Easy, in-depth Bible Study tips--Verse Mapping (before I knew it was a thing!)

[@greebo9859]

I hope you see this because oh my gosh this has been a game changer for me. I was inspired this week by another channel to read my bible which I've never done enough of and then I found this! Im on my 3rd evening in a row and I'm just loving it. Its so simple but so powerful and if you want to go on more in depth following Jesus down the rabbit hole of concordance you can but you don't have to so I don't think I've not got enough time because if I just start one word its something! Just thank you so so much xxx

[@nickidrake]

I'm SOOOOOO blessed that you are getting into your Bible more! That is exactly what my ministry is for! Helping you get into God's truth, so God's truth can get into you!! Hope you subscribed! Blessings!

The Tecarta Bible app offers the NASB with Strongs & the KJV with Strongs in case anyone is looking for a way to quickly access the original Greek or Hebrew word. I'm sure other apps offer the same or similar options.

Thank you

[@WORTHY333]

Thanks for taking time out to share your inductive bible study. It’s called Exegesis studying of the Bible when we study verses word by word, I love doing that and ensuring we read it in context and just study it for the whole week and allow the Holy Spirit to teach and apply it in our lives. God bless you sis! As you know I love doing simple bible short cuts & studies. ☺️

[@richardhildreth4471]

I love studying my Bible and use an inductive technique as well. I use a Key Word Study Bible to define the key words. It utilizes the Strong's and another source for definitions with Strong's numbers. Thank you so much for a great vid and blessings to you.

[@MLLatUtube]

I do something similar when I study a verse, but I also look up the word the translators used in a Webster's dictionary. That is helpful in seeing why they chose that word. Thank you for sharing!

[@lauriereamy9876]

I highly recommend Strong's Concordance.

Naked in this instance means no prejudice or outside influence. So naked in the games may refer to a political (religious) influence. Just know what God is telling you... not what God is telling you thru someone else’s opinion or thru your open social beliefs. Love your method! Gonna try it today!

Dearest Nicki, I printed out the packet for bible study and it is so beautiful, I love it. You are very blessed. You did a wonderful job with it. I can't draw and I am not artsy. I am very grateful for your style of bible study. I watched and loved it. It's crazy simple and to the point. It all points to Jesus. Knowing God is the goal. God doesn't care about any art work. He cares about what is in our hearts and in our relationship with his Son. I just want to be caught up in Gods' Holy Spirit and living by his Word. I know he doesn't love me less because I can't draw. And he doesn't love me less because I like to keep my bible neat. They are expensive and I do want to get the NIV Quest Study Bible. Thank you for all your hard, loving work in wanting to share with us. Will be praying for you and will continue to watch your videos. :)

[@nickidrake]

Thank you for your kind words!! We all have our own style of Bible study and that's awesome, because what works for one may not work for another. I love art, but love the Word of God more!! So I try to balance fun and cute as a hobby and Bible study as a vital necessity 💙💙 Glad you found my channel, I pray it continues to be a blessing to you!!

[@mercrn1995]

@@nickidrake Nicki, your videos have blessed me and I will continue watching and staying close to Jesus.:) I don't want my studies to be dry, boring, without color. But I do want to have fun with it and learn to use some color. God did create rainbows :) LOL LOL Thank you for making it fun. I love to listen to you. I feel encouraged and uplifted. :)

[@lorijones406]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. The Bible seems so big and confusing and daunting. I read devotionals but I've always wanted to pick the Bible apart and do devotionals on my own lead by the Holy Spirit but I just never knew where to start or what to do. You have made this so easy and I just wanted to thank you!

[@nickidrake]

Awe thank you Lori! I'm so glad I made it easier to understand. Check out my playlists and some of my newer videos too ❤️

[@kimmiemonteabaro873]

Nicki this I great I’ve been looking for a way to study scripture and this will help me a lot I struggle with understanding things.

[@nickidrake]

I have trouble focusing so this helps me out, vs just reading it or just writing it. 💖 So happy it will help you!! Be blessed, Nicki 😇

[@tami8833]

Oh I just found you last night new sub I love your spirit and calmness There are no accidents I have been searching for an easier way to do a deeper study you relieved all anxiety when you said there is no rhyme or reason for the colors ...why that was a source of my anxiety is a mystery

[@nickidrake]

I am so humbled that you found it such a blessing!! God is so good, isn't He?!!!! 💙 That whole highlighting color coded stuff had me so frustrated, so I hear ya. I focused on colors and if that's what I was supposed to color verses the words 😇 Glad you found my channel 🤗 Be blessed, Nicki

[@simplyc1193]

Wow. Good insight and instruction. I learned about your channel from watching “whole heartedly for the Lord”channel. I see why she recommended it. I’m going to try this method and watch more of your ministry videos.

[@nickidrake]

Awesome so glad you're here!!

[@nancy8137]

I hope you make another KZbin video of easy study, and can you please have the camera overhead so I can able to see what you are teaching. Thank you.

[@nickidrake]

There is a whole playlist for newbies!! This is quite an old video so make sure you check out the newest ones!!

[@livingunashamed4869]

Good stuff hope this reaches a lot of people :). I'm currently using a CSB bible, I love it. NIV and NKJV are ones I look at a lot as well.

[@nickidrake]

My new Bible is a HCSB. I will be doing some study videos with it since it's basically a blank slate 😀

[@jamiestendahl5592]

Me and my husband just downloaded the app so cool thanks

[@eatthebook144]

I ❤️ KJV

[@handmadefromlisa]

Your verse mapping is awesome! Please do more videos like this. Love it.

[@nickidrake]

Lisa, someone just mentioned verse mapping in our group so I'm gonna have to do some research!!! It's something I've probably done for years and didn't know it had a name! I have a worksheet on my website that I would prefer to use because it has some extra categories so I could do an even further in-depth study but I don't have a printer right now so I just use paper. 💙💙💙 I suppose this way it makes it easier for beginners since it's not quite as complex as my worksheet 😀👍 Be blessed!

[@handmadefromlisa]

Nicki Drake I just printed off your 11 page prayer and Bible study binder. The florals are beautiful!!! Thank you for taking the time to make these and for making them free to all who need them. I’m posting pictures in our group when I’m done with my binder.

[@nickidrake]

About it being free, I just think, "I couldn't afford to purchase something like that right now, so I am sure there are others that can't either!" Honestly though, it's SUPER FUN to create digital stuff! Thank you for printing it off and for posting pics! I would love to have some actual pictures of the book made up since I haven't made mine yet so I look forward to seeing your posts! I can't wait to put together that floral journal! I want to get a 3" pink binder for mine! 💙

[@handmadefromlisa]

Nicki Drake what is the worksheet called?

[@nickidrake]

www.crazysimpletruth.org/p/crazy-simple-truth-bible-study-method.html?m=1 This should take you right to the page to print. But you've already seen my top notch tech skills today....lol, so who knows where it will take you 🤦‍♀️ It's the Crazy Simple Truth Bible study daily worksheet. Actually, I think there is one in your binder packet you printed. 🤔

[@tinaharrison3502]

I love doing in depth bible study

[@nickidrake]

Me too!!

[@mercrn1995]

Nicki I watched the video again. I guess I will need to watch it a few more times. LOL I am very new to this. I was doing the SOAP method which is not a deep study at all. Can you do more of this type, please. I was a little confused trying to use the strong's concordance on my cell phone. Thank you again. :)

[@nickidrake]

Sometimes my phone doesn't give me alerts to comments so I am just not seeing this. 😢 Yes, I will do more with the concordance ❤️

[@TheMissjujubee24]

I loved this. Thank you so much.

[@dabbler1166]

Is anything wrong with YOUNG's Analytical Concordance? "Everybody-and-their-dog" seems to use Strong's concordance. How did Strong's get to seemingly "dominate the market" so much? You'd think it was "the only thing" to use. I'm skeptical of that and wondering why. People talk about a concordance, but why dont more people talk about a good Bible DICTIONARY? Such as: Easton's ...or Smith's Bible dictionary? Do you have any feelings about Cruden's Concordance? or VINE's Expository Dictionary of New Testament words? Does anyone (Zondervan? Nelson?) publish a NEW Testament in a 10, 12 or 14point font? Thanks! :)

[@ericahoxie269]

How often do you go back to read your notes, and what do you do when you go back to tour old notes?

[@nickidrake]

Hi Erica!! These days I use a scripture journal made by Crossway and I can write my study notes right in my Bible so I go back and read them when I want to refer to something!! I love my scripture journals. You can find them on my website at www.crazysimpletruth.com/nickispicks 🥰

[@mercrn1995]

by the way, I have to learn how to post pictures so you could see my binder. I did it on a good budget. I already had the binder and pens, paper and markers. :)

[@nickidrake]

You can email me or join Sheree's Sisters in Christ Facebook group, the ladies there post pictures of their study time and binders, etc.

Welcome to my ministry!! So glad you're here!! ♥️

Can you please type and write it here in the comments section please. What method do you use??

[@jonifoote3501]

Hi, Love your teaching of this. I am a beginner and looking to start my bible study. I have choosen the book of Proverbs to start with. Can you tell me what app do you pick for concordance that you are using on the cell phone?

[@nickidrake]

This is an old video Joni so I am not sure but it may have been BibleHub, as I use their app a lot!! I teach Bible study classes on my website www crazysimpletruth.com you should check them out!!

[@ThisWomansBrain]

Are the links to the website not working for anybody else or is it just me?

[@rosemaryfilyaw3714]

They don’t work for me either.

[@nickidrake]

I have new website www.crazysimpletruth.com so you may need to go check out the freebies there! The old one should still be active but a lot of people have been having trouble accessing it 😔

[@littlesusiehomemaker1718]

Can you help me with which apps you are using to do this study with?

[@nickidrake]

I haven't watched this video for a long time but I'm guessing one of them was a Strong's Concordance 💜

[@lisac6406]

I'm just trying to starting reading the bible...you lost me..I guess I will watch again..

[@nickidrake]

Lisa definitely check out my newer videos!! This is an older one! There is a playlist for beginner and I keep adding more to it!!

[@tinaharrison3502]

What’s the name of the app you are using in this study?

[@nickidrake]

I have a strong's concordance app. It's free on Android and probably in iOS too 😊

[@tinaharrison3502]

Nicki Drake I hope for iPad also.

[@pammypoo3003]

The 'a' in the word chastening is long. Lol
