How to Read Folklore
How are the powerless to make their way in the world? Folktales - literally stories of the people - record tricks and traps those with no social or political capital use to shape the world around them. But... why are such stories in the Bible? And can they really form us spiritually? Michelle Reyes takes us into the story of Tamar to explore the tricksters and trickstars who enact Biblical justice - whatever it takes!
From Series: "How the Bible Works"
Reading Scripture is an essential means of transformation. But can we be honest? The Bible is really confusing. What's literal? What's not? And how does a library of ancient literature make us new in this modern age? This summer, we're learning how to read the Bible - not to get smarter, but to be changed!

Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t the end of the story; it was the beginning of God’s new creation. The Resurrection is God’s first step toward reclaiming creation, and we get to be a part of it. By choosing to follow Jesus, we leave the old reality dominated by sin and death and step into God’s kingdom, where we find life. This new life has already begun. And yet we’re also still waiting, because God’s kingdom has not yet come in full. How do we live in the tension between the Already and the Not Yet?
