Have you ever asked yourself, "What Bible Translation should I read?"... Join us as we chat with Tim Wildsmith, a pastor with a passion for making sense of the more than 400 English Bible translations out there.

You'll gain a whole new perspective on how to choose a translation that resonates with you. Tim breaks down the various translation philosophies and the historical context that has influenced these versions. We'll walk through the enduring legacy of translations like the King James Version and how modern counterparts like the NIV and "The Message" offer fresh perspectives.

Whether you're a seasoned scripture reader or just starting, understanding these nuances can profoundly impact your study habits and spiritual growth. His insights are not just informative—they're transformational, as he guides us through the labyrinth of translation philosophies, textual bases, and the historical milestones that have shaped the way we read scripture today.
