Summary

Why are the Scriptures so confusing? Tim Mackie and Tyler Staton discuss how our intuition about what the Bible should do - that it's supposed to tell us about what's true, good, and God's voice - are correct. But these intuitions without the right tools to read can destruct our faith more than they construct it. Together, Tyler and Tim show us how to approach the Scriptures with the right tools, and read it like a story: one that leads us to Jesus.

Key Scripture Passage: Psalm 1v1-3

1:00.9	Blessed is the man who does not walk in the Council of the Wicked or stand in the way of
