À propos de cet audio

Are you overwhelmed by all the different Bible versions? With the King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), New Living Translation (NLT), and even paraphrases like The Message—it can be confusing to know which one is right for you.

In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike Stone breaks down why there are so many Bible translations, the differences between them, and how to choose the one that will help you grow in your walk with God.

We’ll explore:

• The history of Bible manuscripts and translations
• The three main translation styles: word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrase
• Strengths and weaknesses of popular versions like KJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, CSB, and The Message
• How to select a Bible that fits your purpose: study, devotion, history, or academic use
• Why there’s no “perfect” Bible version—but there is one that’s right for you

👉 Challenge: Read your favorite passage (like John 3:16 or Psalm 23) in three different translations this week. Notice what stands out to you!

📖 Comment below: What’s your go-to Bible version and why?
