In this episode of “Truth Be Told,” I dive deep into a topic that many of us struggle with: “The Bible doesn’t make sense to me.” If you’ve ever found yourself applying logic to scripture and feeling like it just doesn’t add up, this conversation is for you. I address the tension between our human reasoning and the spiritual truths revealed in the Bible.We often seek understanding and identity from sources like ancestors, star signs, sage, or even other people, but can they truly define who we are? In today’s episode, I challenge the notion of allowing anything outside of the Creator to give us our purpose and identity. The truth is, our gifts, purpose, and calling are found in God, and He speaks to us through His Word — the Bible.We also explore the idea that not everything in the Bible is meant to align with human logic because our minds are limited and bound by the physical world. To believe solely in our own intelligence while dismissing the wisdom of the Creator is to overlook the One who designed our minds in the first place.Tune in for a candid conversation on why reading the Bible requires faith beyond human understanding and why it’s essential to look to God, not man, for our true purpose and identity.Let's Connect: www.officialbongegumede.com [Bible Study group, Workout Programs & Blog]YouTube: @bongegumedeInstagram: @bonge.gumedeTiktok: @bongegumedePartnerships: [email protected] or [email protected]

EP 02: Social Media Has Become The New "Bible" - let's talk about it (truth)
In This Episode we get real about the challenges we face as Christians when it comes to truly reading and understanding God’s Word. Too often, we have “selective hearing,” picking out verses that suit us in the moment while ignoring the rest. I explore why this is so dangerous and how it distorts the true message of the Bible.I also share practical steps on how to actually read the Bible—inviting the Holy Spirit, inviting God, and approaching Scripture with an open heart, ready to receive His full truth. We’ll talk about the risks of altering Scripture to fit our personal desires and how laziness in our approach to the Word can hold us back spiritually.And let’s be honest, social media has changed the way we consume the Bible. We’ve become dependent on TikToks and quick snippets for our spiritual food, but that’s a dangerous path. Join me as I unpack why it’s essential to dive into the Bible for ourselves and let God speak to us directly through His Word.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who wants more than just pieces of the Bible—they want the fullness of God’s promises and truth. Let’s learn to embrace all of God’s Word, not just the parts we like.Tune in and let’s go deeper together!Let's Connect: www.officialbongegumede.com [Bible Study group, Workout Programs & Blog]YouTube: @bongegumedeInstagram: @bonge.gumedeTiktok: @bongegumedePartnerships: [email protected] or [email protected]
