Does your church teach you how to interpret the Bible? Sadly, many Christians never learn the tools to read Scripture well, and that leads to all kinds of confusion about theology. But how can we know if we’re handling God’s Word the right way?
This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Mike Winger, a former pastor turned popular YouTuber, who's dedicated his channel to helping Christians understand the Scriptures. In this episode, Mike shares what led him to take his ministry online and explains the five core principles he uses when studying the Bible—principles many churches don’t talk about, but every believer should know! During their conversation, Frank and Mike will dive into questions like:
- Why do some churches seem to avoid the topic of how to interpret the Bible?
- What are some commonly misinterpreted verses in the Bible?
- What does it mean to "turn the other cheek"?
- How can you avoid reading your presuppositions into the Bible?
- Were Jesus' brothers really his cousins?
- What’s the real context of Matthew 7 (“Don’t judge”) and Matthew 5 (“Eye for an eye”)?
- Why is understanding proper word usage so important?
- How has Bart Ehrman misled people about the Gospel of Mark?
- What's one thing that makes the Gospel of Mark so unique?
- Why does Mike feel compelled to call out false teachers?
