Ben's method: double-check everything, hold your tongue

Ben gives his own vetting rules: he largely distrusts sermons for exegesis ('right point, wrong scripture'), double- and triple-checks extra-biblical claims, and leans on his ESV Study Bible while knowing its Reformed slant. He debunks the 'eye of the needle gate' — there was no such gate, and the myth softens Jesus' hyperbole about wealth — and the guys untangle a Horatio Alger versus Horatio Spafford mixup over who wrote 'It Is Well.' He closes by warning teachers not to perpetuate unvalidated anecdotes: say the warts out loud.
