This week Josh is joined by Faith Womack, a self-proclaimed Bible nerd and author of the new book No More Boring Bible Study, to talk about why so many Christians struggle with Scripture…and why misunderstanding the Bible can be far more dangerous than we realize. Faith shares the very personal story of how her father’s habit of cherry-picking verses shaped (and shook) her early understanding of God — and how discovering a faithful hermeneutic at college completely transformed her relationship with Scripture.✅ No More Boring Bible Study by Faith Womack – Available on Amazon✅ Faith’s youtube channel – @bibleNerdMinistries✅ Join the “Memorize What Matters” Newsletter – biblememorygoal.com/newsletter00:00 – Intro01:05 – When Scripture Gets Misused & Discovering a Bigger God05:37 – Hermeneutics 101: How to Read the Bible Faithfully12:26 – How to Study & Memorize Scripture the Right Way🔹SUPPORT the MINISTRY 🔹If you're one of those awesome people who understands that this "free" podcast takes time and effort to produce, there are a few ways that you can support what we're doing here:Buy the Merch!
