Summary
Biblical literacy is in decline—and the consequences are showing. In this episode, I unpack alarming statistics about Bible reading in America and explain why so many Christians struggle to recognize false teaching. We examine the growing influence of Kathryn Krick and discuss how emotional experiences can never replace sound biblical doctrine. I also answer a listener's question about the Scofield Study Bible, compare popular Bible translations by reading level, and share practical advice for choosing a translation you'll actually read and understand. This episode will challenge you to move beyond devotionals and secondary sources and become a student of God's Word. The goal isn't simply to read the Bible more—it's to know God more deeply, discern truth from error, and become a faithful disciple who can help others do the same. Do you want to learn how to interpret your Bible? Join the waitlist for this October's biblical literacy workshop. Listen to Shanda's private Theology Unlocked podcast.
