A Contextual View Of The Bible w/ Dr Matthew Hester
Round 2 is here, and this time it’s face-to-face.
Johnny Ova sits down in person with Dr. Matthew Hester right here in New York for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about faith, Scripture, and what it means to follow Jesus with both heart and mind. This episode picks up where their first conversation left off, but takes an even deeper dive into one of the most foundational questions for believers today: Can we trust the Bible?
They tackle topics that many Christians quietly wonder about but don’t always feel safe enough to voice. Are there contradictions or errors in Scripture? What happens to our faith if we admit those things? Does understanding context, history, and culture change how we read the Word of God?
Throughout the conversation, Johnny and Dr. Hester affirm something powerful. Critical thinking and deep faith are not enemies. As Christian leaders and followers of Christ, it is not only okay to ask bold questions, it is essential. Wrestling with the tough stuff doesn’t weaken your faith. It strengthens it.
This is an invitation to the table. To lean in. To explore. To rediscover how a deeper understanding of Scripture can actually bring you closer to Jesus, not further away.
We would love to hear your thoughts, your questions, and your experiences. Jump into the conversation with us.
