"Why use 'blue' for God?"

I use the English Standard Version (ESV) for most of my videos, but sometimes you will see me use New King James, New American Standard, and other translations. See my upcoming Blog posts for a brief explaination.

"Why use 'blue' for God?"
Bible Translations
I usually use a 'single-column journaling Bible' for Foundational because I like the wide margins for notes and questions, but you name it, I have used it. You might prefer to begin with an inexpensive Bible so that you do not feel conflicted about marking up a more expensive Bible. What matters most is that you start! Watch this site and Foundational's Patreon site for future postings about the many resources available in the world of Bible texts.

"What if I have questions?"
Really, a common question I get is, "does it matter what colors I use to highlight certain words?" In short: Yes. It is definitely helpful to start off with one color scheme, which will help you follow along. There are many benefits to using this set of colors and symbols, which will be an ongoing topic on this site. There is nothing 'spiritual' about the choice of colors, but there are practical advantages. In time you can personalize it if you want.

"What if I have questions?"
Excellent. We all have questions, and my heart's goal is that people who let me walk along side of them feel free to ask any and all questions. Not only does Foundational have a practical and unique method of processing questions, but you may contact me through this website, and you can gain even more access to me through Foundational's "Patreon" website.
