"You’ve probably heard it quoted: “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”

It’s often used to suggest that pursuing biblical knowledge or deep study is somehow a threat to real faith. But is that what Paul actually meant?

In this episode, we break down 1 Corinthians 8:1 using sound principles of hermeneutics. We explore the full context—who wrote it, who it was written to, and what was happening at the time—and uncover what Paul actually meant about knowledge, love, and maturity.

Scripture calls us to love God with all our mind. We’re commanded to grow in knowledge, seek wisdom, and test every idea against the truth of God’s Word."
