#053 It’s Okay to Say “I Don’t Know"

What do you do when you open the Bible and honestly have no idea what a passage means? This week on In the Woods, Pete, Crae, and Sarah talk about wrestling with difficult Scripture, including one of the more challenging sections of Matthew 12. From the unforgivable sin and spiritual warfare to Jesus’ statement that “whoever is not with me is against me,” the conversation explores what it looks like to approach Scripture with humility, curiosity, and a willingness to dig deeper. They also talk about why context matters, why it’s okay to say “I don’t know,” and why struggling to understand Scripture can actually draw us closer to Jesus. The goal isn’t to have every answer. It’s to keep pursuing the One who does. Sarah offers a powerful reminder that difficult passages can be an invitation rather than a reason to give up. Scripture has a depth we will never exhaust, and God continues to draw us deeper as we pursue Him. Plus, we look ahead to Vision Sunday, celebrate what God is doing at Woodland, and talk about our upcoming church-wide baptism celebration! Wherever you are in your understanding of Scripture, keep digging. Keep asking questions. Keep pursuing Jesus. There is always more treasure to find.
