’re about to read, that book, and that makes a huge difference.
Shaina: I go by topics or what interests me.
James: I look for something that’s interesting, that’s very, that touches me directly; it just becomes an enjoyable process.
Mackenzie: It’s very, very relevant, and it’s very important. And you can find happiness. I mean, who doesn’t want that?
[Text: Ponder over these things; be absorbed in them. 1 Timothy 4:15]
