Prodigal Pastor

Reading the Bible in Community with Dr. Dennis Edwards


Listen Later

Jonny sits down with Dr. R. Dennis Edwards—New Testament scholar, longtime pastor, and Jonny’s former professor—to talk about how leaders and everyday Christians can read Scripture with more depth and humility. Dr. Edwards shares his journey from a storefront church where questions were discouraged to a life of ministry, church planting, and teaching, then explores what’s changed today: growing skepticism toward “experts,” thinning Bible literacy, and the way modern content habits shape faith. Together they unpack what it means to read the Bible in community—with the historic tradition, with present-day voices across cultures and social locations, and with special attention to the margins—so we don’t settle for “whatever it means to you,” but learn to read faithfully with wise guides and a wider church.
