In this class participants and teachers will commit to reading scripture daily. We will read through the books of Deuteronomy and Galatians. Both books contain vital insight into what it looks like to be in relationships with God and one another that faithfully reflect God’s character. We will gather weekly on Zoom to interact with the readings and practice the skills of observation, interpretation and application while learning to rely on the role of prayer and the Holy Spirit in helping us understand scripture.
