A journey through Eph. 3:14-21

Alive to God in Scripture Intro

David Smith, Eric Lehman

Process of READ

David Smith, Eric Lehman

What does it look like to read the Bible for formation? We must slow down and fight against our normal mode of reading for efficiency, maintaining control of the text. We must leave room for God to invite us into something new.

THINK: Guardrails
