#42 | Reading Scripture and Why It Matters (incl. Ask Uncle Brad)

from Created to Be Hosted by FCA at Mississippi State

In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Brandi, and guest co-host Brad Smith continue their What Matters series with a conversation about Scripture and why getting into God’s Word is about so much more than checking a box, finding an answer, or collecting Bible knowledge. They talk about what it looks like to know God—not just know about Him—and how Scripture helps us recognize His voice, understand His character, and grow in relationship with Him. The crew also introduces Ask Uncle Brad, a new segment where Brad brings his wisdom, stories, and life experience to questions from college students. They tackle dating as a freshman, how to lovingly speak truth to a friend in an unhealthy relationship, what makes us “love blind,” and how to recognize maturity in the people we surround ourselves with.
