About this episode

This episode emphasizes the importance of context in understanding Scripture and encourages deeper engagement with the Bible.

In a world where every opinion feels like a hot take and every Bible verse can be used as a weapon or meme, how do you know what the Bible actually means? This message unpacks how context is the key to understanding Scripture clearly. Learn how to move beyond surface-level takes and into a deeper understanding of God's voice so you don't just read the Bible—but understand what God is saying to you.
