If we could walk through the streets of Palestine during Jesus' time, we might hear lively debate about Scripture pouring from the modest clay homes. I believe that studying the Bible wasn't really meant to be a solitary event, and we grow more when we engage together! So, let's take a journey of studying the Bible, growing in prayer, and letting our light shine for the sake of the world around us!
As for me, I grew up in a small country church and developed a passion for my Christian faith in college. I pursued a career in Christian radio, and then became a pastor. Now, I'm staying home with my little ones, and sharing Bible study content from home, while also chipping away at a doctorate degree in Bible (one class at a time!) My husband and I live with our 4 small kids in the outskirts of the Twin Cities, MN metro.
I simply LOVE the Word of God and teaching from it.
Thanks so much for being here :-)

Love those Kwik Trip Creme donuts! Planning a trip home to MN this fall and planned on bringing 10 boxes back with me! They freeze well. Have you tried the lemon ones? They are so good too! Hometown Winona :)
Thank you, Diana. You are so inspiring. I, too, am part of that 70%, and your prayer was just what i needed to hear today. God bless you and your family
Dearest Diana, You are my person to inspire & encourage, to teach & to lead me into relationship with God & His word!! God bless you! Oh yeah, & to learn to pray - your prayers are so spontaneous & beautiful, & most importantly sincerely from your heart! You are a woman after God’s own heart - I aspire to be, but I’m just beginning & that’s ok. Your videos uplift & inspire & are so relevant to this day & time, & for times to come. You actually gives us ways to focus on Jesus during everyday living, implementing what you’ve taught us & practical ways to make God accessible to us at every moment - He is always there, you help me to connect with Him! I so want to be in your Bible Study 🙏🏻 Thank you❣️
Diana my mom went to be with the Lord Monday. Can't imagine doing this without the Lord. Keep doing what you are doing! Pray that I can evangelize as I go thru this journey. c
I needed this! I got my area set up and started today! Thanks for the good information and the encouragement!
Your love for the Lord and all of us is so evident in each of your videos. Thank you for all you do.
Great topic, Diana. I appreciate your videos and your encouraging spirit. 💗 I cherish my Bible reading and prayer time. It’s miracle grow for my soul! 🌱☀️😊
You look so cute today and so tiny! Thank you for this video. Just you reading Colossians brought me back to wanting to be nice!! Ha. Thank you. Thank you!!!
Awesome video, Diana! And the Bible study group is THE. BEST. You are amazing!!
Side note, I thought you had set up an office in the basement?
Change and Rewards. Rewards: I printed a Bible reading list for the year and stuck it in a binder along with a daily list to track what scriptures I read. I keep it next to my bed and fill it out at the end of the day which helps keep me on track. By doing this daily, I have formed a new habit. Now I'm not only doing my daily reads, but I am weeks ahead of the printout, spending more time in specific books and even doing additional studies of them, both at home and at my church. Maybe this will help to motivate someone else out there. :)
Change and Rewards. Change: I used to read the Bible every day. Then we started going to a new church and that habit slipped away. I was doing other things, but had no desire to read my Bible. So we left that church, finding one that is more Bible-based, and I am now back in the Bible again every day. Even my husband says this new church is challenging him more too. Win-win!
Diane, I appreciate your leadership. I just had a bad experience at church with (not our Pastor) but someone in leadership that is not going about leadership in the right way. People are pulling away from this person and what could have been done under that leadership is diminishing. It breaks my heart, but I've had to reset in how I go about signing up for things at church. Please pray that God helps this come to a better outcome, I need to pray over this person, but my peace is shaken. I wish I knew a study that would help with teaching leaders in the church and group participants about how to lead and how to function as a body of Christ.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!❤
Dear Diana, thank you so much for the beautiful reminder. Consistency is key. So often, I feel held back by my own perfectionism. Allowing myself to start small and even reward the small beginnings is a beautiful path to growth. Many blessings to you and your family and thank you so much for your continuous time and love.
Diana, what happened to your office with the really cool shelves that you and Dawn finished?
Thank you Diana❤️
I get up, make our bed, and my husband has my hot water ready for my tea. I take my tea cup back to our room where I have a comfortable chair, a table with a lamp on it to have "tea" with Abba. I can look out my window and thank the Lord for the beautiful scene; I read my devotions before I dive into the Bible book that I am studying and afterwards I write in my gratitude journal. I love this time now and don't like to miss it when we have an early appointment to rush off to. BUT, even days that I don't have that morning time, I talk to Him; getting ready; folding laundry; fixing meals, etc. We need Him - make time with Him a priority even if it can't be a set aside time. Thank you for your encouraging words; your enthusiasm for the Lord - keep on keeping on!
Thanks for this encouragement Diana!!!! I do think there is something powerful about writing things down! Your excitement for the Lord is infectious!!!!! <3 <3
Exactly ! Blessings +++!!!
I’ve been writing Scriptures for a couple of years! I agree that it’s open up my spirit and mind to God’s voice like never before. It causes me to ponder and apply the truths more readily. ❤
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing!!
So good!
Thank you, Diana! This was just what I needed to hear today! I’m inspired to get back on track with my Bible reading!
Thanks, Diana!
Are those donuts from Kwik Trip? I was at one in the Blaine area for my dad's funeral and was blown away by the awesome gas station.
Haha, yes!! So so so good 😆 So sorry for your loss 🥹💛
Thank you so much, this is a true blessing to me!
I love your utube and always tell my self l need to read the bible but l do not do this not because of the 70% which the serva said but my understanding and Evan pronation the words wrong. I am dyslexic but over the years l have been able to enjoy reading books but if we discussed the same book, we had read what I would comment on, might not be the same as you had read. I also chose books were there is space between the rows of words. I live in England so l do not know if l would be able to join your class and they may be to difficult for me but l think l am making an excuse there has you always explain the bible very clearly and make it so interesting, being dyslexic also has a real lovely treat. I see in pictures when I’m reading in great detail so it does take me some time to read anything, but the pictures are always beautiful and changing all the time. I hope l have not board you please is there anyway you can think of for me to start on this journey thank you for all the time you must spend producing your wonderful videos from Lynda ❤
💕
Our church is reading the Bible through, chronologically, this year as a congregation and our message each Sunday is from the weeks reading. It’s been very rewarding
I’ve read through the Bible a few times. This year I joined a community reading plan and it has transformed my studying and relationship with the Lord. It was one aspect I was definitely missing out on. The Holy Spirit has been working.
Thank you, Diana! ❤
Thanks for the great video!
I tried to get the printable. But it said my info was invalid when I triple checked and tried multiple times
Hi Diana. Where did you get the distracted part? I didn't pick up on that at all. 69% said they don't read the Bible more because "they have the time, but choose to do other things". They are saying it is not a priority for them. They have other activities they would rather do, right?
I did the Bible Recap last year & loved it, but couldn’t find something to stick with this year. Today I decided to begin “100 Bible Verses everyone should know by heart” by Robert J. Morgan. I’ve done it twice before and it’s life-changing! He is an amazing pastor and author. You can get this in print, Kindle, and Audio. I’m using all three 🙂! Try it!
Thank you for this video!!❤
I love the idea of using an actual timer instead of our phones; we can get easily distracted by them. Thank you so much for all you do 💕💕 P.S. doughnuts are my downfall too, LOL!! 🍩🍩
I purchased Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus from your recommendation Oh my goodness what a treasure! It opens an entire new level of understanding Thank you so much,! I did The Bible Recap last year I did read the entire Old Testament and I am working my way through the New Testament I grew up in deeply religious southern Baptist family and had some bad experiences I don’t attend church for many years but have recently found a church I love and feel as though I am finally growing in faith
Thank you for your wonderful channel Diana & for inspiring us so! Truly appreciate the content, not to mention, the thoughtful, loving & most thoughtful way, you present each video! xo 😘
I'm on my 2nd year of your recommendation of the Bible Recap. It has changed my life. I've never read the Bible all the way thru in my 67 years. I learn something new each day even though I read it last year. Thank you for sharing...it has made a difference in my life!!
I’m 66, and this is my 2nd year reading the Bible through, also-with the Bible Recap. For me, that made all the difference. I also use the audible Bible and listen to the passage(s) for the day. Plus, I almost always read/listen to it with my coffee in the morning. I took your advice, Diana, and started the Bible Recap 2 years ago. Thank you!
I am one of the 70% as well. For my whole life I’ve struggled to read the Bible due to many excuses I always make. Well, first and foremost we need God, we all agree on that., But you are definitely needed in my life!! I know I needed to hear this today and am so excited to get started!! You are such a big light in this world for me Diana!
Help! I'm 62 years old. I'm the youngest of 5 children,. Most of my older siblings have strong faith and are spiritual. I was left at home with other family members when Sunday school happened (spoiled). I was confirmed believe it or not. We were between ministers and I feel we were all just slid through. However I raised my 2 children going to Sunday school. They are strong Christians and I feel at this age I want to be more spiritual. I'm embarrassed. I feel I want to learn from the very beginning, like a child. I have 2 grandchildren and I want to be able to answer their questions, and be part of their spiritual learning. Can you tell me where I should start.
I love you Diana Kokku
Off topic, I love your top, very cute and colourful.
Great tips! Thanks! 😊
You always look sweet and happy, but I love that Pink flower shirt you are wearing today. So fresh and pretty. thank you for inner beauty as well. God bless you.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and bringing great ideas and joy to us 😊 ❤️🙏
Reach for the nice😊 indeed❤
