Most people don’t read the Bible. They skim. They cherry-pick. They turn verses into weapons without context, culture, or Spirit.

But what if you read Scripture like a story — full of drama, betrayal, miracles, and divine messiness — the way it was meant to be read?

In this episode of 2weIrDOs, Denise Owens takes you deep into the art of biblical interpretation (hermeneutics) with humor, history, and holy receipts. From Acts 1 casting lots to Acts 2 prophecy, from Black cultural storytelling to misused church verses, Denise shows you how reading the Bible right can set you free from bad doctrine.

You’ll learn:

• Why “If the text don’t say it, it don’t say it” is the new rule for Bible study
• How Black culture and storytelling traditions unlock Scripture’s hidden flow
• What the Bible actually says about divination and the Holy Spirit
• The difference between cherry-picking verses and reading with context
• How to see yourself as part of the story — not outside of it

This isn’t Sunday school. It’s bold, prophetic, and unapologetically messy — because Scripture is messy too.

Stay until the end for affirmations, a ritual challenge, and a reminder that you ARE the miracle.

✨ The receipts on biblical magic — dream interpretation, astrology, divination, oh my

✨ And most importantly: how to reclaim the text without letting it control you
