What if the Bible’s most dangerous distortions don’t come from bad intentions, but from skipping its preface?
Many people experience faith as exhausting. Commandments feel heavy. Scripture feels fragmented. And belief slowly collapses into rules.
This conversation challenges a core assumption: that the Bible explains itself from page one.
Without a restored frame of identity—without knowing who you are before being told what to do—the Bible can be misunderstood, misused, and even weaponized.
This episode reframes the Old Testament through a single, often-overlooked key that changes how scripture reads, how God is understood, and why faith so often turns into burnout.
If you’ve ever felt tension between obedience and relationship, this conversation may change how you read everything that comes next.
