"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" James 1:22 ESV.

We've reached the close of our 3-2-1 Bible Study Method series, and the topic of the episode is APPLICATION. The goal isn't to master the Bible but for the Bible to master us. Once we've done the work of observation and interpretation, it's time to apply what we've learned.

In this episode, we're looking at three phases of application: the message to the original audience, the universal principles, and the personal applications. A simple way of remembering these phases is THEN, ALWAYS, NOW.

We also discuss a fourth lens to the interpretive process: the effect of Fear and Joy Bonds with God. And we work through two examples from the Bible as well as offer some next steps for your Bible Study journey.

 Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!
