Discussion Series | Rooted | 2. Why We Can Trust The Bible

In this episode of Rooted, Pastor Steve and Joe walk through the historical evidence behind the Bible. They discuss why the New Testament is actually the most well-attested document from the ancient world and how discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the careful transmission of the Old Testament.

Rather than avoiding difficult questions, this conversation encourages thoughtful investigation. Christianity is rooted in real history, and the evidence surrounding the Bible invites confidence rather than fear.

The Bible is not fragile. It has been examined, challenged, and studied for centuries and it still stands.
