Q&A on Scripture and Spiritual Formation

After our last conversation about meeting Jesus in the Word, many of you had deeper questions: What if I end up loving the Bible more than I love Jesus? How do I know if I’m truly hearing God’s voice when I read? What do I do with passages that feel hard to understand—or even hard to accept? And how do I approach Scripture relationally when I’ve only ever been taught to treat it as information? In this Q&A episode of What We Long For, we tackle these big, honest questions about how to faithfully engage God’s Word. Together, we’ll explore why true interpretation always aligns with God’s character, how Scripture is meant to form us rather than simply inform us, and what it means for believers throughout history and around the world who don’t have personal access to a Bible. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to meet Jesus in His Word in a way that is faithful, Spirit-led, and deeply relational—this episode is for you.

About Me:

Hi, I’m Kristin, the host of What We Long For. My journey began with a deep curiosity about God and a passion for understanding how His truth shapes our lives. This led me to earn degrees in History & Theology and Theological Studies, where I explored the depths of Scripture and the beauty of God’s character.

I’m passionate about making Scripture-based, theologically rich, spiritual formation content accessible, approachable, and attainable for women. Through this podcast, my hope is to guide you toward discovering how the truth, goodness, and beauty of God meet the deepest longings of your heart and transform the way you live your faith daily.

My Prayer for You:

Based on John 12:32: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” My prayer is that this episode helps you lift your eyes to Jesus, the only one who can truly fill the empty places in your heart. May you find lasting satisfaction in His presence.
