Wrestling with the Word: Forming Opinions through Scripture in a Divided World | The Branch

What does it really mean to “use the Bible” when forming our views on today’s most complex and controversial issues? In this episode, we ask hard questions about how scripture shapes our opinions—and whether we’re letting it lead or using it to reinforce what we already think. From immigration to AI, gun laws to government spending, we explore how to navigate cultural debates with biblical integrity, humility, and discernment. We’ll also dig into real-life examples of how scripture has been misused throughout history, and how Christians today can better reflect Jesus’ heart in divided times.Whether you're tired of tribalism or just unsure how to think biblically about current events, this episode will give you practical tools—and a lot to wrestle with.
