The Knowledge Gap — When Biblical Learning Misses Christ

Send us a text

In this episode, Jonathan and Jacob explore The Knowledge Gap—a subtle but dangerous pitfall where the pursuit of biblical knowledge becomes disconnected from the person of Christ.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1, John 5, and 2 Timothy, we examine how Scripture warns against using God’s Word as an intellectual trophy rather than a path to intimacy with Him. From Pharisees who searched the Scriptures but missed the Messiah, to modern believers accumulating teachers that affirm their desires, we confront the reality that not all knowledge is godly wisdom.

🔹 Topics covered:

• God's wisdom vs. man’s intellect (1 Corinthians 1:18–31)
• Scripture without Jesus leads to spiritual blindness (John 5:39–40)
• The rise of "itching ears" and self-serving teachers (2 Timothy 4:3–5)
• Knowledge that puffs up instead of builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1–3)
• The end-times epidemic of “always learning, never knowing” (2 Timothy 3:1–9)
• The deceptive legacy of Jannes and Jambres—spiritual power without truth

Ultimately, this episode is a call back to the person of Jesus—not just facts about Him. True wisdom isn’t about mastering doctrine, but being mastered by Christ.

Don’t just study the Word—come to the One it reveals.
