  • Episode 24 | Relying on God's Word with Andrea Thom
    This season at Compel, we have been remembering why we share the Gospel story. What motivates us to share Christ with the world? We have looked at how His love compels us and how knowing God’s purpose motivates us. Today we are going to be answering the question, “Is God’s Word really the source of truth? Can we trust it?” 

    Andrea Thom, a Canadian author and Bible teacher, shares how we know the Bible is reliable and trustworthy, and briefly on how we got the Bible. We hope you find this conversation as encouraging as we did!

    2 Peter 1:21
