Bible Misinterpretation: How to Avoid It and Not Be Afraid of It w/Elizabeth Woodson

In today’s episode, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson shows us some helpful places to start when it comes to Bible study! She talks about ways we can study in order to avoid major interpretation traps as well as the heart behind why we study. We shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes in our study of Scripture. (Because we will make mistakes!) Instead, we should let it draw us closer to the Lord, relying on the Spirit to help us as we learn biblical truths. If you want to grow in your ability to rightly handle the Word of God, then you won’t want to miss this conversation!

The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show. We believe it is valuable to hear from a variety of guests, even if we do not agree in all areas. As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.
