What is ROAD?

Read using what we call the ROAD method. Here’s how it works. As you read, the Spirit of God will highlight a verse or phrase (or even one word).

Reflect on this insight in this way: Read, Observe, Apply, Depend.

follow the ROAD:

READ — Write down the main highlighted verse or portion of a verse.

OBSERVE — Write down what you notice about the passage. You could even re-write the passage in your own words, or ask questions aimed at getting at the meaning the author intended (see back of this).

APPLY — Describe what you will do with what God showed you.

DEPEND — Write out a prayer expressing your need for God’s wisdom and help.
