What if everything you thought you knew about the Bible’s structure was making it harder to understand God’s story? Pastor, author, and Bible engagement architect Randy Frazee joins host Robert on Refining Rhetoric to discuss why so many Christians鈥攅ven those in Bible-believing churches鈥攃an’t articulate the basic narrative of Scripture. The problem isn’t a lack of commitment; it’s how the Bible is organized.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 Why chronological Bible reading changes everything (and how The Story makes it accessible)
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 What really happens after you die鈥攁nd why most Christians have it backwards
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 The surprising biblical truth: heaven isn’t the final destination (hint: read Revelation 21-22)
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 Why the Garden of Eden matters for understanding eternity on the new earth
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 How Paul wrote the ultimate treatise on joy… from prison
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 The neuroscience that validates ancient biblical wisdom about depression and anxiety
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 Why gratitude is the #1 weapon against worry (backed by both Philippians and brain science)
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 The loneliness epidemic destroying Americans鈥攁nd how proximity creates real community
- 路聽聽聽聽聽聽 Practical ways homeschoolers can combat isolation and build deeper connections
Randy brings decades of pastoral wisdom, research-backed insights, and a refreshing perspective on biblical literacy. From explaining why Psalm 51 should be read right after 2 Samuel 11 (David’s confession after his fall with Bathsheba) to unpacking why we’ll still struggle at golf in the new kingdom (yes, really), this conversation bridges ancient truth and modern science.
