Welcome back to 'Three Chicks in the Bible,' where we roll up our sleeves to tackle the tough issues in scripture. In this episode, we dive into the critical question of why many people don’t trust the Bible anymore. We explore several perspectives including scientific mismatches, historical context, personal comfort zones, and abuses of scripture to understand the real barriers. We emphasize the importance of biblical literacy, context, and humility in discussing the Word of God. How can believers approach those who have been hurt by misuses of scripture? Join us as we navigate these complex conversations with the intent to encourage, uplift, and seek truth together.
