Episode 6: Is Your Bible Perfect?

What if one of the most common assumptions Christians make about the Bible isn't actually what the Bible says about itself?

In this episode, Jared and Bill tackle one of the most sensitive topics in modern evangelicalism: biblical inerrancy.

What does it mean when Christians say the Bible is "without error"? Where did that belief come from? And what happens when a pastor begins asking questions about it?

Jared shares why he believes Christians should have confidence in Scripture while also recognizing the realities of translation, transmission, and textual history. Together, Jared and Bill explore the difference between believing the Bible is inspired by God and believing every word in every modern translation is flawless.

Along the way, they discuss:

• What "inerrancy" actually means

• Why the doctrine is relatively recent in church history

• The original biblical manuscripts, and why we no longer have them

• What "God-breathed" means in 2 Timothy 3:16

• Translation challenges between Hebrew, Greek, and English

• Why some pastors risk criticism simply for discussing these questions

• Whether faith depends on having a perfect Bible

• How Christians can trust Scripture without ignoring its complexities

This conversation isn't an attack on the Bible.

It's a conversation about how we understand the Bible, how we read it faithfully, and why asking honest questions shouldn't be considered a threat to faith.

Because sometimes the strongest faith isn't afraid of difficult questions.

What happens when pastors ask questions they're not supposed to ask?

In this episode of You've Heard It Said, Jared and Bill tackle one of the most controversial subjects in modern Christianity: LGBTQ issues and the church's response. Why has this topic become such a defining issue in evangelical circles? Why do some questions feel off-limits? And why can a pastor's career be put at risk simply for having the conversation?

Rather than offering easy answers, Jared and Bill explore the tension between biblical conviction, cultural change, grace, truth, and the challenge of loving real people while wrestling with difficult questions.

This is not a debate. It's an honest conversation about faith, Scripture, church culture, and what happens when asking questions becomes risky.

What happens when two Christians sit down and make a list of the topics they’re probably not supposed to discuss in public?

In this episode of You’ve Heard It Said…, Jared and Bill pull back the curtain and reveal the conversations they hope to tackle in future episodes. What starts as a simple brainstorming session quickly turns into a roadmap of some of the biggest questions facing the Church today.

From biblical inerrancy and the role of women in ministry to LGBTQ issues, Christian nationalism, hell, prosperity theology, climate change, COVID, and the future of faith in America, nothing is off the table.

Along the way, Jared shares the caution he received from another pastor before starting the podcast: “Sounds great. Don’t get fired.”

The result is a candid conversation about why these topics matter, why Christians often avoid them, and why honest dialogue may be more important than ever.

In this episode:
• Biblical inerrancy and how Christians read Scripture
• LGBTQ questions and the Church’s response
• COVID and its impact on faith communities
• Women in ministry and church leadership
• Prosperity theology and money in the Church
• Hell, judgment, and eternal conscious torment
• Christian nationalism and political identity
• The surprising rise of Gen Z interest in faith
• Why some conversations are worth having, even when they’re uncomfortable

If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians can ask hard questions without losing their faith, this episode is for you.
