The Bible in the Belly of the School

This workshop/course seeks to present a clear and compelling approach to an overview of the whole Bible in ways that will impact life of the school.

Description

This workshop seeks to present a clear and compelling approach to an overview of the whole Bible in way that will impact our lives, our educational work with students, and the culture and practices of the school community of which we are part. How can we be immersed in the Scriptures? How do the Scriptures equip us to engage wisely with cultural challenges? How does God’s word counter-form us for faithful living?
