    The Bible in Time and Culture

    This episode is a thoughtful, practical conversation about how to study the Bible with confidence by understanding its structure, genre, history, and audience. The hosts explain that Scripture is a library of 66 books written in different literary forms, languages, and cultural settings, so readers need to pay attention to context, use trustworthy study tools, and avoid building beliefs from isolated verses. They also emphasize that the Bible is God’s complete revelation, that truth is absolute rather than relative, and that the New Testament is the authoritative guide for Christians today while the Old Testament still provides the foundation and depth that make the New Testament meaningful. Along the way, they use stories from their own cross-cultural backgrounds in Zambia and the United States to show how every reader brings a worldview to the text, and why becoming a Christian means learning to live under God’s kingdom culture rather than our own.

    The Nature of Holy Scripture

    This episode continues a series on foundational Bible study principles, covering topics like the importance of reading every verse in the context of the whole Bible, practical tools for word study (including the Blue Letter Bible app, Nave's Topical Bible, and others), why historical and cultural context matters when reading Scripture, and the distinction between the Old and New Testaments as two covenants. The second half explores what it means for readers to come to the Bible from their own cultural backgrounds — illustrated by the family's years living in a traditional kingdom in Zambia — and how each culture carries both godly fingerprints and things that must be surrendered as one enters the culture of Christ.
