To Exegete or to Eisegete
Tyler Creel
In this episode of the Church Folks Podcast, we talk about why it’s so important to approach the Bible with exegesis—drawing out God's intended meaning—rather than eisegesis—reading our own ideas into the text. With a clear, relatable style, we unpack common Bible stories we often misread, like David and Goliath, Daniel in the lion’s den, and Ruth’s story, and show how they all actually point to Jesus—not us. This conversation is a call to stop making ourselves the heroes of Scripture and to see Christ as the true and better fulfillment in every story. If you want to grow in handling God’s Word faithfully and worshipfully, this episode is for you.
