In this episode of the Living Loved Podcast, Samantha explains a simple but powerful principle for understanding the Bible: before asking what a passage means for us today, we must first understand what it meant to the original audience. By introducing the ideas of exegesis and hermeneutics, she shows how Scripture is God’s communication through real authors to real people in history. When we learn to read the Bible “back then, before right now,” its message becomes clearer, deeper, and far more transformative for our lives.
