102. You Keep Using That Verse. I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.
Description
What’s your favorite scripture passage?
Most normal people have never asked or been asked that. But the IFB circles I grew up in treated that question like a spiritual personality test. You were expected to have one of 31,000+ Bible verses chosen to define your entire life, memorized by heart, and ready to share on demand.
This week, Janna joins us to trace where that strange tradition came from and ask whether a single decontextualized verse can (or should) guide anything. Plus, we break down several life verses preachers wrote in my own Bible—and why they don’t mean what they were sold as.
