Welcome to Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson — where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future.
In this episode, Dr. Brent unpacks one of the most common questions Christians ask: “Which Bible should I read?” With so many translations and formats available, it can feel overwhelming. Should you go digital or physical? NIV or ESV? Is the King James still relevant? And what about paraphrase Bibles like The Message?
Dr. Brent will walk you through:
📱 Digital vs. physical Bibles (YouVersion app, Life Application Study Bible)
🔤 The three main translation styles: word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrase
❌ Why paraphrase or overly liberal translations should not be your primary study Bible
✅ Why NIV and ESV are excellent recommendations
❤️ Why love matters more than fighting over which version is “the best”
🙏 How the Holy Spirit makes scripture come alive in your life
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to pick a Bible that fits you—and more importantly, how to let God’s Word shape your everyday walk with Him.
