Is reading scripture hard for you?
Understandably, weaponized scripture makes it hard to want to pick up the bible ever again. But if you are at a place where you want to renew your relationship with scripture, in this episode, pastor and author Zach Lambert talks us through how we can read the bible in ways that lead to healing and wholeness. Zach talks to us about his brand-new book, Better Ways to Read the Bible, beginning by sharing his personal story. He shares how to be aware of the lenses we read scripture through and ways to replace harmful interpretations with healthy ones.
