In this episode of the Everyday Imperfect podcast, hosts Tabatha and Pastor Jerry Rewis tackle a question many believers quietly wrestle with: Does the Bible version you use really matter? They break down why multiple translations exist, the difference between word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrases, and how language itself impacts the way Scripture is understood — without changing its message.

This episode is especially for anyone who has ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or anxious about choosing the “right” Bible. With pastoral insight and practical clarity, Tabatha and Jerry remind listeners that the goal isn’t perfection, but understanding — and that the best Bible is the one you’ll actually read.
