You connect with God best through learning. You place a high value on loving God with your mind. You are not content with trite answers or shallow responses but rather seek the depth of knowledge of God in every situation. You have many questions, and they drive you to learn and ask God for insight until you feel a resolve within yourself. You need to understand what you believe and why you believe it. You know that the truth sets people free, so you value knowing and sharing the truths of God so people can experience that freedom. You feel the closest to Him when He gives you revelation in His word and His nature. Revelation is God giving you access to something you didn’t see before. When you pray, you speak to God, and then you study, God speaks to you. Through learning, you enter God’s presence and feel the closest to Him when He shares His revelation with you. Your prayer is, “God, teach me Your ways so that I may know You!”
Suggested Activities:
- Read the Bible through the lens of gaining understanding and knowledge of who God is and the way He relates to His people. This will help you connect to God's heart and gain knowledge about Him.
- Invest in Biblical study. Use tools to help enhance your study and understanding of scripture, such as commentaries, websites (BlueLetterBible.org or BibleHub.com), Logos software, etc.
- Read books that give a deeper understanding of God’s Word.
- Do a year-long in-depth study of one topic.
- Listen to podcasts and sermons from a wide array of communicators. Be sure to include those that challenge the way you think and believe.
- Invite God into your curiosity!
- Don’t be limited to studying Scripture or history - encounter God by learning from different resources.
Encouragement:
Lean into your daily encounters to know God and not just about Him. When He teaches you and gives understanding, He gives you access to Himself. As you learn, ask God to show you things differently and receive His revelation about who He is and who you are.
When God is teaching you, follow His leading. Don’t limit yourself to the Bible plan you are reading. If God speaks to you, allow yourself to take extra time on a single word, phrase, or portion of Scripture. Part of connecting with God through learning is allowing space to go down rabbit-trails He is leading you into through Scripture—there is revelation waiting for you as you follow His lead. The Holy Spirit is the best teacher, and He wants to reveal new things to you each time you sit down to listen.
