Getting Back To The Source

Ty dives into the truth behind “cultural add-ons” in Christianity—traditions and sayings many people treat as biblical, even though they’re not actually found in scripture. From Easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny to Santa Claus and common Bible misquotes, the conversation breaks down how these ideas can blur the line between culture and truth—especially for younger believers. Ty explains why relying on secondhand interpretations can lead to confusion and even manipulation, and emphasizes the importance of going straight to the source. He shares his personal journey of reading scripture daily, starting with the Book of James, and how chapter-by-chapter challenges have deepened his understanding. Along the way, he highlights key lessons from Proverbs, Genesis, and Mark that have shaped his mindset and spiritual discipline. Using a relatable analogy—learning from the source vs. riding in a Waymo instead of an Uber—this episode encourages listeners to take ownership of their faith, build real understanding, and stop relying on surface-level knowledge.
