256:🎙️ You Refuse to Come to Me: When Scripture Isn't Enough
Can you know the Bible and still miss Jesus? In this sobering and hope-filled episode, Rohan Bell and Tim Mulford explore John 5:31–47, where Jesus confronts religious leaders who studied scripture but refused to receive the life he offered. It's a raw reminder that the Word of God points to a relationship, not just information.

✅ Why Jesus confronted religious pride with both truth and grace
✅ How scripture without relationship can lead to spiritual blindness
✅ The danger of confirmation bias in faith and leadership
✅ What it means to let the Word of God dwell deeply within us
✅ Why godly rebuke is a form of love, not rejection
