Win Today: Your Roadmap to Wholeness

Your Roadmap to Wholeness

468: This is a CLEAR Method. Zach Windahl on the Unified Story of Scripture, Why “Belong Before You Believe” Fails, and How to Study Scripture When You’re Bored or Confused

Podcast ·

You love Jesus, and you want to love the Bible, but most days, life crowds it out. And when you do open the text, it can feel confusing, disjointed, even offensive; so you reach for personalities who make it feel easier. The problem is that celebrity clarity often replaces biblical clarity. This week on Win Today, Zach Windahl joins me to recover the unified story of Scripture and to challenge a popular church slogan: “belong before you believe.” Belonging matters, but the New Testament’s pattern is belief that forms a people, not a people that replaces belief. We’ll name the most common study mistakes, walk a simple observation–interpretation–application path, and give you a way to read when you’re bored, confused, or offended—so you meet the Lord in the words he actually inspired.

You’ll learn:
  • How the Bible is one unified story that leads to Jesus—and why that changes how you read everything.
  • Why “belong before you believe” breaks the church’s theological logic (and what belongs in its place).
  • A clear inductive method (observation → interpretation → application) you can use today.
  • What to do when you are bored, confused, or offended by a passage (without twisting the text).
  • How consistent Bible engagement sparks measurable spiritual growth and confidence.
