Summary

Books can give us information, but they can’t give us the truth. In this episode, Kirk explores why the Bible teaches that truth isn’t just something you study… it’s someone you meet. Discover how real truth flows through a relationship with Jesus, moves from heart to heart, and transforms the way we understand knowledge, faith, and everyday life. Plus, Kirk answers viewer questions about hearing God’s voice, writing with Christian themes, Bible translations, and more.
