About ADHD Bible Study
ADHD Bible Study was created by Robert Boyd, a former preacher, husband, and father to three neurodivergent children.
Following a late diagnosis of ADHD at age 40, Robert found that his diagnosis did more than explain a lifetime of struggles; it reframed his understanding of faith and helped move his story from one of deficit to one of meaning, dignity, and belonging.
This site exists because of that journey. It is a free, growing community for Christians with ADHD, offering a space to explore faith honestly, without shame, without pressure, and without needing to have it all figured out.
Everything here is designed specifically for the ADHD Christian mind. It is not adapted from something else, not a workaround, but original content built from the ground up for the way ADHD Christians think, feel and encounter God.
The theology of ADHDBibleStudy.com
Our work, content and mission is built around three principles.
Faith, not formula
Christian faith is built on the belief that God’s love and acceptance cannot be earned by following the right formula.
Salvation comes through faith, not through the quality or consistency of our spritual habits or our ability to sit still through a sermon.
God looks at the heart, not our ability to follow the prescribed method. Grace covers what performance cannot.
The mismatch
Genuine faith, however scattered or inconsistent its outward expression may be, is seen and valued by God.
Struggle is not evidence of spiritual failure; it may simply reflect a brain that works differently amid neurotypical expectations.
The church has yet to fully recognise how ADHD brains connect with God, or embrace that difference.
Fruits of ADHD
For all its challenges, the ADHD mind brings something genuinely distinctive to the life of the Christian believer.
The intensity, creativity, passion, hyperfocus, and restless longing for God that characterise ADHD are not obstacles to encountering him.
They are gifts and potential pathways to him that many have been slow to recognise.
Don’t know where to start?
Our first devotional is perhaps our most important.
The Dangerous Lie: ADHD & Weak Faith challenges the idea that ADHD makes our faith less valid before God. It reminds us that we are saved by grace through faith, not by the consistency of our devotional life, or our ability to follow through perfectly.
