We've all inherited frameworks — theological systems, doctrinal confessions — and without realizing it, we read the text looking for confirmation rather than encounter. The result is a slow disconnection from the living voice of the text.
Refining Exegetics exists for people who have sensed that something is off — who have mouthed the confessions, defended the positions, and still felt the absence of something real underneath.
The work here is this: before we interpret, we listen. Before we systematize, we hear. We go back to the text — to its language, its world, its author's situation — and we do the work of crossing that distance until the text can say what it actually says.
Because you cannot interpret what you haven't heard correctly.
That's what exegesis is - the patient, rigorous act of relocating yourself into the author's world — until the words land the way they were meant to.
Do that honestly, and something happens that goes beyond better theology.
It refines you.

Join me LIVE this Sunday night at 9pm EST for a special "Bring Your Questions" call-in episode. This is your opportunity to ask me anything about what I believe and teach regarding atonement and justice. Whether you are familiar with my content on this subject and want to go deeper on something, or aren't familiar and want to explore the biblical paradigm, I welcome your questions.

I have published the first of many "Refining Moments" that I am capturing from many of my long-form episodes which highlight critical exegetical steps for growing in Biblical understanding. In this short clip, my guests and I discuss a key to moving away from post-biblical theological innovations of "substitution" and getting back to how the apostles understood and taught about the death of Jesus.

JOIN US for our third "Torah Tuesdays" LIVESTREAM panel discussion.
Is Paul correct in Romans 7:14 when he says that "the law is spiritual"? If so, what does that mean for us who are commanded to walk according to the Spirit? Doesn't that mean we are to submit to God's Law (Romans 8:7)?
Join me and @TeachYHWH as we challenge believers to leave dogmas and traditions behind that wage war against the Law of God and make us hostile to God, even when we think we are serving Him as He has commanded.

JOIN US for our second "Torah Tuesdays" LIVESTREAM Panel Discussion
@TeachYHWH @PowerToolApologetics @kingdomseekers1973
Did Paul in Galatians 3 and Romans 2-4 teach believers to "die to God's Law"? Or was he teaching them to reject man-made regulations which are carnal and lead away from the commandments?
Join me tonight for a closer, exegetical reading of Galatians 3:10-12 and Romans 2-4, followed by Open Panel discussion. (Link in the comments)
