Understanding the Bible
Understanding the Bible is a podcast and workbook resource designed to help you navigate God’s Word. It’s a basic introduction to the “genres” of the Bible, in other words the “kinds” of books that are in it. Just like you have different expectations of a documentary movie than a sitcom TV show, we should have different expectations of genres like biblical poetry and letters. We encourage you to listen to the podcast episodes, review the main ideas in the workbook, and then discuss what you got from them with other people, whether it be friends and family or your Life Group.

Letters
Before text messages, emails, and phone calls, the main way people talked long-distance was through writing letters. Most of the New Testament is made up of those very letters from and to early Jesus followers. Are there special ways of reading these letters that help us understand them?

Understanding the Bible | Episode 4
History
Sometimes when the Bible feels hard to understand, it’s easy to wish that it was simpler. Wouldn’t a list of do’s and don’ts be easier? But through the stories we have, we see the complexities of real life and what it means to be a faithful believer in a fallen world.
