🆕 Were You Taught to Read the Bible Wrong? | How to Start Over After Religious Control – EP146

What happens when you still love God’s Word, but years of fear, performance, proof-texting and bad interpretation have made it difficult to open it again? In this episode, we’re talking about how to start over with Scripture, without quotas, guilt, or needing a pastor to tell you what God is saying. We’ll share practical ways to get back into the Bible, then walk through how to read it faithfully using context, exegesis, literary genre, good resources, discernment, and a whole lot less Pentecostal baggage. You don’t have to become a Bible scholar or build a perfect devotional streak. You can slow down, ask questions, test what you were taught, and keep coming back to Jesus. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. - Psalm 119:15-16 ESVLast Week: ⁠Did God Really Show You That? | How Pentecostal Preachers Twist Scripture – EP145Show Links:⁠Kim Haney - “not even a Kleenex”⁠Daniel McDonald - “we could be eating already!”⁠T’Neil Walea - “time to read your bible”⁠Jack Cunningham - “not a suggestion”⁠Matthew Tuttle - “KJV all the way!”⁠Jeff Arnold - “dead jerk, nut & nincompoop”⁠Austin Garrett - “a lifetime of dedication”⁠Matthew Tuttle - “we preach in a suit & tie”⁠Josh Herring - “shadow of a Goliath”⁠Caleb Adams - “Scripture down to us”⁠Nathaniel Urshan - “are we a cult?”⁠Jamie Herndon | Unashamedly You Podcast - “MOG = VOG”Playlists:Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - YoutubeHoliness StandardsThe Church BuildingExamining PentecostalismThe “MOG” (Man of God)All About The MoneyAbuse In The PulpitAddressing NAYC CommentsFEAR!!!
