I'm like you - raised in the church - but my parents weren't too into the second dunking so it was just one and done for me 🤣. As for Bible reading tips - I enjoyed yours!! One approach that has helped me a lot over the years is the SOAP method. You may know it - but it stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer. So you read a portion, observe whats there, apply that to your life, then commit it all to the Lord in prayer. It's simple, but used daily, really works.

I love point #4. We’re so utilitarian and pragmatic, we read the Bible like a how-to manual. But if the takeaway is time with God in his Word, we get that every time we open it in his presence, even if we don’t have three tidy little applications at the end of our time. I’ve also found audio Bibles helpful. Sometimes going for a walk or a run with an audio Bible hits me differently than sitting on the couch with my coffee and journal.
