Scripture Story 03: What study unlocks

Practicing the Way·Practicing the Way·7:34

Scripture doesn’t exist in a vacuum — it lives in historical, cultural, and literary contexts. And as Mike experienced from studying those contexts, the meaning of Scripture can be opened to us in new ways when we adopt a posture of humility and curiosity. This story accompanies the Scripture Practice, a four-session experience designed to help your community read the Bible as apprentices of Jesus. Learn more at https://www.practicingtheway.org/scripture. Our Practices are free, thanks to the generosity of The Circle and other givers. Learn more about The Circle at https://www.practicingtheway.org/give. Run a Practice with your community and find other resources at https://www.practicingtheway.org/resources.
