On this episode of Conversational Counseling we are thrilled to have Marty Solomon, creator and executive producer of ⁠The BEMA Podcast⁠ join us!

We talk about the how Jewish scholarship teaches us about the ministry of Jesus and therefore our ministry to others, the theme in the story of the Bible of God's desire to restore relationship after disruption, the value of a deeper understanding of the Text to help us understand who God is more fully, the value of radical community amongst our diversity, a rabbinical model of discipleship, the value of wrestling with questions and nuance, and so much more!

Marty Solomon is an author, content creator, and resource creator on a mission to examine bad readings of the Bible and reconstruct better readings of the Bible that are informed by historical/Jewish context. His recently released book is called Asking Better Questions of the Bible: A Guide for the Wounded, Wary and Longing for More. He is the president and director of discipleship for Impact Campus Ministries. He and his wife, Rebekah, live in Cincinnati with their two children. Find out more about Marty at martysolomon.com.
