The Parts of the Bible Nobody Wants to Talk About

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re wrestling with one of the biggest questions people have about faith: Can I really trust the Bible? What do we do with verses that feel outdated, offensive, or just hard to understand? From Old Testament laws to passages about women, slavery, and violence, we’re unpacking how to read Scripture when it doesn’t seem to line up with our culture—or even with our own sense of right and wrong. We dive into why context matters, how to tell the difference between what the Bible describes and what it prescribes, and why interpretation is more than “just your opinion.” Along the way, we talk about why the Bible still speaks with authority today, how to handle the tension between cultural questions and eternal truth, and why every page of Scripture is meant to lead us to Jesus. Whether you’ve been studying the Bible for years or are just starting to explore faith, this conversation will help you approach God’s Word with honesty, humility, and confidence. The Bible isn’t outdated or irrelevant—it’s an invitation to know God more deeply, even in the parts that challenge us most.
