I think it makes sense to read it slow and read it fast.
You need to read the Bible for a lifetime, because every time you're in a new season of your life, this living document gives you new insights and perspectives.
But one win for reading fast is that it feels productive and powerful. If you read it slow and it feels like it drags, it'll discourage future reading.
I usually read a little at a time to let it sink in, but I always appreciate learning from the perspective of those who understand the context of a certain passage (from reading the whole thing) so maybe it’s time to go for a full, fast, read-through!

Same! I love marinating a few verses at a time. That’s why this “speed read” was so interesting.
