Hey all! my name is Amanda I live out in Nova Scotia Canada , I am 34 years old soon to be 35 in April 2nd! I became a follower of Jesus 3 years ago and counting when my life was forever changed by Jesus when I was stuck in a 10 yr alcohol addiction and depression and He saved me from that and many more since then and that's the beginning of my story/ testimony all for His glory amen !

I'm here to make some new friends and fellowship also to learn more on my Christian walk since I'm new to reading the bible and that I'm open to any advice or tips on studying that makes it easier to understand like what kind of version to use of the bible for example.

I also love to learn about apologetics and theology and just learning about different denominations and understanding why , the more I can learn the better it helps with my walk with Christ and i find it interesting

I cant wait to hopefully make some new friends and fellowship and looking forward to meeting you all and thanks so much for reading!
God bless you all 🙏

Hello again Amanda (@Novawin87), here are some links that you may find helpful in your walk (I know I do :)).

www.biblebub.com - there are plenty of study tools available to you there, as well as the ability to compare translations​
www.biblegateway.com - another excellent study site // https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Gen.1 - you can find online "audio" Bibles to listen to here, in various translations and formats​
www.gotquestions.org - a great place to get answers to your basic questions about the Bible, and Christianity in general. It is also a great place to begin a deeper study of a Biblical topic or verse.​
Finally, here are several locations to listen to daily teachings/lectures and/or sermons by some of my favorite theologians, pastors and missionaries.​
Renewing Your Mind w/Dr. R C Sproul (and a number of other Ligonier/Renewing Your Mind teaching fellows .. Romans 12:2)
Grace To You w/Dr. John MacArthur​
Insight For Living w/Dr. Chuck Swindoll​
Gateway To Joy w/Elisabeth Elliot​

Whoops, the first link in my last post should be www.biblehub.com (instead of bibleBUB.com). Sorry about that!!

Just FYI, we have 5 minutes (and not a second more) to make corrections to our posts (once we hit the "Post Reply" button). So, it is a good idea to do a better job of proof-reading your posts prior to posting them than I just did :rolleyes:

There are many Canadian peeps here so you should feel right at home. That is a good report of God delivering you from the alcohol addiction. I am certain you will find ample opportunity to make new friends and for fellowship. Glad to have you as part of our family. Welcome to CC.

Yo welcome praise God for you and your testimony.

I read the bible with a passive mind, just allowing God to plant His seed.
