Word Soaking has changed the way I approach studying the word of God. I find myself unconsciously preparing my heart and mind when it nears the time I set apart to devote myself to God’s word. The excitement that Pastor James has for the word becomes infectious and it has brought back the excitement I first had when I became a believer. This series has set a fire inside my heart that summoned and brought back a reverence for the word that I didn’t realize had dulled. I now view studying the word as a personal encounter where God is waiting to teach and speak to me, instead of an obligation as a Christian.
