Have you struggled to help your people understand how and why to read the Bible? Have you ever wondered how to get your church family to read the same Bible passages together, on some kind of a unified reading plan? Are you tired of the worn out approach to "Read the Bible in a Year!"?
Glenn Paauw brings the HEAT and makes his case for reading - simply reading - the pure Bible, and just the Bible - not notes, cross references, charts and graphs, summaries, etc. Glenn is somewhat of a "The Bible and nothing but the Bible, Ma'am". Several hundred years ago some folks thought it was a good idea to chop up the Bible into an unrecognizable assortment of chapters and verses - and Glenn shares some of the history of Bible creation regarding physical versions of the Scripture. He shares some of the pitfalls of the chapters and verses creation and also the drawbacks of the Study Bible approach to Bible publication. Finally, Glenn Paauw, from the ImmerseBible.com project team and the Institute for Bible Reading, offers a fresh and creative approach to helping your entire church get on the same page, no pun intended, in their Bible reading together, emphasizing reading the Bible in community.

Tyler! Thanks for the heads up Pal! It's working now. It's a long story, but someone changed the internet rules on us that affected every one of our episodes, and we are still in the process of updating them. Episode 227 is now working! Comments are closed.
