Tuesday Truck Thoughts: A New Project to Help You Trust the Bible

Feb 18, 2025

Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of Tuesday Truck Thoughts!

I wanted to share something I'm really excited about. As you may know, I've been working on some new projects, and something unexpected came up that has me creating something else.
I felt overwhelmed with the need to address a timeless question: Can I trust the Bible? How do we know it's true, not just written or changed by people?


This has been a journey for me, too. While I have learned from incredibly smart people, I'm not a scholar. I want people to feel confident and understand the Bible. So, here's what I'm doing:


I'm creating a detailed ebook or study guide, maybe a 7-day walkthrough, on how to trust the Bible as the word of God.


I'm also working on a concise "cheat sheet," just two or three pages, with the essential knowledge, right phrases, and understanding. This will cover things we often overlook, like the existence of a canon, the questions asked during its formation, and why certain gospel books were included or excluded.
I know people get confused and frustrated, struggling to feel confident. Sometimes, it's because they don't like what the Bible says about certain things, like sin. But when you cut through the confusion, you find confidence.


My goal for the next 20 years of my ministry is to help people cut through the confusion and have confidence in what they know to be true. I want to empower them to move beyond simply accepting what others say.
Now, if you're a super nerd about this stuff, this isn't for you. This is for those who don't have the in-depth knowledge but want the nuts and bolts to confidently understand the manuscript test and the reliability of the Old and New Testaments.


I'm not sure when all of this will be ready. I'm also working on a YouTube channel (Matt Dawson TV) with encouraging daily shorts. I'll also be sharing videos related to these topics, along with content on my new website, mattdawson.tv. You'll see updates on YouTube and social media.


I've compiled notes and articles I've had for years, so I'm making quick progress. I'm excited about this project and hope you'll find it helpful!
