Step Into Bold Faith: Grow closer to God & Walk with Jesus
Welcome to Step Into Bold Faith — a podcast for young women who are ready to grow closer to God through building a real relationship with Him, and walk confidently with Jesus!
I'm your host, Whitney Gardner, and I share real-life reflections, practical resources, and answer honest questions that don't require you to be further ahead or advanced in your knowledge of Scripture. You will leave feeling educated, inspired, and motivated on your spiritual journey!
I'm also inviting you to join a community of Christian besties who are ready to grab their Bibles, open their hearts, & live a Christ-centered life inside the Collective linked in the show notes!
Psalm 16:11 – “You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence there is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.”
This show is partnered with Five Thirteen Media, a Kingdom-driven media company built on Matthew 5:13.

11. How to Understand What You Read in the Bible
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I talk about one of the most common struggles — reading the Bible and not fully understanding what it means.
Whether you’re new to Scripture or just want to feel more confident when you read it, this episode will encourage you to slow down, use resources to help, and invite God into the process.
From praying before you read, to finding a physical Bible you connect with, to using simple highlighting and study methods, I walk you through approachable ways to make Scripture feel more understandable.
If you’ve been asking questions like…
- How do I actually understand what I’m reading in the Bible?
- What version of the Bible should I use to make it easier to read?
- How can I stay consistent without feeling confused?
- What tools or resources can help me go deeper?
- What does it look like to invite God into my Bible reading time?
Then this episode is for you!
Here's how you can continue to grow closer to God & walk with Jesus:
1. Join the Step Into Bold Faith Collective: A community membership for women where you’ll get monthly themes, devotional-style videos, challenges, Bible study, & the Christian besties you’ve been praying for! Black Friday sale ends on 12/1/25 - don't miss out!
