Last week's episode outlined 4 practical steps to cultivate a natural curiosity of Scripture:

1. Generally know the stories, truths, and virtues of Scripture

2. Train yourself to find Biblical patterns

3. Find those patterns that reflect universal truths, themes, and types EVERYWHERE (including outside of the Bible)

4. Reverse the order (find the themes, truths, and types you love and connect with from other stories/examples and find them IN scripture).

This week, I wanted to go through these steps using one of my favorite examples: Gandalf the Grey from The Lord of the Rings. Hopefully, after walking through this example, the steps will become clearer to envision and you'll begin to see how you can borrow the emotion evoked by more modern stories/media/examples and apply them to Scripture because those examples are only borrowing from Scripture in the first place.
