About this listen

In Part 4 of our How to Study the Bible series, we dive into one of the most important principles of biblical interpretation: context. It’s easy to take a verse and make it say what we want—but true Bible study requires us to understand what God actually meant.

In this episode, Dillon and Pastor Drew break down how to study Scripture by looking at:

  • The immediate context (verses around a passage)
  • The chapter context (the flow and theme of a chapter)
  • The book context (the purpose and message of the entire book)

We also discuss why Scripture should shape our beliefs—not the other way around—and how to avoid common mistakes like cherry-picking verses or reading the Bible superficially.

Whether you’re new to Bible study or looking to go deeper, this episode will help you read Scripture more faithfully, clearly, and confidently.
