Everyday Theology In Plain English
What if theology didn’t feel intimidating—but inspiring?
Everyday Theology in Plain English helps ordinary believers explore who God is and how His truth changes real life. In each short, conversational episode, host Charlie Miller breaks down big biblical ideas into simple, practical truths you can actually use — from understanding Scripture to trusting God in everyday moments.
No jargon. No lectures. Just real conversations about who God is, what He’s like, and why that matters for your Monday morning.
📖 Season 1: God’s Word for Real People
Learn how to trust the Bible, study it with confidence, and build your life on its truth. Over 18 episodes, you’ll discover that theology isn’t just for pastors or professors — it’s for anyone who wants to know God more deeply and follow Him more faithfully.
Because God isn’t hiding from you.
He wants to be known — and that’s exactly what we’re here to explore.

Do You Really Need the Bible? (Yes, Here’s Why) - S1E7
Can you just be a good person and figure out spirituality as you go? In our age of spiritual gurus, self-help books, and "all roads lead to God" thinking, is the Bible really necessary?
In this episode, we're exploring the difference between what you can know about God through nature and conscience versus what you can ONLY learn through Scripture. Spoiler: the most important questions about life – how to be forgiven, what happens when you die, your purpose – can't be answered by looking at sunsets. Discover why treating the Bible as optional actually leaves you spiritually lost, not spiritually free.
"The Bible isn't just one spiritual option among many – it's God's personal self-revelation to humanity."
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
- The difference between general revelation (creation/conscience) and special revelation (Scripture)
- Why "spiritual but not religious" sounds open-minded but is actually spiritually dangerous
- Three reasons the Bible is absolutely essential for your spiritual life
Practical Applications:
- The Bible protects you from spiritual deception by giving you a reliable standard
- The Bible provides what your soul actually needs – not just inspiration, but transformation
- The Bible gives you the foundation for genuine spiritual growth
Your Assignment This Week: If you've been treating the Bible as optional or just one spiritual resource among many, ask God to help you see it as essential. Commit to regular Bible reading – not because you have to, but because you need what only God's Word can provide.
Community Question: Have you ever tried to build your spiritual life without regular Bible reading? What happened? Or if you've experienced the difference between spiritual "snacking" and really feeding on God's Word, tell us about it.
