What would happen if we stopped overcomplicating faith… and just opened our Bibles?

In this episode, Brian and Lauren discuss a TikToker who has started a Bible reading journey and is being refreshingly honest about the experience with millions of followers online. No polished theology. No curated church answers. Just real-time reactions, questions, confusion, curiosity — and a willingness to read what’s actually there.

It got us wondering: what would change about our faith if we approached Scripture the same way?

We discuss:

Why simple Bible reading can feel revolutionary

How familiarity sometimes dulls our sense of awe

The difference between reading Scripture devotionally vs. culturally

What honesty does for spiritual growth

Whether we’ve made the Bible more complicated than it needs to be

Sometimes the most spiritual advice isn’t complex. It’s just this: open it.
