How the Bible Actually Works feat. Pete Enns - OTT #43

Have you ever had a new experience or idea that has led you to have even more questions about something in the Bible? Or wondered about what the Bible even is? Or what to do with it? We sure have and our guest Dr. Pete Enns has too!

Pete has been a spiritual luminary for us as we have navigated our shifting ideas regarding faith, theology, and the Bible. 

We talk all about the impact and consequences of exploring new ideas regarding the Bible, how to raise your kids and lead others in the midst of deconstruction, the messiness of the Bible, and what we are supposed to be doing with it.  

Pete's latest book How the Bible Actually Works is a fantastic, accessible piece for thinking about the challenges and joys of biblical interpretation.  Make sure to get your copy today at https://peteenns.com/books/how-the-bi...
