Verse-By-Verse Ministry With Heather Darnall
This podcast is a way for people to dive deep into the Christian Bible with me as I read scripture verse-by-verse from various sections and break them down for a better understanding of the context. But moreover, to have a better relationship with Jesus. Additionally, I believe this podcast is a good starting point for anyone new to the Holy Bible, but is still good for anyone who is already well-versed.
Now, please take note that I'm not a scholar. I didn't go to seminary school, I don't have any sort of qualifications that would highlight myself as some kind of guru; I'm simply a seeker for the truth of God. He gives me what I need to make this podcast according to His liking since it's technically His podcast. Therefore, I'm just managing it to the best of my human ability.
But the main reason I started this podcast, is because first off, no one read the Bible to me growing up. Secondly, so often verses are taken out of context and rearranged for our self-will, or even thought as not applicable to us given the length of time that has passed when it was written. And when we do, or think like that by not seeking the full council of God, we're only going to feel lonely, misguided, even deceived.
Thus is why I wanted to take the advice of the apostle Paul when he wrote his letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:15) and told him, "do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." Pay attention to that key word there, "rightly." So that being said, hopefully you'll find this podcast helpful and insightful. Moreover, that you're continuously rooted in your faith while marching forward in life having more confidence in the Bible and what it's really saying to us as well as how we can make it applicable in our day-to-day lives.

Does The Bible Teach a Flat Earth? - Part 2
In today's modern era, people are so hung up on facts, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but more often than not, many wrongly resort to the Bible to use as a debate book so they can prove themselves as right, or being smarter than another, totally dismissing the fact that the Bible has one specific use only - to draw closer to our Almighty God by learning the sinful nature of our hearts, the importance of repentance, and moreover, that our salvation awaits us when we give our lives to Jesus.
In this episode, I'm continuing and concluding the discussion of one conspiracy theory that the Bible teaches a flat earth, in which various verses have been hand-selected to "prove" that it does. However, that "proof" is mere human opinion, a dangerous concept to insist on that also comes with consequences that are spelled out for us, so that we're considered warned.
Please note that this is my personal interpretation of the scripture to the best of my current knowledge and understanding. I encourage everyone to please check and verify as scripture encourages all believers to do so. There many be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important, if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.
