Join Pastor Travis Hall and his guest, Dr. Joshua Rice, as they talk about the vitality of understanding the context of each scripture we read. Dr. Joshua Rice believes that we see self in scriptures and uses a unique method of teaching the relevance of the latter to his students. This episode is going to be filled with refreshing and essential insights for Christians.

Tune in as they put the spot on the Transformational Truth #9 - When it comes to applying the bible to our lives, any time we take the text out of context, we can be left with a con. There is a number of important stuff to take note of, so make sure to stay with us.

In this episode, you will learn:

· The way a person sees Jesus is the way they see themselves.

· It has become easier to accept the truth passed down to us than to seek it ourselves.

· Dr. Joshua Rice’s simple keys to identifying the proper context of scriptures.

· Why is there a temptation to dismiss the importance of context?

· Advice to leaders who are down the road and want to walk it out.

· …and so much more.
