Why Truth in the Text?
This blog was born out of a passion to bridge the gap between the academic study of Scripture and practical, everyday application. Too often, we hear Bible verses misinterpreted or theology oversimplified. Here, we’re committed to truth—truth that is rooted in Scripture and revealed in the text itself.
​
We’ll tackle the big questions:
-
How do I read the Bible without getting overwhelmed?
-
How can I teach or lead others in a way that’s faithful to Scripture?
-
What does it mean to study the Bible exegetically instead of reading into it?
