Episode notes
Rethinking Prayer
- Pray not as a petition to a cosmic butler, but as quiet contemplation.
- Seek God's presence and self-reflection rather than specific outcomes.
Marriage and Covenant
- Marriage isn't explicitly called a covenant in the Bible; "cleaving" doesn't necessitate a covenant.
- The concept of "covenant" carries specific biblical weight, mainly in political and divine contexts.
Bible Study for Everyone
- Don't feel pressured to become a scholar to understand the Bible; find joy in learning.
- Explore good study Bibles and other resources that make scholarly insights accessible.
