Ever feel like the Word turns into the Wild, Wild West? Me too.

But when it comes to Bible interpretation, it’s not “anything goes.” In this episode, we talk about why Scripture can’t mean whatever we want it to mean.

Join me as we unpack hermeneutics in plain language and avoid common interpretation pitfalls. Grab a coffee, saddle up, and let’s tame the chaos.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Because the goal of quality hermeneutics is to get down to the plain meaning. Quality interpretation isn’t meant to be one-of-a-kind. There are no points here for creativity and uniqueness. Usually if someone’s touting a “hidden gem” or “secret insight” about the Word, that’s a pretty easy tell that it’s off somewhere...or maybe a snake oil salesman. We’re looking to make good sense of the text, as in common sense."

When it comes to coffee, you've got options. And when it comes to Bible translations, you've got options too, my Friend.

Join me as we talk through some translation tools to enhance the flavor of your daily reading. Episode 105 lays the groundwork as we continue in our series: Gets My Goat: How To Actually Read the Word.

Here's a small excerpt: "But it’s never about trying harder. It’s about training; it’s about curating a life. A life that celebrates His glory and champions the ordinary. Celebrates the ways He’s revealing Himself in the most ordinary places of my life…right on my couch, in my pajamas, with a cup of mostly decaf, black coffee. Because the Word is so much more than just bridging the gap between the original language and my language."

Having the right tools for the job is apparently pretty important. Or, that’s what my husband tells me every time he buys a new tool.

And apparently the right tools for reading the Word are pretty important too. So, join me as we keep the conversation going in our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. Grab yourself somethin’ hot and let’s chat about it. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "It’s been almost 25 years now, but I still remember that every day I need a Q-Tip…a quiet time in His Presence to clean out my ears from the noise of this world, that I can hear what God’s revealing. To get out the gunk, the buildup of culture’s lies that stick all too easily, like a waxy film over my mind. To clean those unseen places hidden deep within…because every day you need a Q-Tip…a quiet time in His presence, to hear what God’s revealing."
