Episode notes
Scriptures as Encounter Places
- Scriptures are not just texts, but places where we meet the Lord.
- They open our minds and hearts to ask questions and receive revelation.
Receiving Builds Revelation
- To receive spiritually means to accept and cherish, not just to hear or take.
- The Lord gives more revelation abundantly to those prepared to receive.
TARDIS as Spiritual Metaphor
- The TARDIS in Doctor Who looks small outside but is bigger on the inside.
- This is like parables and scripture: more depth appears when you have faith to receive.
