Unpacking What it Looks Like to Abide in God's Word

In this powerful episode, Brody sits down with Rob Conti to dive deep into the concept of Abiding in God’s Word.
Rob shares insights from his College Retreat Breakout session and reflects on the transformative power of Scripture in our lives. As they unpack the importance of fighting against idols, sin, and ideologies, they discuss how the Word of God equips us for spiritual warfare-helping us take down the strongholds of false beliefs and harmful ideologies in our hearts and minds.
Bullet Points from Rob's notes:
Pray for Understanding: Ask God for wisdom and obedience.
Read and Reread: Understand what the Bible says, means, and how it applies.
Know the Context: Consider the background and literary style of the passage.
Ask Questions: Who, what, where, why, when? Dig deeper.
Use Tools: Check study Bibles, commentaries, and different translations.
Avoid Bias: Don’t let personal views twist the meaning.
Understand the Genre: Know if it’s a story or teaching.
Look for Themes: Focus on key ideas like faith, redemption, or God’s character.
Apply It: See how it speaks to your life-commands, promises, or warnings.
Focus on Jesus: Every passage points to His redemptive work.
Seek Help: Ask pastors or trusted believers for clarity.
Reflect and Apply: Meditate on what you’ve learned and share it.
