By approaching the scriptures with an open mind and heart, we can discover new layers of meaning and relevance. Just as a prism reveals a spectrum of colors, various lenses such as historical, cultural, and theological can illuminate different aspects of The Word. Our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes significantly impact how we interpret and apply the Scriptures. Recognizing this, we must guard our minds against distractions, choosing instead to renew our thoughts with God's truth and embracing the transformative power of His Word.
In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Johnathan K. Drayton about Unpacking The Scriptures Through Different Lenses
