In this episode, Dr. Sauer walks through how he approaches studying the Bible and why thoughtful preparation matters. Drawing from his seminary training and years of teaching, he explains the value of using trusted commentaries, the danger of studying in isolation, and how learning from faithful voices of the past can sharpen our understanding. He also shares practical habits that help believers read carefully, think clearly, and handle Scripture with both confidence and humility.
