When ‘Biblical’ Isn’t Neutral: How Definitions Shape Faith

This episode explores how the meanings of words like “biblical,” “truth,” and “obedience” are shaped by communities, history, and power, and why those definitions matter more than mere doctrinal disputes.

Using Amos’s call to remember as a moral act and cultural examples like Orwell’s Newspeak and The Book of Eli, the conversation connects language, control, and embodied belief to argue that the church’s crisis is about definition rather than doctrine.

It ends with a call to re-examine inherited definitions and to live theology faithfully, not just argue about it.
