Brody and Rob Conti continue their conversation about what it really means to abide in God’s Word. Rob shares why it's important to understand the full context of Scripture before diving into individual verses, and why we shouldn’t rush to commentaries. The goal isn’t just to get answers but to spend time with God and let His Word change us.

Rob also talks about practical tools for studying the Bible and encourages us to be mindful of our biases when reading. Ultimately, Scripture is meant to shape us, not the other way around.
Bullet Points from Rob's notes:

Pray for Understanding: Ask God for wisdom and obedience.
Read and Reread: Understand what the Bible says, means, and how it applies.
Know the Context: Consider the background and literary style of the passage.
Ask Questions: Who, what, where, why, when? Dig deeper.
Use Tools: Check study Bibles, commentaries, and different translations.
Avoid Bias: Don’t let personal views twist the meaning.
Understand the Genre: Know if it’s a story or teaching.
Look for Themes: Focus on key ideas like faith, redemption, or God’s character.
Apply It: See how it speaks to your life—commands, promises, or warnings.
Focus on Jesus: Every passage points to His redemptive work.
Seek Help: Ask pastors or trusted believers for clarity.
Reflect and Apply: Meditate on what you’ve learned and share it.
