3 Tips for Bible Study in a Post-truth World

In a world shaped by emotion, stories, and confirmation bias, faithful Bible study requires humility, patience, and a willingness to be corrected by the text. This episode offers three practical tips for approaching Scripture with discernment, testing our interpretations carefully, and learning not only what we believe, but why we believe it. In this week’s episode, we explore: Why “post-truth” thinking can influence how we hear sermons and study Scripture  How confirmation bias can keep us from considering better interpretations  Why good Bible study asks hard questions about the author’s original intent  The difference between confirming a favorite theory and testing it against rival explanations  Why consulting more than one commentary can sharpen our understanding  How humility helps us hold our conclusions with both conviction and teachability After listening, you’ll be encouraged to approach Scripture with greater care, curiosity, and honesty. You’ll learn how to ask better questions, evaluate interpretations more thoughtfully, and grow in confidence—not because you have protected your favorite answers, but because you have tested them in pursuit of the truth.Bible Study 101Most people fail at Bible study because no one ever taught them how.
