Have you ever sat in a service and heard a spiritual leader misquote scripture or teach something that just felt… off? What is the full cost when our leaders prioritize charisma over deep, studied understanding of the Bible?
In this powerful episode of True Christ Experience, we unpack a painful story of an “Apostle” who couldn’t pronounce basic biblical terms and interpreted scripture through his own emotional understanding. We break down the three profound dangers of this all-too-common reality: the risk of following false prophets, receiving manipulative teachings, and being locked away from the liberating truth of Christ.
But we don’t stop at the problem. We explore the biblical antidote: what it truly means to “Study to show thyself approved.” We dive into the meaning of Theology (the study of God), Pneuma (being Spirit-led), and Creed (what we believe), tracing the history of the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds and why they were so crucial for the universal—catholic—church.
We also uncover a stunning piece of history: how the medieval church used stained-glass windows and architecture as a “Bible for the illiterate,” and connect it all to the ancient Hebrew concept of Shema—a kind of listening that demands action.
In a world where there are more non-Christians than Christians, the need for biblically sound, historically grounded leadership has never been more urgent. This episode is a call to value substance over hype and to seek shepherds who are unashamed workers, rightly dividing the word of truth.
