What Happens When You Actually Read the Bible? | S4E10 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

December 15, 2025 · 59 min

What happens when someone who barely knows the Bible actually starts reading it—and it wrecks them in real time? In this episode, Adam, Sammy, Fuego, and Sanaz sit down to talk about the raw, disruptive power of God’s Word and what it really looks like to disciple people who know almost nothing about Jesus, church, or Scripture.They start with a wild childhood snake story (yes, a real python on a bucket of cookies used as a sermon illustration on temptation) and use it as a picture of how sin looks harmless until you reach for it. From there, the conversation zooms out to our current moment: a generation that’s biblically illiterate, de-churched, and yet deeply hungry—like the viral influencer who started reading the Bible on camera, got confronted by Jesus’ teaching on lust and dehumanizing people, and found his desires changing just from engaging Scripture.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Fuego Padilla https://www.instagram.com/iamfuegopadilla/Sanaz Mesa https://www.instagram.com/sanazmesa/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
