Summary

Have you ever struggled to see how all the pieces of the Bible fit together?

You're not alone. Many believers find it challenging to connect the dots between the events of Scripture and how they relate to each other. But here’s the good news: Understanding the timeline of Scripture can bring clarity and a deeper sense of purpose to your Bible study, helping you see the big picture of God’s unfolding story.

In this episode, Iva May breaks down the importance of studying Scripture chronologically and why every believer should understand the overarching story arc of the Bible. You’ll gain fresh insights into how God’s plan has been unfolding since creation and how you fit into this incredible narrative.

0:00.0	Hi, friends. Thanks for tuning in to the Proverbs 31 Ministries podcast where we share biblical truth for any girl in any season. I'm your host Meredith Brock Brock, and I am here today with my co-host,
0:22.6	Amanda Bacon. Hey, Meredith. It's always fun to be here on the show with you. And today, we're going to
0:28.4	hear from a new friend and Bible teacher named Iva Mae. We loved our time recording with her,
0:33.3	and she's going to unpack a chronological timeline of scripture. And then we're going to chat about why that's so important for us.

1:43.0	we'll be studying the book of Genesis together.
1:46.2	What a great place to start the year, right? So both of these resources will help you set an amazing
