Episode notes
Puzzle Moment That Flipped The View
- Emma recounts struggling with a 1,000-piece puzzle during a Texas snowpocalypse until a roommate pointed out it was upside down.
- That moment flipped her perspective and made the scattered pieces cohere into a clear picture.

- Stephen flips Israel's story to show all Old Testament pieces form one clear image: Jesus.
- The Bible isn't disconnected stories but a unified narrative revealed in Christ.

- Religious knowledge can mask missing the Bible's central point: seeing Christ rather than just rules.
- Memorizing scripture pieces risks treating the Bible as moral advice instead of a unified story.
