This week we are talking about a topic that I am PASSIONATE about!! Studying the Bible!! You all know how much I love studying the Bible and how important it is for each of us to be doing that. I know it can be scary and feel complicated but I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be! Reading scripture was never meant to be hard. We humans tend to overcomplicate it and it's time we put an end to that. 

This week I invited Pastor Daniel Goepfrich to chat about how we can practically study scripture and actually understand it. You will see below that he has years and years of experience in this area and it is a real treat to have him share with us!! 

Daniel Goepfrich (ThM, DMin) has been the Teaching Pastor at Oak Tree Community Church for more than 20 years and it's local to my neck of the woods over in South Bend, IN! He teaches Greek for Calvary University and Bible exposition and theology for Word of Life International Bible Institutes and National Theological College and Graduate School. He is an Associate Professor of Greek and Hebrew at Agathon University and served for 15 years as Professor of Bible and Theology at Tyndale Theological Seminary. He regularly speaks for international conferences, seminars, and training.

In 2017, he founded Theology is for Everyone to produce biblically sound resources that everyone can use and understand. He is the author of Hermeneutics for Everyone, Biblical Discipleship, a three-volume Chapter by Chapter commentary series on the entire Bible, and Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage. He has also written several journal articles and contributed to multiauthor works. Daniel and Saralynn have been married since 1997. They have four grown children who are married and several grandchildren.

Conversation Highlights:

  • Hermeneutics = the science and art of interpretation
  • We don’t need a special code to understand scripture, just a willingness to learn and understand
  • Scripture was written FOR us, and we weren’t the original audience for it
  • Context is vitally important in Bible study
  • A.C.T.S. Study Process (detailed in this week’s e-newsletter!)
