Welcome back to The Church Resource! In this episode, hosts Lucas Pinckard and Dr. Chris Respass dig into one of the most common questions they get: What are the best online tools and resources for Bible study, preaching, and discipleship?

Whether you're a church leader, seminary student, or simply a curious believer, knowing where to send people for solid biblical insight matters. Lucas and Chris explore their personal go-to platforms like Bible Gateway, Bible Hub, Blue Letter Bible, and Logos, breaking down what makes each of them useful — and when they're most appropriate.

They also tackle an often-overlooked but critical issue: how to discern if a resource is trustworthy. It's not just about flashy websites or big names. Chris shares how he vets resources based on what they say about Jesus, who publishes them, and how much theological "spice" a person can handle. Because let's face it — not everyone's ready to chew on John Calvin or Greek dialects, and that's okay!

From seminary-level Greek studies to tools that explain the basics, the hosts emphasize the importance of matching the right content to the right person. They discuss how recommending the wrong type of resource at the wrong time (especially in deep books like Revelation) can lead to confusion, not clarity.

Plus, there's plenty of humor and humility as they reflect on their own early struggles — like misreading Aristotle or trying to grasp Paul's writings in Romans. (Shoutout to Peter for confirming Paul was deep!)

Whether you're looking for reliable commentaries, tools for Greek and Hebrew word studies, or websites for church growth stats and evangelism trends, this episode provides a practical and pastoral guide to navigating the world of online Christian content.
