No one truly has a Biblical Perspective. We read scripture through the lenses of our own culture, experience and education - which means we often interpret through individualism, patriarchy and even exclusion.
Pastor Zach Lambert has new lenses that will help us understand the Bible better: Jesus, context, flourishing and fruitfulness. Even if you’ve been kicked out of youth group or church multiple times - like Zach! - you can increase your Biblical literacy to engage with curiosity and learn to stop using out of context verses as Bible bombs you throw to end a conversation.
