Episode 100: Is the Bible Real?

Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! 

What does it really mean when we say Scripture is inspired by God, and how can we know that the Bible is true? To kick off the new year, Dot and Cara tackle these questions, discussing the common themes we can find throughout all of Scripture, the process of selecting the books of the Bible, and much more. Dot also shares plenty of verses to help you dive deeper into this question, so grab a pen and piece of paper and join us!
