Abide Bible Course - Phil Collins & Randy Frazee
Discover five innovative ways to read the Bible
In this study, a professor and a pastor—Dr. Phil Collins and Randy Frazee—will walk you through five innovative practices that will take you beyond just reading and help you deeply engage with Scripture in a way that fits your unique personality and learning style. In each session, they will explain the practice and walk you through each one—with practical examples—so you can try it out for the upcoming week. These practices include:
Praying Scripture: pray with the words of Scripture instead of your own
Engage Through Art: looking at works of art to help you see a passage in a new way
Journal: writing out your thoughts and feelings on a passage to give you greater clarity
Picture It: putting yourself into the stories of the Bible to experience them firsthand
Contemplate: deeply reflecting and praying through a passage in God’s Word
