When I encourage someone to start reading the Bible, I almost always add one thing: along with reading, listen to Paul. Out of all the people I've come across, he's the one I recommend - and that's no accident. This isn't some strategy. It comes from the heart. More precisely, from my spirit. It's my gift - or, if you prefer, my talent.
In one significant part of the Bible, it says that a time is coming when no one will need to teach others about God, because God's Spirit will guide us into all truth. And yet, elsewhere it clearly says that God gives teachers - people gifted to help others understand what is written.
Some might take just one of those verses and claim the other no longer applies. But as is often the case with Scripture - both are true. It's not a contradiction. It's a deeper balance.
This is just an introduction - I may say more later. But now I want to introduce someone who helped me understand many things. His name is Paul LeBoutillier - and he is a teacher of God's Word.

By the way, there's one more thing worth balancing. Artificial Intelligence - or AI, as everyone calls it now - can be an extraordinary help when reading the Bible. And if you keep returning to this site, you'll probably notice that for yourself.
But no matter how powerful it becomes, AI is no substitute for a human being - because humans are spiritual beings, called to understand with the heart. God has raised up trustworthy people in our generation - teachers, interpreters, witnesses. And there are also those who are no longer among us, but whose words and works are woven into the foundations of knowledge upon which even today's AI is being built.
So: first reading, then listening - and only after that, AI.
Don't forget: every fall begins with a loss of balance.

If English is a challenge for you, try using YouTube on a computer. On mobile devices (Android and iPhone), it's not possible to manually set Croatian subtitles - the auto-translate option simply isn't available. (You can safely skip this instruction — it's simply here to give you full context of what's written in the original Croatian version.)

A complete collection of teachings through the Bible - including all 66 books - can be found at www.lifebibleministry.com, and an online Bible via the YouVersion platform - bible.com.

ItsGabby: God has such a bigger plan than you might think right now, for your life

She is a remarkable young woman - with just the right balance of determination and gentleness, as if embodying God's intention: to twist the arm of generations just at this time, and make us listen.

Let's be clear - God's Word endures forever. But in this moment, before the things that must come to pass, it is crucial that we hear Him.
Reading the comments, I noticed some say she has the gift of encouragement. I'd say this: she and the God who is so clearly proud of her - make a wonderful team.
