Why do Christians who read the same Bible often end up with completely different beliefs?

It usually comes down to something most people have never even heard of: prolegomena—how we approach Scripture before we even start reading it.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Potter joins me to unpack why our view of the Bible, truth, and language shapes everything we believe. We’ll explore:

Why two people can read the same verse and come to opposite conclusions

What “prolegomena” really means and why it matters

How your starting point determines your theology

If you’ve ever wondered why Christians disagree so much, this conversation goes back to the foundations.
