Reminds me of diagramming a sentence as a kid. Whatever way you study, the more you actively study the word, the better you retain the info. Keep it up.
Omg it does!!! I know everyone has their own way of studying, but you just gave me an idea which is pretty much hers. Basically diagram the chapter! Through verses though!!!
This is very helpful for me. There are times where reading comprehension eludes me. Now I understand how marking it up first will be beneficial. Thank you, thank you!
I loved this! I am a visual learner too and I love the way you show step by step how to break things apart! It makes absolute sense to me. I too can overwhelm myself with trying to recall everything. I look forward to your tidbits and ideas on how to improve my bible study time. Thank you Nicki & God Bless!💜
I enjoyed the content. I would likely use the tips in a notebook versus my Bible because I want more space so that my notes are legible and I can go back to my Bible and the word is still visible outside of highlights! This study tip was so isghtful and well thought out. Thanks so much for sharing!
I just purchased, and received, the entire KJV Spiral Bible set. They had a great offer on the OT set so I decided to buy the complete Bible. I have been using my own color code system, combined with some symbols that I learned years ago from taking Kay Arthur's Inductive Bible Study series. Over the last two decades I have tweaked and streamlined (somewhat) some of the symbols because it really got too cluttered for me. I continue to pick up tips and tricks from other teachers, like you, and I have found that using your individual Verse Mapping books aide me in my study of God's Word. I am also a study tools addict, so my living room and dining room have a trail of Bibles and various tools. I'm nearing 75 and find that my memory is beginning to fail me, so I often read the same chapters in different versions, discovering new things constantly! Since I just bought the Spiral Bible I won't be getting your Berean series. I will continue to acquire and use your workbooks though. You are such a gifted teacher and I thank you so much for sharing your gift with us all. God bless you and your family. :)
I don’t know if you will see this Nicki but this is the most helpful video I’ve watched so far for my brain to understand how to study the Bible! THANK YOU!
I would love more of this! Im marking up similar to you. I’m using your chapter mapping, but have difficulty deciding which verses to use for translations and cross references. I love your enthusiasm and knowledge!
I'm obsessed with how you explained this. I'm very new to your Channel and to the Bible. I wish I could literally afford your guides/courses. I would have them all.
So thankful I found your video! I just started doing inductive Bible study was using or trying to use a marking system that was suggested but it was just to much. Your marking system looks so easy and achievable took notes on how you did and can’t wait to try it out! Thanks again for sharing such helpful advice 😊
I love how your heart longs to draw near to God, through Bible journaling, a path of devotion, like a gentle river flowing toward its source. Even when the meaning feels hidden, remember that God is faithful, unveiling His truths in His perfect time. It’s not in the perfection of our study but in the joy of seeking Him that we are blessed. “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). Your love for God shines, and even if we don’t understand all the layers of His Word today, He promises us wisdom and spiritual richness. Keep diving into the Word, even when it feels unclear, for He is there with you, guiding and shaping your heart. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). The joy you find in the journey is precious. Let your soul dance in the presence of the One who knows you fully. Keep loving Him, keep putting Him first, and watch how He draws you even closer. Even if our paths never cross, may the light of His grace shine on you always. In Jesus precious name we pray Amen.
i like watch you and others do the marking-"nitpicking" i love praying over my discoveries and slowing down to savor/ taste to God be the Glory for you and for these tools -----------i just find in my personal experience that it crowds a passage but i do it in my journal sometimes-- pasting a typed/ printed out Bible chunk and marking it up arrowing coloring in code etc...........
Love this. Years ago I tried the inductive study but probably only did one chapter. From just watching you I learned a lot about how much info and understanding you get from picking apart a verse.
I enjoyed this technique because it helps me focus. Usually my mind wanders a lot when I do Bible studies. I followed along and did the marking in my Bible.
Loved this! Would love to see it again. What do you do if you join? What kind of Bible Study and notes are included in the basic plan? I finally retired. Thank you!
i love the mapping techniques and your excitement for studying/ handling the Word----- i wish guys would get in on these studies----i see a trend of ladies studying the Word but not guys and it makes me wonder if the guys dont see the importance and the voice of God in it----- God bless
I just recently found your channel and have watched many of the videos. I LOVE THEM! I bought 3 of your books on Amazon, Chapter Mapping, Verse Mapping and Character Mapping. I think for now, until I am accustomed to how to do all this mapping the books would be a better format for me. I DO see where this is beneficial and how in-depth it is. It is something I am going to have to graduate to though. I'm glad it is there for me when I feel ready to use it. And WHERE do get all those cute sticky notes packs? So cute! Thank you for sharing all you do with us.
So happy you found me and I pray that as you dig into His Word that you are greatly blessed!! ❤️ we’d love to have you join our online study!! You can check it out on my website.
This was definitely helpful. Thank you! I've been trying to figure it out on my own but seeing you do it made it all click. Wish I could remember better what position and action words were. LOL.
I still like the workbooks . I've been trying to write them like a personal commentary too . Your new study Bible looks nice ! Am ecxicted to get these , perfect for what i want to do . I like these BIC Pens they come ina barrel shape 4 colors each finding them is hard , than i found a variety of bic color pens old style these are hard to find to , neither bleeds through any of my Bibles .
I like your chapter,verse, paragraph,word and background workbooks the best Honestly not sure about this , will try it . English was a definite "D" couldn't remember all the rules .
Not on the topic of how to mark up, but on the topic of this passage...the word for "eyes" here ("Noah found favor/grace in the eyes of Yahweh...") can also mean FOUNTAIN. I thought that was a really fascinating extra layer of depth.
I currently homeschool and we have been loving sentence diagramming so this makes my nerd heart happy!! 🤓 Any chance you’ve compiled a cheat sheet for some examples of clue words and what to look for to identify all of them??
An as fellow homeschool mom recently introducing my 8year old to sentence diagramming this sang to my heart and I know he will enjoy us doing our Bible study together like this too..
It should. Because you’re looking at the parts of speech, it should work universally. And of course looking for God and repeated ideas matter in every book too!!❤
Youre so cute. I am tired just watching this. I have a journaling bible and a color code but its a long process. I like your markup system because trying to think and looking for inspiration and figuring out the colors and cross referencing all at the same time is impossible. Mark first and think later seems more productive.
Yes this was very helpful, and yes I want to see it again. I like this method of marking the bible, and studying. Its the best one by far. The only thing I do differently, is I also mark Gods pronouns with a triangle. Can you do another one, maybe psalms 1 since it uses all of the different marking elements? Thanks👏👏👏👏❤❤
Please do more of these showing this method

Excellent!
Loved this! I enjoy seeing how people study the Bible.
How long does it take for someone to color-code?
Yes I really learned so much in just those few verses. By you picking apart each word
I am new in knowing the Bible and i just loved the way you broke everything apart. ❤ Thank you
I loved this video and yes I would like to see more videos like this

I just ordered all three of these Old Testament. I love this Bible version. Can’t wait to get them. Thanks Niki

Fascinating!! Thanks! This helped me a lot🤗
Glad it was helpful!
Love this. Years ago I tried the inductive study but probably only did one chapter. From just watching you I learned a lot about how much info and understanding you get from picking apart a verse.
You can do it! You should consider joining our group sometime. We do the inductive process together online. It’s so fun, and helpful!!

Wonderful!

Do you have a tutorial for beginners, learning the bibile and understanding the what the verses mean?
Helpful....thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I like your chapter,verse, paragraph,word and background workbooks the best
Honestly not sure about this , will try it .
English was a definite "D" couldn't remember all the rules .
Me either!! I think that’s why it interests me now, because the Bible is interesting and amazing!!
Not on the topic of how to mark up, but on the topic of this passage...the word for "eyes" here ("Noah found favor/grace in the eyes of Yahweh...") can also mean FOUNTAIN. I thought that was a really fascinating extra layer of depth.
Helpful
，can you provide a printable of your points please?
Helpful, when studying, are we to break chapters down verse by verse?
I do. I go verse by verse, focusing mostly on what it says about God and then what ideas are repeated.
Helpful. As with any system of text marking, make it your own.
Yes, exactly❤
I currently homeschool and we have been loving sentence diagramming so this makes my nerd heart happy!! 🤓
Any chance you’ve compiled a cheat sheet for some examples of clue words and what to look for to identify all of them??
I haven't figured out a good way to show that as a universal thing to look for, so I haven't created one yet. It's a good idea though!!
Just rewatching this and saw where you mentioned the clue words are conjunctions! I’ve got it now!😅
@@ItsMe0130injerjections and conjunctions
An as fellow homeschool mom recently introducing my 8year old to sentence diagramming this sang to my heart and I know he will enjoy us doing our Bible study together like this too..
Thanks so much for this, I love it!❤
Question: do u think this system will work for every book of the bible?
It should. Because you’re looking at the parts of speech, it should work universally. And of course looking for God and repeated ideas matter in every book too!!❤

I enjoyed the video. Wish your book products were in a personal store instead of Amazon...not a fan of Amazon.
