Ever slapped Jeremiah 29:11 on a yearbook? Same. In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh take a walk through five of the most commonly misused Bible verses.

What did Jesus really mean by “Judge not?” (Matthew 7:1). What does “Where two or three are gathered” (Matthew 18:20) actually mean? Is “I can do all things” (Philippians 4:13) actually about crushing your goals? Turns out Jeremiah 29:11 and the “love chapter” (1 Corinthians 13), are not what you thought they meant.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Are we reading this right?” this episode is for you.

Am I really going to heaven? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh dive into what the Bible actually says about assurance of salvation, and why so many of us still feel uncertain.

They look at different Christian views on the sinner’s prayer and baptism, discuss seasons of doubt, and explain why real confidence doesn’t come from our performance, but from Christ’s finished work. With Scriptures like John 10, Galatians 4, and Matthew 7, they tackle tough issues like famous “Lord, Lord” verse, and false assurance. Showing how trust in Jesus (not our good works) is the foundation of our hope.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “good enough” for Heaven, or worried you could lose your salvation, this conversation is for you.

Are you really under spiritual attack—or is it just “one of those days”? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, we tackle a big question from a listener: “How can you tell the difference between a genuine spiritual attack and your own thoughts, choices, or circumstances?”

They unpack what the Bible says about the world, the flesh, and the devil. They walk through examples where everyday struggles like pride, unforgiveness, sexual temptation, or even a bad day can have a spiritual component.

You’ll hear how Christians often either over-spiritualize everything saying “the devil made me do it,” or under-spiritualize life “it’s all just me,’ and how to find a biblical middle ground. Drawing from passages like Ephesians 2, Job, and the story of Judas, the guys remind us that while the enemy is real, Christ’s authority is greater, and our primary response in any trial is simple: cling to Jesus and stay faithful.
