12 Things the Bible Doesn’t Say (But Many Christians Assume It Does)

We talk through 12 common things Christians assume the Bible says, but it actually doesn’t. Not because those ideas are always “bad,” but because confusing Christian culture with Scripture can create unnecessary guilt, fear, and pressure.

Former police officer and pastor Dale Sutherland is joined by Pastor Nate for a grounded conversation covering:

1. The Bible does not say every Christian will feel a “calling” for every decision.

2. The Bible does not say you will have total peace in all circumstances.

3. The Bible does not say your words or thoughts mystically create reality.

4. The Bible does not say every Christian’s destiny is big or public.

5. The Bible does not say you will always enjoy reading the Bible more than everything else.

6. The Bible does not say everything in the world is evil.

7. The Bible does not say all Christians will experience God the same way.

8. The Bible does not say Scripture verses alone cure all anxiety or mental-health struggles.

9. The Bible does not say godly people with faith never get sick.

10. The Bible does not say suffering automatically means God is displeased with you.

11. The Bible does not say faithful believers won’t experience emotional distress.

12. The Bible does not say it’s selfish to pray for your own needs.

If you’ve ever felt like you were “failing” at Christianity because your experience didn’t match what you heard from others — this one is for you.
