Is your faith grounded in God’s Word—or shaped by cultural and personal preferences?
In this episode of PREPPED, join us as host James Spencer, PhD, explores what it means to pursue a faith truly anchored in Scripture. As cultural narratives grow louder and personal biases become harder to spot, Dr. Spencer invites us to confront the subtle ways these influences can distort our understanding of the Bible.
Through thoughtful storytelling and by drawing on a wealth of theological insight, this episode examines the dangers of selective reading, the importance of sound discipleship, and the role of Scripture in shaping our views on everything from morality to politics. We invite you to evaluate your beliefs, wrestle with difficult passages, and consider how to return to God-breathed Scripture as your primary authority.
