The Bible Doesn’t Say That: Myths Christians Believe Are in Scripture

“God won’t give you more than you can handle.”

“Money is the root of all evil.”

“Cleanliness is next to godliness.”

They sound familiar. They sound biblical. But… the Bible doesn’t say that.

In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we take a closer look at popular Christian sayings that are often quoted as Scripture—but aren’t. More than harmless mix-ups, these myths can actually distort our view of God, suffering, and grace.

We’ll explore:

• Where these common phrases came from
• What the Bible actually says in their place
• Why false comfort can leave us more confused or ashamed
• How to develop discernment and biblical fluency as a believer

This is a fun, thoughtful, and clarifying episode to help you filter what you hear—and hold onto the truth that actually transforms.
