Can we trust the Bible? Manuscripts, Translations & Languages

Can we really trust the Bible we hold in our hands today? Has it been changed over the centuries? Why are there so many different Bible translations? And hasn't it been translated through countless languages, making it impossible to know what the original authors wrote? In this episode, we take an honest look at the evidence. We'll explore why the New Testament is the best-attested work of ancient history, examine the thousands of biblical manuscripts that allow scholars to reconstruct the original text with remarkable confidence, explain why multiple Bible translations exist, and address the common claim that the Bible has been translated so many times that its original message has been lost. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or looking to strengthen your confidence in Scripture, this episode will equip you with historical evidence, clear explanations, and practical answers to some of the most common objections raised against the Bible.

Would you still follow God if it cost you what you love most?

What happens when God asks you to lay down everything you thought your life would be—and trust Him completely? In this deeply personal episode of Revival on Rubber: The Podcast, I share some of the defining moments that transformed my faith. After sensing God call me to walk away from my business and turn my home into a community centre offering free fitness classes, He promised that He would provide. Months later, after praying for $10,000, God answered in a way I never could have imagined—within just 12 hours. But that wasn't the end of the journey. Like Abraham, God later called me to leave behind my home, my community, and step into an unknown future. Obeying that call came with a painful cost when my daughter chose not to come with me. Through that heartbreak, God taught me what it truly means to put Him first, trust His promises, and surrender what is most precious. In this episode, we'll explore the story of Abraham and Isaac, the faithfulness of God through both provision and sacrifice, and why genuine faith is often forged through costly obedience. If you've ever wondered whether God can be trusted when His calling seems impossible, this testimony is for you.
