Summary

Segment 1

• John Crotts is our guest host today!

• Political insanity? Scripture anchors you when politics and chaos can’t.

• Underfed Christians are easy targets for deception.

Segment 2

• God’s Word informs — and it gives joy, strengthens resolve, and imparts wisdom you can’t buy.

• The secret is consistency: one Bible, one place, one plan, every day.

• Our spiritual growth compounds from daily Scripture exposure.

Segment 3

• Knowing the Bible is about transformation, not just information.

• Reading scripture in context is what gives us true understanding.

• Your faith grows faster when you see the comprehensive story of the entire Bible.

Segment 4

• Scripture comes alive when you learn historical and cultural context.

• Study tools aren’t cheating; they’re strength training for your faith.

• The more Bible you know, the more useful you become to Christ and others.
