📖 Bible Verse Correction:

In this episode, Beka misquoted a verse. The correct reference is: “Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” – Mark 7:13 (NIV)

📚 Old Testament Reference:

The account of the daughters of the line of Manasseh receiving their father’s inheritance: “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‘The daughters of Zelophehad are right in what they are saying; you shall indeed let them possess an inheritance among their father’s brothers and pass the inheritance of their father on to them.’” – Numbers 27:6-7

📌 Clarification:

At the 41-minute mark, Judah encourages supplementing Bible reading with podcasts, fellowship, and other faith-based resources—not replacing it. His point is simply that God meets you where you are—whether through a podcast, book, or conversation. He’s not upset if you miss a devotional—His heart is for relationship above all else.

We at Raw Jesus Talk believe there’s no substitute for Scripture, and we encourage all followers of Jesus to stay rooted in the Word. As Scripture says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” – Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

Melissa grew up feeling unwanted, always on the outside looking in. Given up for adoption, she wrestled with her worth—until God’s love found her in an unexpected way. In this episode, she shares how she encountered the God of justice, who sees, pursues, and loves us even in our mess.

Verses on Jesus and Justice – In the following verses, Jesus is explicitly called a prophet (Luke 13:33, Acts 3:22–23), priest (Hebrews 3:1), and king (Revelation 17:14). He is a multifaceted, dynamic God who always engages with us from a place of love. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and His heart is that none should perish (Hebrews 13:8, Matthew 18:14). The same God who delivered His people from Pharaoh is able to deliver us from those who would destroy us today.
