Tara Lee Cobble

Hey, Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. Today, I want to tell you how I got to this place, hosting this podcast and loving reading the Bible, because that wasn't always my story. And I figured if you and I are going to spend every morning having a conversation, it might be nice to hear a little bit about each other.

At the time, I'd been in full-time ministry for a few years as a musician and a writer and a speaker, and Lee had mentioned that I should say very little on stage until I'd read the whole Bible. I was deeply convicted by the challenge to fill my head and my heart with all of God's words before attempting to say much about it on stage.

Unfortunately, they have to make some big mistakes and in front of loads of people, no less, and only then will they hear the truth for the first time. I've made mistakes like this too. Just last month, a friend sought me out for some advice, and I made a few suggestions which she thought were great.

I grew up in a Christian home, and my first memory is my mom teaching me John 3.16, around the time I was three years old. Not long after that, my brother Jason asked me if I wanted to be a Christian, and he prayed with me to follow Christ with my life. I was probably only about four years old, so I had very little idea of what that amounted to.

Or maybe they flip around in their Bible and try to find something relatable, but then they hit something confusing or off-putting and they can't seem to make sense of how it all fits together. Maybe they decide to start a Bible reading plan, usually at the beginning of a year when they're working on New Year's resolutions.

Then I said, before you act on my advice, would you mind if I ask someone else I know who's a professional and has actually dealt with this a few times before? She agreed, so I called the professional, I shared my friend's situation and my brilliant proposed solution. Without pause, the professional replied by saying something along the lines of, that is terrible advice, never do that.

They launch out with ambition and zeal on January 1, but they begin to lose interest in a few weeks, and by mid-February, they've fallen off the wagon altogether. This was me too. It was like, okay, I've read through Genesis eight times, but nothing beyond that. Can you relate? Are you on track to being a Genesis scholar right along with me?

I still count that conversation as one of the most important ones of my life. If it weren't for him, I never would have launched DGroup, the discipleship and Bible study ministry I lead, which has now touched every populated continent and is even in Spanish. And I definitely wouldn't have started the Bible Recap because I never would have fallen in love with God and His Word.
