I am not a Bible scholar by any means, just a typical layperson who feels the days are getting short and who wants to know the Lord better than I have before and hopefully equip myself (by the grace and leading of the Holy Spirit) to better make Him known. This blog will just be my personal take on what I read, not meant to be anything more. Sometimes a passage of Scripture just leaps out at me, sometimes it leaves me scratching my head and going “huh?”

Besides my own church, I listen to some Bible teachers and apologists on Youtube I think are very good: Mike Winger (@MikeWinger), Jack Hibbs (@RealLifeJackHibbs), David Wood (@apologeticsroadshow), Melissa Dougherty (@MelissaDougherty), Growing in the Gospel (@pastorcaryschmidt).

I am so thankful for good teachers, but I always go back to Scripture and read it for myself instead of just taking anybody’s word for anything. We all need to be like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, who “received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
