Scripture and Power: When the Word Moves From Your Mind to Your Heart
Episode 1 · October 7, 2026 · 53 min

What’s the difference between simply reading Scripture and allowing the Word of God to become alive in your life?
In the first full episode of The Spiritual Way Podcast, Mike and Marianne explore Scripture and Power — looking beyond simply reading the Bible and asking what it means to understand it spiritually and allow it to take root in your heart.
Marianne discusses the difference between the written Scripture and hearing from the Holy Spirit, why reading the Bible can sometimes feel like a chore, the importance of approaching Scripture with understanding and expectation, and why knowing verses in your mind is very different from allowing them to become part of who you are.
Mike brings the conversation back to everyday life with questions about hearing God, recognising the Holy Spirit, free will, the fivefold ministry, tradition and legalism, meditation on Scripture, and how what we carry in our hearts can affect the way we respond to life’s challenges.
It’s an open and sometimes challenging conversation about moving beyond simply reading words on a page and discovering what those words can mean in your life.
