In this episode, we discuss the significance of scripture in the Christian faith, exploring how personal experiences can sometimes seem to contradict biblical teachings. We emphasize the importance of engaging with scripture not just for knowledge, but for a transformative encounter with God. The conversation also touches on the effectiveness of prayer, the quality versus quantity of Bible reading, and identifying red flags in spiritual practices that may indicate a need for deeper engagement with faith. Our discussion emphasizes the significance of prayer, grace, and the personal journey of faith, encouraging listeners to seek a deeper relationship with God through His Word.

In this episode of the Elect Exiles podcast, we spend time discussing the complexities of evangelism, the balance between truth and personal experience, the importance of scripture, and the role of testimonies. We emphasize that the ultimate goal of evangelism is to glorify God and foster worship, rather than merely making converts. Join us as we explore how evangelism can be integrated into daily life, and how we can encourage each other to approach it with hearts focused on God's glory.
