Is the Bible actually worth reading? Beyond quotes and soundbites, feel good messages and confusing stories, what is the Bible? In Part 1 of (Mis)Understanding the Bible we're diving into the “what” and the “why” of the B-I-B-L-E. And you might leave rerethinking the book you thought you knew.You've probably heard the Bible is confusing, outdated, inspiring, life-changing, or just a neat story. So which is it? Over the next four weeks we'll tackle the questions people actually ask: What does the Bible say? Who was it originally written for? Is it trustworthy? And why should I read it at all? If you've tried and stalled, or you're skeptical of church answers, you're not alone. The Bible may not be what you've been told.

Guest speaker Pastor Bob Harrison brings a message all about how we can have an accurate and applicable grasp on the Bible.

Zach Windahl grew up going to church, but it wasn’t until a low point in 2014—when he seriously questioned if Christianity was even for him—that his faith became real. He packed up and moved to Australia for an intensive Bible study, spending 12 hours a day, six days a week in Scripture. Within a week, everything changed. That transformation sparked a calling: help people actually understand the Bible. Zach launched The Brand Sunday, which went on to become one of the fastest-growing brands in the country. Now, with The Bible Simplified, he’s making the storyline of the Bible clear, accessible, and deeply relevant—no fluff, no pressure, just real truth for real life. His mission? To meet people where they are, simplify faith, and show that the Bible isn’t just for scholars—it’s for everyone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episdoe of Theologcailyl Fashioned, we're joined by Dr. Josh Morgan to explore how spiritual disciplines help us grow closer to God - not as a checklist of tasks, but as intentional practices that shape and position our hearts for transformation. Together, we unpack the beauty and purpose behind disciplines like prayer, Scripture, and silence and how they fashion us into people who are continurally being renewed by Christ.  This conversation is an invitation to deeper formation and a reminder that spiritual growth is less about striving and more about surrender.  Connect with me on instagram @itmonicaritchie for more conversations about theology, Scripture, and faithful living as a woman of God.  Connect with Dr. Josh Morgan   Instagram @Joshuasethmorgan  Podcast: Feel Closer to God Today on the 8ish Minute Bible Study Podcast Website: Dr. Josh Morgan

How important is the Bible? It’s so vital that people in many countries risk their lives to translate it into their native languages. Often, these are ordinary believers in Jesus who face arrest for translating the words of Scripture into a heart language others can understand. One female translator from a country hostile to believers in Jesus said, “I must complete this work. I want to see my beloved ones experience salvation in Christ.” And a man who organizes regular citizens to clandestinely translate Scripture explains that the Bible is essential to growing mature believers in local churches: “You can start a church, but . . . [without] the Bible in its heart language, it will typically only last one generation.” Why are they doing this? Because there’s no other book like the Bible. Its preservation through the centuries is unique. Its authenticity and its representation of mankind’s heart is accurate. It’s “alive and active. . . . [and] judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). And “all Scripture is God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16), inspired by Him. And most important, it reveals the source and reality of “salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (v. 15). Let’s read, cherish, and live by the Scriptures. And as God provides, let’s help those around the world receive it and understand it.

In this episode of Theologically Fashioned, we dive deep into the essence of worship. What does it mean to truly worship, and how does our understanding of God, culture, and context shape our worship? Is worship simply about singing songs, praying, or attending service, or is it deeper than that? And, in all this, does God have to accept our worship? What if our heart is in the right place?  Lindsay and I explore biblical examples of worship as we examine questions of acceptance, sincerity, and what it truly means to live a life of worship. Whether you're a long time believer or just exploring the Christian faith, join us as we unpack the heart of worship and it's powerful role in our journey with God.    Lindsay May Instagram: @HeyLindsayMay Instagram: @TheTrulyCo  The Truly Co Magazine

Do you remember that God sought to kill Moses? Why was this? Well, remember from Part 1, that circumcision is kgov.com/the-key. You'll recall that the Old Testament only references circumcision 32 times while the New Testament mentions it 76 times, far more than it references adultery (35x), hell (25x), repentance (66x), Sabbaths (64x), speaking in tongues (29x), confession (29x), and even being born again (3x). Bob begins today's program first, listing the titles of the baby books sold at the despicable Barnes and Noble (see also kgov.com/between-the-covers), and second, praising Israel's retaliation against the terrorists who have fired 3200 rockets at Israel's citizens. Then, he describes why God almost killed Moses, and what had to happen for the future deliverer to survive. TELETHON MONTH: We've got an exciting new announcement! With October being our telethon month, we're looking for 50 new sign-ups for Bob Enyart Subscriptions. These are the best of the best available only at ENYART.SHOP! Please do whatever you can to help us reach our telethon goal of 50 new sign-ups to keep the ministry alive and well!

(Yet we don't have to be!) God gives the topic of circumcision extensive coverage in the New Testament. The Old Testament only references this thirty-two times, while the New Testament mentions it seventy-six times. The New Testament's seventy-six mentions of circumcision far exceed its references to adultery (35x), hell (25x), repentance (66x), Sabbaths (64x), speaking in tongues (29x), confession (29x), or being born again (3x). The Bible refers to the uncircumcised of the nations as Gentiles. Thus, consistent with the New Testament attention on circumcision, the bulkier Old Testament references the word Gentiles only half as often (52x) as does the slimmer New Testament (99x).TELETHON MONTH: We've got an exciting new announcement!

Please do whatever you can to help us reach our telethon goal of 30 new sign-ups to keep the ministry alive and well! Many Christians forget the historical fact that Jesus was circumcised, and many others have no idea why.  Yet this happened strictly according to the Law of Moses on the eighth day after His birth. "And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS..." (Luke 2:21). God gave this command in the Old Testament. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then... on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised'" (Lev. 12:1-3). The law of circumcision prescribed in the Mosaic Law was based on God's covenant with Abraham. For when he was old God appeared and said to him, "This is My covenant which you [Abraham] shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised" (Gen. 17:1, 10-12). Early believers hotly debated circumcision doctrine. Why all the New Testament emphasis on circumcision? Because the material on circumcision, the controversy surrounding it, and the resolution of the debate are fundamental to unwrapping the plot of the Bible. The solution of many of the big doctrinal debates lies in understanding this strange rite given to Abraham. Circumcision is the key!
