| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the John Mark Comer |
| 0:09.3 | teachings podcast. I'm Strawn Coleman your host and part of the teaching team here at practicing the way. |
| 0:15.0 | Each week on the show we share a teaching from John Mark or other trusted voices in the formation space. In today's teaching John Mark explores the question |
| 0:26.8 | how do we read the scriptures, inviting us to nourish ourselves with the goodness and |
| 0:32.4 | wisdom they offer as we experience them in God's presence. |
| 0:39.0 | Here's John Mark. |
| 0:49.7 | Hey, turning your Bibles to Luke 24 in the New Testament Luke 24. So tonight we are wrapping up this kind of mini series on the Bible that we are calling it is |
