Pete & Jared talk with Sarah Bessey about her background in the Word of Faith movement, her deconstruction, and her journey to finding freedom in the Scriptures as she learned to read and understand it in a new way.

Pete takes us into the somber book of Ecclesiastes. He cautions us against an optimistic reading as the author intends to question everything -- even God Himself. It's a book that's not for the faint of heart (or for the new Believer) as you need to have weathered the storms of faith to fully appreciate the tough questions being asked . . . and ultimately, the hope found within!

In this episode, Jared & Pete talk with Rob Bell about his book, "What is the Bible" and his own evolution in his thinking about the Bible.

In this episode, Pete & Jared define critical thinking and unpack what it means to read the Bible critically. They suggest that a "God said it, that settles it" approach to scripture may not factor in the context, audience and literary style that the author employs in writing. Thinking critically about how we approach scripture allows us to experience the fullness and richness of the text.
