In this podcast episode, TJ & wes discuss their perceptions of bible study and how each of their interactions with scripture has changed over time as they grew in their Christian faith. They question the common empirical approach to scripture and encourage a relational perspective, viewing the Bible within a devotional context. Their conversation covers their earlier years of studying the Bible, where they often approached it as a validation tool, weapon for spiritual arguments, rather than connecting with it relationally, and how this mindset shift enriched their spiritual experiences. They encourage listeners to treat it as a living entity, allowing it to speak personally and differently each time it's read. They emphasize active meditation on scriptures, even suggesting that memorizing and reflecting smaller biblical passages throughout the day as a valuable practice. They conclude the discussion by challenging the pressure Christians often put on themselves to have in-depth theological knowledge and argue for a focus on personal, transformative experiences with God's word.
