You Could Be Reading the Bible Wrong: The Lens That Changes Everything

About this episode

Vanessa Luu discusses a transformative approach to reading the Bible, emphasizing understanding God's nature over personal application.

You could be reading the Bible wrong. I don’t mean that harshly. I mean that personally. For years, I started with the question, “How does this apply to me?” But Leviticus 14 showed me something deeper. The Bible was first given to reveal who God is. When we start there, everything changes. In today’s episode of the You Don’t Have to Be Perfect Podcast , I share the lens that shifted how I read not just Leviticus — but the entire Bible. ************************ Other Resources: You Don't Have To Be Perfect by Vanessa Luu Truth and Tools Workbook by Vanessa Luu The Relevant Old Testament by Vanessa Luu The Wilderness Remains by Vanessa Luu To Support Leave a review and help spread the word about this uplifting podcast.
