Episode 53 - Has the Bible Become Your Idol?

In this episode, we dive into one of the most thought-provoking questions in modern faith. We explore how devotion to Scripture can sometimes replace a living relationship with the Divine, and how even something sacred can become an idol when it’s placed above love, intuition, and the teachings of Jesus.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The surprising history of biblical inerrancy and how it became a modern doctrine
• Signs of idolatry - when faith becomes rigid, judgmental, or fear-based
• What a balanced, spiritually alive relationship with Scripture looks like
• How historical context and translation have shaped our understanding of the Bible
• Our personal experiences breaking free from dogma and rediscovering divine connection

This conversation isn’t about rejecting Scripture-it’s about reclaiming it as a beautiful, useful resource that leads us back to the love and teachings of Jesus. We invite you to move from fear to freedom, from literalism to living wisdom, and from blind belief to embodied faith.
