Have you ever pulled a favorite verse—like Jeremiah 29:11—out of context and claimed it as a personal promise? You’re not alone. In this episode, we expose the #1 mistake believers make in Bible study: treating verses in isolation. Discover how God’s message to Israel in exile reveals His faithfulness in hardship, not quick fixes for success. With a simple “co-text” method, you’ll learn to read before and after a passage, unlock deeper meaning, and grow in confidence that Scripture is for you—even when it’s not about you.
