    Aug 11 2025

    Is the Bible really the Word of God, or just another religious book? In this episode of Family Vision, Rob Rienow begins a powerful two-part message on the miracle of the Bible—exploring why it is reasonable to believe the Scriptures are truly inspired by God and not merely human ideas.

    Rob shares compelling evidence that the Bible tells one unified story from Genesis to Revelation, written by 40 different authors over 1,800 years, yet perfectly consistent in its message. You'll also discover how the Scriptures have been miraculously preserved through the centuries, with meticulous care taken to ensure accuracy.

    Whether you're confident in your faith or still asking questions, this conversation will strengthen your trust in God’s Word and inspire you to treasure the Bible as His unchanging truth for your life and family.

    - Why the Bible’s unity over 66 books is a miracle in itself

    - How Scripture has been preserved with extraordinary accuracy
