Many christians feel unequipped to handle the hard questions—especially when it comes to the Old Testament. Why does God seem so angry? Did He really command entire crowds to be destroyed? In this episode, Chris Hilkin opens a new teaching series by offering simple, powerful tools for reading Scripture faithfully. He walks through how to understand difficult passages, avoid common interpretation mistakes, and confidently answering the kinds of questions people might ask about God’s character in the Bible. What You’ll Learn: Why we must use clear Scripture to interpret confusing passages How to distinguish between biblical description and prescription Why not every story in the Bible teaches a moral or doctrine How context, authorship, and genre shape proper understanding Common interpretation errors that lead to misunderstanding God’s character Why Jesus must be the hero of every biblical narrative 📖 Scripture References : Psalm 82 vs. Isaiah 44 & Deuteronomy 6 Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus – laws about slavery, justice, and culture 1 Samuel 15, Job 1:21, Romans 13 John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8–9 Deuteronomy 6:4–6 – The Shema Galatians 3, Philippians 2, Isaiah 61 Resources & Links : Podcast sponsor-Range Leather Use code DADTIRED at rangeleather.com/dadtired for 15% off custom hats Email for Notes:
