In this lively conversation, the hosts dive into biblical interpretation, exploring whether the Bible should be read literally, figuratively, or somewhere in between. From dissecting Old Testament narratives to decoding Jesus’ parables, this episode tackles the complexity of engaging with scripture thoughtfully. The trio explores questions like:

• Are some Bible verses metaphors?
• How should we interpret the flood in Noah’s story?
• Does every miracle need to be taken as historical fact?

The hosts also break down different interpretive frameworks—such as historical-grammatical vs. allegorical interpretations—to help listeners better understand how to read and apply the Bible. Plus, they offer practical advice on tools to enhance personal study, including study Bibles and online resources.
