Dr Bobby Hill and Pastor Brad Abley: Talk about Bible Translations
“Stop Reading the Wrong Bible! How to Choose the Right Translation”
“Welcome back to the Learning to Lead podcast! Have you ever wondered which Bible translation is actually the best one for you to read? Today, we are answering one of the most frequently asked questions in ministry. I am joined by my close friend and biblical scholar, Brad, from the Heart After God Bible Teaching Ministry. In this episode, we celebrate the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's English New Testament, exploring how his brave 1526 translation shaped the Bibles we read today. We break down the differences between "Word-for-Word," "Thought-for-Thought," and "Paraphrase" translations to help you balance accuracy with readability. Whether you are a brand-new believer looking for a starting point like the NLT, or a seasoned student digging deep with the NASB and free tools like Bible Hub, this episode is packed with practical wisdom to elevate your personal study.
