Why are stories so important? Stories, both fictional and non-fictional, have been used since the beginning of time to impart wisdom and reason upon their listeners. We’re discussing what makes up a great story and how biblical authors used stories within their writing to share with us the nature of our worldly and eternal realities.References &amp; additional resources: https://passagesisrael.org/story/why-are-there-so-many-stories-in-the-bible/Visit: https://passagesisrael.org/⁣⁣Follow: https://www.instagram.com/passagesisrael⁣⁣Like: https://www.facebook.com/passagesisrael

How to decode the stories of the Bible

As Christians, the challenges we face today demand that we have a deeper understanding of the Bible in its original context. When we do, it will change the way we live, think, and act every day.

In this podcast, we're partnering with Dr. Dru Johnson, a Bible scholar from NYC. Together, we'll give you tools to better read and apply the Bible and to live out its wisdom in your own life and community.

Passages is a ministry that brings Christian college students on life-changing trips to Israel. We’re on a mission to strengthen the faith foundations of the next generation of Christians, to connect them to the land of the Bible and the people living there today, and to launch them into a lifetime of impactful, Christ-centered leadership.
