Can you know the Bible and still miss Jesus? In this sobering and hope-filled episode, Rohan Bell and Tim Mulford explore John 5:31–47, where Jesus confronts religious leaders who studied scripture but refused to receive the life he offered. It's a raw reminder that the Word of God points to a relationship, not just information.

✅ How scripture without relationship can lead to spiritual blindness

✅ The danger of confirmation bias in faith and leadership

✅ What it means to let the Word of God dwell deeply within us
