How to BE with the Word in a DOing World - INTERVIEW with Michelle Nezat

Jan 23, 2025

This week, I’m joined by Michelle Nezat, a passionate Bible teacher, podcaster, and Christian fiction author, as she shares her mission to help believers fall deeply in love with God’s Word. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to engage with Scripture or found yourself relying on devotionals, music, or conversations as substitutes for the Bible itself, this conversation is for you.

Michelle is the host of the More Than a Song** podcast**, where she has spent over a decade guiding listeners to connect with Scripture through the lens of Christian music. Now, as the author of the Christian fiction novel A Seat at the Table, she’s using storytelling as a creative way to inspire readers to explore deep theological truths and engage with God’s Word in fresh, meaningful ways.

Here’s what we explore in this episode:

  • Why engaging with God’s Word is critical for spiritual growth.

  • How Christian music can act as a springboard to study the Bible.

  • Practical tools to help you start—or restart—your journey with Scripture.

  • Breaking free from cultural distractions to refocus on the truth of God’s Word.

  • The role of Christian fiction in helping readers connect with biblical themes and theology.

Michelle encourages us to "seek His face before seeking His hand" and reminds us that the Bible isn’t just a book—it’s a life-giving conversation with our Creator, filled with treasures waiting to be discovered.

Whether you’re a seasoned Bible reader or someone struggling to prioritize Scripture, this episode will reignite your desire to sit at the feet of the Father, grow in faith, and experience the joy of His Word.
