Move from knowing Bible stories to understanding the single, unified story of Scripture.
Weekly gatherings are structured as a "Book Club," focusing on discussion, not lecture, using four simple, profound questions to guide conversation.
The Four Questions: Every discussion is guided by four simple but profound questions:
What stood out to you this week?
Was there anything confusing or troubling?
Did this change how you think about God?
How might this change how you live?
