In this episode, our team grapple with a random passage to both get something uplifting for ourselves but also to model how one can approach the Bible and find ways to access its richness to uplift, teach, challenge and grow the individuals who are reading. There is also something to be said for approaching the Bible as a community, so this conversation will feature some of our community, Jarrod, Zanita and Jesse. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Friday mornings podcast.
