Summary

What does it mean to read the Bible as spiritual self-help and why is it a mistake? When we read the Bible as spiritual self-help, then we approach it as a tool that helps us become a better version of ourselves rather than as the Word of God that should completely transform our lives. We chat all about how to spot when you’re making this mistake and how to avoid it in this episode!

Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and timeless. And we want

0:17.6

to help women like you. No and love God's Word. The Bible shows us who God is and who

0:24.7

He is, changes everything. My name is Shelby and I'm Crystal. And we want to invite you to come

0:31.2

join us as we chat about the truth of God's Word in our everyday lives. Hey everybody and welcome

0:37.6

back to our summer series, Mistakes We've Made in Bible Studies. We're having so much fun talking

0:43.1

about all the times we've gotten it wrong. Surprisingly. I'm not sure if everyone said that

0:47.3

sentence before. But we're back today to talk about another mistake that we've made many, many times.

0:52.4

But first we are going to do favorite things and we're doing them in 15 seconds or less because

0:57.2

we're trying to keep these episodes short for you so you can listen on the go in the summer. So I

1:01.7

have my 15 second timer. Crystal, are you ready? Yes. Okay. On your mark. Get set, go.

1:09.2

Okay. My favorite thing is the Ticardab Bible app. It's $5 a month. Be of access to 150 different

1:26.1

watching the time. I don't know what that app was. When you mentioned it just a second ago, I asked

1:31.2

you if it was like a clothing app where I could find cute outfits. No, not quite. It's not. It's the

1:36.0

Bible. It's a little different. Better. Yes. Better. Okay. Yes. Okay. Are you ready? I am ready.

1:42.0

What is your favorite thing in? Go. My favorite thing, no shock, is a book I'm reading. It's called

1:47.9

Never Split the Difference Negotiating as if your life depended upon it. It's written by a former

1:54.1

international FBI hostage negotiator. And it's so fascinating and super helpful.

2:00.3

Oh, I didn't think you were going to make it. You did because that title is a law. I know. But I need

2:04.4

five more seconds. I need to clarify what I'm negotiating. Okay. Go ahead. It's bedtime with my five.
