Summary

In this episode, Scott and Brandon discuss the authority of Scripture in the context of modern social media influences, particularly TikTok. They explore how these platforms can distort theological understanding, especially among younger generations like Gen Z. The conversation emphasizes the importance of discipleship within the local church, the need for proper hermeneutics, and the dangers of celebrity-driven theology. They provide practical steps for reclaiming Scripture as the ultimate authority in life and encourage listeners to engage deeply with the Word of God while navigating cultural shifts and political conversations with their children.
