The Simply Bible Book Club
01/05/2026
The Simply Bible Book Club
So, I’m starting a book club. And you’re invited. Here’s the deal: I am inviting you into a slower, fuller vision of formation that engages not only what you know, but how you see, what you love, and who you are becoming. My hope is that, by the end of 2026, you will not simply have read more books, but will find yourself thinking more clearly, loving more deeply, and following Christ more faithfully. Some Book Club Links: Our first zoom meeting / webinar will be held on January 31st and 9am PST. More details to come. Fable and Discord - Due to the amount of people who want to be a part of the book club, all new book club members are being directed to Fable or Discord. These apps allow for unlimited members to participate and permit the groups to chat about specific chapters / topics. I am very thankful for the book club members who took the initiative to create these chats and help me moderate! Curriculum Update - I swapped a couple of the poems in the curriculum because some were hard to find online or weren’t public domain. I will be editing the ebook and uploading the newest version soon! Curriculum Canva PDF: Dena, a creative (and very generous) book club member, made a printable PDF of the poems and hymns for us! Amazon Book List: I created a list of all of the books we will be reading this year to make them easy to find. I do get a small (very small) commission if you use my link! However, if you have the time, finances, and accessibility, I would prefer that you shop for these books at your local store. Local Gatherings: Many of you are trying to connect with people in your area. I have created an editable document so that you can add your name, general location, and email so that you can make connections with each other. I listed the most ‘popular’ countries in the group, but you can add your country / location if it is not listed.

"GOD SAID WHAT?" Interpreting difficult passages.
10/22/2025
"GOD SAID WHAT?" Interpreting difficult passages.
There are many passages in Scripture that are considered 'difficult', either because they’re hard to comprehend (linguistically, historically, or culturally) or because they’re hard to accept (morally, theologically, or emotionally). This episode will equip you to engage these passages instead of skipping or outsourcing them. Simply Bible Resources: Got a prayer request?
