The Divine Council Worldview doesn't just affect how we read the Bible; it changes our lives. So why do so many people (including me!) react so poorly when we first encounter it? And does it really matter if we embrace it?

I sat down with my good friend, Chris Lenoir, to discuss those very questions.

About This Video

How do we read and study the Bible? What's the difference between the two? Are there things we should avoid when reading the Bible?

This episode takes a first step in exploring Systematic Theology. If we want to have a biblical worldview, we must know what the Bible says and means. That means we must read the Bible for what it is: a divinely inspired historical document.

Many Christians know what they believe but struggle to explain why. Others may face a crisis when they realize some of their deeply-held beliefs conflict with other things they believe are true.

This series is for Christians who want to gain a full, consistent understanding of what God's word says about all areas of the Christian life and the world we live in.

This video breaks down the meaning of "Systematic Theology" into simple, approachable concepts. Not sure what "systematic theology" is? Then this video is for you! Join me as we begin a series designed to give you a solid foundation for your faith.

Peter pivots from the bigger of our hope in Christ and commends his audience for loving Jesus even though they've never seen Him. Dig in with me as we see the practical results of an eternal mindset and understand the purpose of the "inexpressible joy" Christ gives us.
