Let’s chat about Alexa reading the bible. I tried y’all… but still think bible studies are boring. In my last attempt to do a women’s bible study – there was a TON of homework. I have a slight ADHD problem over here when it came to reading all of the bible verses. 

The bible study had numerous scriptures, and guys it was just too much. I jokingly searched the web to see if Alexa could just read me the bible. So if you were wondering can Alexa read the bible? Yes, she he it or however Alexa identifies – totally can.
