Do Christians Follow the Bible—or Just the Parts They Like? | Stoop Theology S1 Ep2  Christians are often accused of picking and choosing which Bible commands to follow. In this episode of Stoop Theology, we ask whether that’s hypocrisy—or whether Jesus actually changes how the Bible is meant to be read. From Old Testament laws to New Testament faith, we explore why Christianity isn’t selective—it’s Christ-centered.   Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.  Hosted by Jordan Rice
