Wait a minute — that’s not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and Integrated host Dr. John Crotts steps in as guest host to help you move from simply knowing your Bible to actually using it in everyday life.



Segment 1:



• Knowing Scripture isn’t the goal—using it to shape your thinking is.



• False teaching thrives when churches aren’t equipped; believers need to minister, not just pastors.



• Ephesians 4: we mature by speaking truth in love, not by outsourcing ministry.



Segment 2:



• God’s Word revives, gives wisdom, and produces joy—but only if you’re reading it regularly.



• Build daily Bible habits: set a plan, pick a place, and keep showing up.



• Small consistent steps create massive long-term spiritual growth.



Segment 3:



• Bible knowledge isn’t trivia—it’s functional: learn the storyline, genres, and historical context.



• Big picture understanding gives depth to daily reading and real-life application.



• Knowing how the Bible fits together helps you obey it, not just admire it.



Segment 4:



• Use tools: concordance, chapter summaries, and group study to deepen understanding.



• Apply Scripture to your personal struggles and current crises to grow spiritual muscle.



• Church is for equipping each other—learning truth together sharpens everyone’s walk.
