Why does the Bible feel distant or flat in our modern lives?
Theologian and biblical scholar @alastairroberts7155 reveals the how reading Scripture deeply transforms your faith, prayer, and community!

Alastair Roberts is a teacher at The Theopolis Institute and Davenant Institute a host of the Mere Fidelity Podcast and has producing a comprehensive chapter-by-chapter Bible commentary while equipping people to hear Scripture on its own terms through typology, symbolism, and literary depth.
He explains:
◼️ The dangerous habit of approaching the Bible with OUR questions instead of letting IT question us
◼️ How to listen attentively to Scripture's inner connections, artistry, and typology without forcing connections
◼️ Why rushing to interpretation (or application) robs us of truly hearing God's Word
◼️ The Psalms as a "condensed Bible" that metabolize Scripture into song, prayer, lament, and community
◼️ How singing and embodying the Psalms combats isolation, anxiety, and cultural individualism.
