I choose faith over fear! Both of my sons are autistic it’s overwhelming at times because they require so much from me. As a single mother things are difficult. I keep faith in God even as I struggle to support them. I keep faith as I struggle to pay rent, and as I struggle to buy groceries for my sons. Every month is a battle. I want to give up yet God gives me strength. Strength to go on. Strength to share my testimony. No matter our struggles God will never leave our side. Praise God and keep faith no matter what. I have faith God will make a way when there is no way.

I love going to the Bible Project when I need another explanation or dig deeper. It's so fun to watch the videos. I'm a visual learner.

One of my favorite translation examples came from musician John Hartford many years ago. I think he was in Asia and at an interview said, "I am tickled to death to be here playing for you folks." The translator took a while to figure that one out and it ended up translating into, "I am scratching myself to death for your amusement." 😂

Greetings from China! 🇨🇳 THANK YOU! This video was so helpful! Thanks for explaining how to use dictionaries, word studies and multiple translations, and WHEN to use them. I’m going through The Bible Recap and will be reading the Bible all the way through for the first time. I had to switch to NLT to get through Job, and I’m so glad I did. The alternative was to stop reading the Word, which is really not an option. Translations are tools! ⚒️ Amen!

Faith, would you consider doing a few word studies and other ways you use Bible Hub (my favorite too)? At a slower pace so we can actually do one with you. That would also show what you do with your patreons.

Honestly, you make me want to send you ALL versions and Bible commentaries and Bible dictionaries in every tongue and language on the face of this earth because I know you would cherish and delight in your reading! ❤️🤗👍If I had all this, I would give it to you no questions asked. "To whoever has, more will be given", and if we are talking the Word of God, that is a resounding "YES!" from me! 🤗 More Bibles, more commentaries, more dictionaries and more brothers and sisters and mothers! Yay, and above all, more Jesus and God and Holy Spirit presence, comfort...! All that for YOU and YOUR FAMILY!

Great Explanations Faith 🙌🏼 2 additional items I use are a Bible Atlas and a Thompson Chain Reference Bible (as a resource). ✝️💜

Off the subject, your makeup looks great!!

I use ESV, NLT & Message translations. Occasionally I will look at NIV & CSB. I love that Bible apps make it so easy to compare different translations!

Hi Faith, both my Husband and I use Walgreens. I do use a lot of different translations, I do prefer to use the NLT I find it the easiest and I do love to use study bibles and I also have a commentary, it really does help a lot, I really am all over with my studies to make sure I understand what I am reading. I am a physical book person I love to purchase different Bibles in different translations, I do sometimes us the internet.

Thank you! This video was so, so helpful!

Well done! I just finished a short Bible/book study "How to Eat Your Bible" with my congregation. I can see this video helping others to get a basic grasp of Bible study resources.

Thank you! This video is so helpful 😊

You are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you! ❤

Thank you for the guideline on translations. It is super helpfu!

I love the way you explain things, so relatable. I am so tech challenged that I rarely use any online resources BUT I did get the free version of LOGOS and love it.

I absolutely love how you explained translations❤❤❤❤❤ so many people have horrible things to say about the Bible having more than one Bible translation😢

Love the nails!! Super cute colors! And love that you explain what concordance and lexicons are. Also have purchased the daily videos for the Grace Bible reading plan. Love how you are making the connections between OT ane NT!!! Thank you!

Thank you for the excellent explanation of resources. Makes it easier to study. God bless 🙏🏽

Good overview Faith thanks! Walgreens all the way ♥️

Thank you for sharing this! You made this so much simpler than some. Walgreens is my favorite! It was called Happy Harry’s back when I was a kid. We have a CVS here in my town and it is not the best. I love NLT and the Amplified is still my go to for a better understanding. I also use the Blue Letter Bible and The Faith Study Bible online resources.

Also, I Love this video & am going to share it! I have been trying to recap how we Bible study in our Patreon group to others & this is perfect! ❤

In Alaska, Walgreens are the thing (first) and CVS is only in the Target stores! Lol I had never been to a CVS until I traveled “down states” a few times. 😂 btw, thank you for your Bible study excitement and hyperactivity! ❤ you are igniting my interest and excitement for the first time! 🎉

Thanks for this! I’m still struggling to get started on my Bible study for this reason, so this was a big help!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm trying to dig a bit deeper when reading the Bible. I found this very helpful.

Oh my gosh I had no idea this was so great! Better than my 5 different websites haha, thanks! I have found though that my Strong's Concordance from years and years ago is different than the new one.

I go to Walgreens. I wanted to thank you again for helping me with my NEW faith.

Exactly, I had no idea of all the other books and resources out there. Btw, your video is quite helpful.Thanks! Walgreens 😊

Yes!! Our all knowing Lord just used you to answer my question!! He also redirected me with this I was definitely getting on KZfaq to not Bible study because I was feeling a disconnect. Thank you😅

I tend to read the Amplified, but also use the ESV and NIV. I just like how the AMP is helpful because it gives the multiple meanings to some of those words that can be translated in different ways.

Faith, this video was amazing!!!! You're so knowledgeable. Thanks for explaining. I'm gonna try Bible Hub. It's because of you and your channel, I wanna get deeper and stronger in God's Beautiful Word. Thanks for blessing us!✝️💕🤗

I use multiple translations but my main two currently i am using for my reading is the LSB and CSB

Thanks so much for these! Mama on a budget and I have found both Bible Hub and the online commentary apps very useful in my Bible study since you offered us these resources on your channel!!! Without breaking the bank, I was able to spend money on new Bibles and journaling supplies to start me out instead 🙏🏽 thanks for the knowledge Faith ❤ And your explanation of the translations was so enlightening and helpful

Thank you so much, for taking ur time and teach us . I really appreciate it. You always motivate me to digg deeper and spend time with the word. I'm always eager to see ur next video. You truly the best😊😊😊.May u grow more And expand more

This was sooo helpful

Besides the resources you mentioned, I also use Logos. They have a free version which I used for many years but I did end up buying one of their paid versions a few years ago. I have a huge online library with it and I only paid the one time. You also get free books (monthly perhaps but I’m not sure exactly). However, I do love Bible Hub and it’s my go to for quick answers or clarification. And the word studies are super easy as you showed. Thank you Faith for your channel! There are so many people benefiting from your knowledge and I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and time you put into sharing with us. ❤

Plz plz could you do more study along with you vids, your the best on KZfaq and I love filling my bible up.

I use all the resources you mentioned which I learned from you! 😍Since my daughter works at Walgreens I have to say Walgreens!😃

Wow this was such an excellent video!! I really feel like your content just keeps getting better and better 😍 also, I definitely ABSOLUTELY use Walgreens all of the time, no matter what lol 😅

Walgreens! It’s such a southern thing to see a Walgreens across from a CVS. Never fails. I love Blue Letter Bible but I do need to do more Bible Study hub!

Love your channel Faith. I grew up with NASB (1977 and 1995) but recently have been using NIV, CSB and ESV - would love to get a copy of the Legacy Standard Bible, I hear it is very readable. Bible Hub is a great tool I learned from one of your earlier videos. The Thompson Chain Reference Bible and the Hebrew Greek Key Word version have been my go to for a deeper dive. Love learning more tips from you. PS I prefer Walgreens to CVS because CVS has gotten into the Health Insurance industry and since I don't have Aetna insurance I think they overcharge.

I❤ the different translations in the Bible .😮😊

Team Walgreens! And I love Bible Hub too. Such a great resource.

I can vouch for it too we had a Walgreens and then cvs opened across the street. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awesome piles of information as always sweet girl! LOVE Bible Hub!! I enjoy searching for through many different translations as well! I agree with you, I do not use the Message or the Passion Bible as a means of study and word mapping... I am definitely a Walgreens girl! I'll go to CVS, but I'll be honest, I've never had a good experience in their pharmacy and therefore I go to Walgreens as they've always gotten my prescriptions right. Though I am on the opposite side, I totally understand your husband's feelings!! LOL Have a wonderful blessed day little sister!!❤‍🔥🙏❤‍🔥

I like Rite Aid and Walgreens, great information

I go to Walgreens and CVS whatever is cheaper at the time of purchase is what I tend to go to. 😂 What I find helpful is to write down the scripture to help me understand it better. Sometimes writing it out helps you slow down and read each word in your head at a slower pace to better understand its meaning. 😊I also have multiple translations so reading it more than once also helps. Thanks for sharing 😊❤❤❤

I love the Legacy Standard Bible translation! It is very literal while still being very readable ❤

Walgreen’s all day long! I met my husband at walgreen’s . We both worked together!

Great video b/c you explained sll those different things. I was watching and thinking what is Strong's and boom, you explained. 😊

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been looking for a way to understand the bible more since last year and had a hiatus (animator). And my passion for God got stronger this week, and took a chance of researching again. Found out this just came out 3 months ago thats why I didn't sew it last year. Good thing I didn't lose faith within that timeframe. Thank you again. Keep following God, I think you'll disciple lots of people. God bless

I’ve used the resources you mentioned before but your breakdown at the end was very helpful. It will help me use them better in my studying. Now to CVS and Walgreens. I didn’t know what CVS was until a few years ago. They didn’t exist in our area. We had Walgreens and Rite Aid. Now CVS is trying to break into our area. Currently, it’s just the pharmacy at the grocery store, no stand alone store.

The Holman Bible dictionary is great too! I have the Ungers also and the Holman has more information most of the time.

I feel for your muscles lifting your laptop. 🤭🤭🤭 I read all my Bible references AND my Bible on my iPad. At 74, I have joint problems in my hands so a single fairly light-weight iPad replaces a lot of heavy books. Thanks for explaining the dictionary/concordance/lexicon differences.

Thank you so much for another amazing and informative video! I love you Bible bag! Can you share a link where you purchased it from?! 💜

Blessings

Thank you 🎉

On the Bible translation issue, I really enjoy the CSB.

This video was very helpful - thank you for sharing. PS I use a non-chain pharmacy for my prescriptions and love them. But often for over the counter items I will go to CVS

I started out using KJV... until I realized there were more translations. :) Then I went to NKJV, and then ESV (I've been on ESV for years). I'm currently using ESV and CSV interchangably, with MSG sprinkled in every once in a while. I go from TPT from time to time. I also love bible dictionaries! Also I use CVS because it's AMAZING for couponing. :)

Hey Faith, can you talk about the Ten Commandments and how they point to Jesus our need for a Saviour please?

Not sure of the store I’d choose but resources online that I use are the got questions site and enduring word commentary.

I use the Bible app on my phone to help me compare translations. Just another source. I think it’s easy to use. I love using it for ESV, NIV, NLT, KJV, and ERV. I wouldn’t use ERV as a sin translations, but I think it’s useful when you’re feeling stuck. Btw, I use my local grocery store for my pharmacy needs.

I Wait for your weekly videos, thank you for all you teach. Can you offer a free printable of the Bible spectrums. Screenshot is not clear.

I have never read the Bible and made a commitment to myself to read it through this year. I also have a commentary and a concordance. I use Walgreens for my pharmacy...and CVS when they send me coupons for household items

Walgreens 😂 thanks for your videos . Planning to read the Bible for the first time and was all confused on where to start.

I now have a Bible Dictionary on my list to look for at Half Price Books! I have 2 sitting in my Amazon Cart so I can compare prices if I come across those exact copies.

Blue letter Bible has free commentaries that I use often! Love it! Walgreens is my go to, simply because they’re more common where I live 😂

No CVS in my area (mid Michigan). It's Walgreen or Rite Aid. I go to Rite Aid the most.

Great explanation… but if you new the problem of the Bible translations in Spanish 🙄😵‍💫 I think they have the CSV and NLT now but man it’s so difficult to understand I’m so thankful that God guide me to read the Word in English only and that’s what helped me. I like NKJV and Amplified Classic version. About pharmacies in Texas, and because of the enormous amount of problems with cvs and Walgreens, I vote for H‑E‑B pharmacy 😁

Your amazing

My main go to is the NKJV and I also refer to NLT, ESV, and AMP.

Thank you for the info. I'm a CVS girl.

I love Biblehub! ❤️📖❤️ Thank you so much for your comment about the Message. I borrowed it from the library one time because someone in the youth group was asking if it was a good translation. Honestly, after reading it, I don't even like calling it a Bible. I would recommend avoiding it altogether. Also... I don't use pharmacies anymore. THANK You, JESUS, for Your healing blood!!! 🩸❤️🙌❤️

Great encouragement in this one, thank you! I prefer Bible Gateway just because I'm more practiced with it, but Bible Hub is growing on me. PS CVS only for photos, otherwise I don't go to either store. LOL!

Thanks for the info! I’m looking to dig deeper, but not sure if I should just pick a book of the Bible instead of following like a Youversion Bible plan. Makeup & nails look great, you’re so pretty 💕

I Love the Bible Recap podcast, The Bible Project on KZfaq for book summaries, and honestly so many of my daughter's children's Bible do a good job pointing to Christ throughout all the O.T. accounts and such. #Walgreens.

We don't have Walgreens, just a CVS. I have seen what you are talking about in many different places in Texas. I was just today trying to understand all these differences other than the Bible dictionary. I was listening very intently and show things I don't normally catch I did😂😂 I noticed several different nail colors😂😂. You did help me understand, but I'm sure I will watch this video over and over. I do have a physical comprehensive book, and have Bible Hub downloaded on my phone so your information will be a tremendous help.

Interesting. I use BLB alot. Thank you ! Oh and CVS :)

How often do you use your Bible Knowledge Commentary? Thank you for sharing this video!

Amazon does have the tydale bible dictionary in stock again. I ordered mine Jan 31st and received it the next day.

I don't use CVS or Walgreens! But that's because I live in the UK! Lol 😄 This video is so helpful, there were things you've talked about before that I completely forgot!! I also love using the YouVersion Bible app for diff translations too, it's so easy to use as it's on my phone (and it's free too)!! Love Bible Hub too, I have the app on my phone as well and love using it for the Strongs section specifically ( well most of the time anyway, I have used other parts of it too)!

Lol! I was always a CVS goer (cause I grew up with Eckerd's) but here the CVS shut down & now I use Walgreens (that's across the street from the old CVS!). I actually now LOVE Walgreens!

I prefer Walgreens but my insurance had cvs originally for non mail order prescriptions so I had to go there. I use Walgreens more and cvs mainly for prescriptions

I use Lagos free service and Bible Gateway to help with my Bible studies. In New York City all RiteAid stores was brought out by Wlagreens so that is why you see many more popping up. We don't have much CVS here and the ones I go to I'm not too fond of because it's too dark and cluttered. Maybe it's just here😊❤

Found the Tyndale bible dictionary at Christian Books for $27.99 plus shipping and tax total $36.69 so I ordered it. A few dollars cheaper than Amazon.

Haha as a retired couponer I definitely used CVS more because their deals always aligned with the coupons. But aside from that they are essentially the same store.

All my patients hate Walgreens and CVS with their current staffing crisis. 😂 but I love your videos! Thanks for all you do.

I like my NIV Study Bible because it's a balance of the two. I read and study other translations as well. I love deep diving into Bible study. ❤ ✝️ My father is a minister so I'm blessed to have acess to his theology library. Definitely agree there are awesome free sources out there. Also, check out your local county library sales that usually happen twice a year. At least they to in a lot of states. You can get theology books and other Christian resource books for real cheap.

I use Blue Letter Bible and they have commentaries on there. Which is great 😊

I also like Bible hub specifically the message version of it. It breaks it down to where I can understand harder verses for my brain lol My insurance only allows me to use cvs and I’m not okay with them 😅

@HowToFaithALife hi Faith, thank you for shring this video. I would love to know your views, between Thomas and Holman, which Bible Dictionary would you recommend? And secondly, when it comes to Bible commentary for beginners, which one would you recommend? Thanks a million for your advise. Stay blessed ❤

My jaw dropped when I saw all the commentaries on your shelves! I could sit for hours looking through just one of them. Have you read them all cover to cover? Or do you just look up a passage when you want more information? I have four single volume commentaries. I can't imagine how in-depth a single volume per book of the Bible would be!

Using a concordance & lexicon is not the most intuitive thing to figure out, so thank you for explaining them! It takes practice to not get totally confused with all of the abbreviations & cross references etc. Also - I'm in south jersey (near Philadelphia) & the majority of Walgreens are closing down. CVS is king here, for sure.

Yay top 121 and top 578 comments and likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video. I personally don't have a preference between CVS and Walgreens. I do go to Walgreens more because it's near the library where i go to get books or whatever, and because that's where i get my eye drops from. But if we're on a trip to visit family and we need to go to a store that sells medicine, snacks, etc., etc., and CVS is right there, then i would choose that. But when it comes to a photo lab, i would choose Wal-Mart over Walgreens or CVS.

What do you think about the CSB? I was gifted a Tony Evans Study Bible. I really like it, but always want to be sure I have a good translation. Oh, and I'm team Walgreens. But, just because it works best with my insurance. And you're right - they are the same. It's no different than a Burger King building across from a McDonald's or a BP gas station across from a Shell gas station. Thanks for all your helpful tips and tricks. I watch/listen while I work.

We use CVS more merley for the fact my dad gets free items due to his age! My husband I just got our first bible dictionary and I opened it to sneak a peak at where I'm at before I realized it's a summary 😅

Nice Reggaton bumper music. Let's say I don't have any money but I want to teach myself to a phd level. How would I go about doing that since you did it. I am dreading learning Greek and Hebrew.

I use CVS because my company is owned by them 😅. I think I am more comfortable with blue letter Bible but definitely need to start using Bible hub more.

Have you ever read The Portable Seminary by David Horton? I was just wondering if it is like what you learn in seminary.
