Episode Synopsis

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, we dive into the real reasons behind reading Scripture — not out of obligation, guilt, or religious duty, but as a response to love, truth, and connection with God. Is the Bible divine? Maybe. Is it human? Certainly. But what if reading the Bible brings a smile to the face of its Author? What if it’s less about self-improvement and more about relationship — with God, with others, and even with a world starving for spiritual substance? Through a passionate, verse-by-verse meditation on Psalm 16, this episode explores how Scripture engages your emotions, intellect, and spirit. We discuss the idea of reading not for self, but for God and others — even for those wandering in spiritual famine. Along the way, we unpack why purity, preservation, purpose, and divine presence are not abstract ideas but tangible realities in the life of a believer. Raw. Honest. Poetic. Challenging. Whether you're a skeptic, seeker, or someone who just needs to hear that God is not afraid of your emotions, this is a journey worth taking.
