THE BLIND PROFESSOR & THE 72-HOUR BIBLE CHALLENGE
Have you ever struggled to get anything out of your daily Bible reading? If you want to move from simply reading the Bible as a chore to mastering it for a lifetime, this deeply practical and inspiring class by John Barnett will show you exactly how. John shares the exact study method and the life-altering challenge from a blind professor that completely transformed his spiritual walk as a 19-year-old Bible college student.
Here is why you cannot miss watching this highly practical class:
1. THE DEVOTIONAL METHOD: TITLE, TRUTH, AND PRAYER
Scripture Reference: Revelation 1
Summary: John unpacks the ultimate "Devotional Bible Study" method that you can apply to all 1,189 chapters of the Bible. The process is simple but profound: give the chapter a title, write down the lessons and truths you find, and then write a highly personal prayer. Crucially, this prayer isn’t for your roommate or your family; it is a direct plea for God to change you, asking Him to use His sword to keep you useful and pure.
2. THE 72-HOUR REALITY CHECK
Scripture Reference: Acts 8; Revelation 1:3
Summary: In the ancient world, people never read silently—which is why Philip could hear the Ethiopian eunuch reading the scriptures from his chariot. John challenges our modern excuses about not having enough time by revealing a staggering statistic: it only takes a sixth grader exactly 72 hours to read the entire Bible out loud from Genesis to Revelation.
3. THE BLIND PROFESSOR’S ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
Scripture Reference: Psalm 119 (Implied in the love for the Word)
Summary: When John was 19, an incredible blind professor told him, "You will never be able to teach the Bible until you’ve read it through at least once for every year you are old". Taking this to heart, John mapped out his week and found he was wasting enough time that he could carve out 2 hours and 38 minutes every day. He used that time to begin reading the entire Bible completely through once a month.
4. THE HIGHLIGHTER HABIT: THEMATIC MASTERY
Scripture Reference: Isaiah (e.g., God as the "everlasting burnings")
Summary: How do you read the Bible that much without just mindlessly mumbling? You become a treasure hunter. John explains his method of reading through the Bible looking for one specific theme each month with a highlighter in hand. One month he marked all 470+ names and titles of God; the next month he analyzed who prayed the longest prayers and how they prayed; the next month he traced the themes of salvation and marriage.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Don’t just do your Bible reading to get it over with. Let the Word of Christ overflow your life so you can share His greatest miracle of salvation with a dying world. If you apply this method, it will build a foundation of hope that will last the rest of your life.
