Why does reading the Bible in context matter so much? In this episode, I talk about why verses get misinterpreted when we pull them out of their setting and how understanding the surrounding passage, the history, and the bigger story of Scripture helps us read God’s Word accurately. I walk through examples like Philippians 4:13 and Jeremiah 29:11 and explain what Paul meant when he called us to “rightly handle the word of truth” in 2 Timothy 2:15. This is part of the How to Study the Bible for Yourself series, where we’re building a foundation for deep, personal Bible study that leads to real transformation.
