What If the Bible Isn’t an Instruction Manual at All?
Most of us were taught to see the Bible as a manual for life. But when we treat its ancient stories like modern step‑by‑step directions, we risk misreading its meaning. In this episode, we wrestle with the tension between timeless truth and historical context — and ask, if the Bible isn’t an instruction manual, what is it?" "You have probably heard the acronym: Bible = Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Many people believe the Bible is exactly that — a universal set of instructions that transcend time and apply instantly to our modern lives. But is that really how Scripture works? In this episode, we unpack where this idea came from, how it shapes the way we read the Bible, and why it might be keeping us from understanding its true purpose."

Join us as we explore the historical and cultural context of Scripture and discover why reducing it to ‘instructions’ could be missing the point entirely."
