Linch with a Leader What Most Christians Miss About God and the Bible with Marty Solomon
What if the biggest challenge for a leader isn’t doing more… but seeing God, Scripture, and themselves correctly?
In this episode of Linch with a Leader, Mike Linch sits down with Marty Solomon for a conversation that reframes how we read the Bible, understand discipleship, and live out our faith as leaders.
Marty, host of the BEMA Podcast, has spent years helping people rediscover the Scriptures through a Jewish lens, bringing fresh depth, context, and meaning to stories many of us have heard our entire lives. What emerges is not a new Bible, but a fuller, richer understanding of the one we’ve always had.
Mike and Marty explore what happens when leaders move beyond surface-level faith and step into a deeper, more curious walk with God. They challenge the idea that the Bible is something to be solved and instead invite us into a lifelong journey of mystery, growth, and transformation.
Marty shares how understanding Scripture in its original context can bring it to life in powerful ways, why leaders must never stop learning, and how rediscovering our identity as “beloved” changes the way we engage with God and others.
Whether you’re leading a church, building a business, coaching a team, or simply desiring a deeper relationship with God, this conversation will challenge your assumptions, expand your perspective, and invite you into a more authentic and transformative faith journey.
