Everyone interested in the study of Scripture wants to feel adequate to the task. But there are many obstacles—real and merely imagined—to being competent in Bible study. In this episode, I interview my long-time friend and colleague, Johnny Cisneros. With skills in biblical language study and doctoral candidate status in instructional design, Johnny is the perfect person to not only help people think better about strategies and tools for Bible study, but to also produce something useful to everyone who wants to develop Bible study skills. The episode is now live.
The discussion focuses on studying Greek and Hebrew words and a new video course developed by Johnny that is about to launch: How to Study the Bible with Word Studies: The tools and methods for meaningful insights from the God's Word.
In Episode 125, Dr. Michael Heiser welcomes longtime colleague Johnny Cisneros to help everyday Bible readers move from “just reading” to studying words well. They explain why context—not a dictionary entry—drives meaning, using Strong’s 2889 (kosmos) to show why “world” can’t be copy-pasted across verses like John 3:16 and 1 John 2:15. Then Johnny introduces a short, practical course that teaches a clear, visual four-step process, avoids common pitfalls, and includes an ebook transcript plus a 52-week word-study devotional. Best of all, it’s not tied to any paid software—use print or free tools and still get solid results. If you’ve wanted a reliable, lay-friendly path into Greek/Hebrew word study, this conversation is your on-ramp. See biblewordnerd.com for the outline, sample video, and preorder details.

Free? or $47? I’m confused. Is this a $47 course that teaches how to use the free websites?
Thankful for what you guys are doing!

Johnny is selling the course for $47. It teaches method and rationale for both software and free tools.
Copy. This sounds like a great Christmas gift to get my age 65+ parents, who are familiar with your material, want to go deeper in their Sunday school lessons, but have no clue where to start. Thank you!
