In this episode I talk about mishandling a Bible story. This is something we should never do. This is something we try hard not to do. But there are times when we handle the stories in the Bible in ways we should not. There are several ways in which we can do this, and I mention several in this episode.
What follows is a brief list.

Skip the story
Flip the story
Moralize the story
Transform the story into a lecture
Over-reveal the story too early
Flatten the story
Lose the story
Leave out important details
Change the context of the story
Blur the moral of the story
Add elements to the story that don't fit
Use a selective interpretation of the story
Present the story as a myth or legend
Make the story about yourself instead of the characters
Ignore the original audience of the story
Make up details or embellish the story
Use the story to support a particular agenda

What other ways can we mishandle a text? I would enjoy hearing your take on this issue.
