Unlock Fifteen: The Bible Invites Surrender (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've spent this series learning how to read the Bible: understanding its big story, its genres, its historical context, and how to apply it to our lives. But eventually, reading the Bible brings us to one, heart-level question: Do I actually trust God enough to submit to what he says? In this final episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we talk about the tension that happens when God's Word presses against our preferences, our culture, and our understanding of what is right. Who gets the fi
Unlock Fourteen: How To Wrestle with the Bible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do you do when the Bible says something you don't understand, or something you really don't like? Sometimes our hardest questions aren't intellectual; they press against our culture, our experiences, or what we desperately want to be true. And when those questions aren't taken seriously, it's easy to start wondering whether we can trust God at all.

Read excerpt

Unlock Twelve: How to Pray the Bible (opens the original)

Together, they discuss why so many of us struggle with distracted, repetitive, or self-centered prayers, how the Bible gives us the language to pray God's heart, and several practical ways to begin praying through Scripture. Whether you've never known what to s
Unlock Eleven: How Do I Actually Apply the Bible? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Too often, we walk away from the Bible with more knowledge but very little change. But God's Word wasn't given simply to inform us; it was given to transform us. In this eleventh episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore one of the most practical skills every Bible reader needs: how to faithfully apply God's Word. Along the way, we unpack common mistakes that can lead to misapplication before introducing a simple four-part framework that helps move the Bible from something you know t
