In Episode 3 of our BUILT series, we explore how God's Word forms a strong foundation for the Christian life.

Using Psalm 1 as our guide, we discover that spiritual growth is often more like growing deep roots than achieving instant results. Just as a tree planted by streams of water can endure seasons of drought, followers of Jesus develop strength and stability when they are rooted in Scripture.

But the goal of reading the Bible is not simply gaining information. Jesus reminds us in John 5 that the Scriptures ultimately point to Him. The purpose of God's Word is to help us know Christ, hear His voice, and become more like Him.

In this episode, Pastor Evan Ryder discusses why Scripture is essential for spiritual formation, how God's Word shapes our character over time, and practical ways to develop a consistent habit of engaging with the Bible.

If storms reveal our foundation, then God's Word is one of the primary ways God strengthens that foundation before the storm arrives.
