To minimize bleed-through, opt for quality journaling Bibles or notebooks with thicker pages. Use media that is less likely to bleed, such as colored pencils, light watercolor washes, or bleed-proof pens (Mr.Pen is a good brand). You can also place a piece of paper as a blotter page behind your work to protect the next page.

Start by selecting a verse that speaks to you or relates to your current life situation. Read it a few times, and let your thoughts and feelings guide your creative process. It could be as simple as writing a personal reflection or adding some decorative elements around the verse.

Begin by setting aside a small, manageable amount of time each day or week—just 10 to 15 minutes can make a significant difference. Treat it as a sacred appointment with yourself and God. Over time, you’ll find the practice becomes a cherished part of your routine.

Focus on what resonates with you in your current spiritual journey. This could be gratitude, prayer requests, reflections on daily readings, or specific Bible stories or themes. There’s no right or wrong subject—follow what inspires and uplifts you.

Yes, digital Bible journaling is a growing trend. You can use digital Bibles and apps like Goodnotes that allow adding digital art to create your journal pages. This option is great for those who prefer a less messy approach or enjoy the versatility of digital tools.

Not at all. Start with basic supplies like a pen and notebook. As you grow in your journaling practice, you can gradually add more items like highlighters, colored pencils, stickers, or washi tape. It’s more about the process and your engagement with the Word than about the Bible journaling supplies.

Look for online communities, social media groups, or YouTube tutorials focused on Bible journaling. These platforms are rich with ideas and tutorials from fellow Bible journalers. Attending workshops or joining local groups can also provide hands-on learning and inspiration.
