The Importance of Comfort

What stories do we miss when we only read the Bible at the surface? 

In this episode, Rev. Natalie Perkins, co-author of the new book In Trembling Boldness, helps us take a deeper look at how we read and experience traditional from the Bible, as well as stories from extra-canonical texts.

Natalie offers us this: “We often approach the Bible as fact. It’s not about fact. If we approached it more like poetry, we would get a richer sense of the nature of the Divine.”  

May this engaging conversation inspire you to change the way you read—and listen to—scripture.
