... Why Scripture Was Never Meant to Be Just Information

The Bible wasn't written to simply be understood, it was written to transform you.

In Conversation No. 043, I sit down with Brad and Shelby Ulrich for a conversation about rediscovering God's Word in a way that feels personal, practical, and alive. Together, we unpack the Inductive Bible Study method, a simple but powerful framework that's helping people move beyond surface-level reading and into a genuine relationship with Scripture.

We talk about why context matters, how asking better questions can unlock deeper truth, and what it looks like to approach the Bible with curiosity instead of intimidation. Brad shares how this approach completely changed his walk with Christ, while Shelby explains how it awakened a new level of creativity and connection in her own faith.

Whether you've been reading the Bible for decades or you're opening it for the very first time, this conversation offers practical tools to help you hear God's voice with greater clarity and confidence.

🎙 This episode is a reminder: the goal isn't to finish reading the Bible—it's to let the Bible reshape you.
