The Rooted Truth Podcast 191 — The Fulfilled Words of Jesus: How to Interpret Scripture Using the 5 W’s with Dr. Cindye Coates
In this episode, Dr. Cindye Coates joins Jenny to talk about one of the most practical tools for reading Scripture faithfully—the 5 W’s of Bible interpretation. Together Cindye walks us through who, what, when, where, and why these questions matter, and shows how asking them turns confusing or overwhelming passages into clear, life-giving truth.
Cindye then applies the 5 W’s directly to prophecy, including how Jesus fulfilled Matthew 24, and shares how this approach clears up common misunderstandings in eschatology.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your Bible reading or wanted a simple way to dig deeper without getting lost in opinions, this conversation is for you. Expect encouragement, fresh insight, and a renewed love for God’s Word!
