It’s called Lectio Divina, which means “Divine Reading” in Latin.
This isn’t about rushing through a chapter or filling out a study guide — it’s about slowing down, listening deeply, and letting God’s Word speak directly to your heart. For centuries, followers of Jesus have used Lectio Divina as a way to hear His voice, know Him more intimately, and be transformed by His presence.
