Beyond Bible Study: From Consumers to Participants (Caroline Smiley and Kyle Worley)
Episode Summary
To find your place in the story of Scripture, you have to understand the story and then how the story continues into our world today. Many Christians haven’t learned a method for reaching sound theological conclusions, and end up being more defensive than constructive. Some Christians are also content to lack Bible knowledge as long as the pastor or another leader has it, instead of becoming knowledgeable themselves within a community.
Caroline Smiley and Kyle Worley explain how they have partnered to help people learn theological methods and frameworks to study the Bible in a way that is sustainable and replicable.
