About this listen

Heard that the Bible is "full of contradictions"? Worried those alleged errors might shake your faith? Think again.

In this episode, we're tackling the hard questions head-on: Can we really trust that Scripture is completely accurate? What about those confusing passages and seemingly contradictory accounts? Discover what "biblical inerrancy" actually means, why it matters for your everyday faith, and how to handle passages that seem problematic at first glance. The answer might give you more confidence in God's Word than you've ever had.

"The goal isn't to understand every word perfectly - it's to trust the God who spoke every word perfectly."

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

  • What "inerrancy" really means (and what it doesn't mean)
  • Why most alleged contradictions disappear when you understand the context
  • How Jesus himself viewed Scripture's reliability
  • Why difficult passages don't equal erroneous passages

Practical Applications:

  • Inerrancy gives you confidence to build your entire life on Scripture
  • It protects you from picking and choosing what to believe based on comfort
  • It deepens your trust in God's character and attention to details

Your Assignment This Week: If there's a Bible passage that's been bothering you or causing doubt, study it more carefully this week. Look at different translations, read commentaries, and approach it assuming the problem is with your understanding, not with the text.

Community Question: What's one Bible passage that used to confuse you or seem problematic, but now makes more sense? Or if you're still wrestling with a difficult passage, what is it?
