Hermeneutics Huesday 07 {we want the video camera footage but the Bible doesn't work like that}
Takeaway's from this episode:
Sound biblical hermeutics requires that we understand that the biblical authors didn’t think the way we think. They were just as committed to accuracy as we are, but not in the "video camera footage" way that we are. You aren't reading a police report, you are reading holy Scripture!Let the apparent contradictions or conundrums be an invitation to linger in the text, to explore on a deeper level what the author of each passage was seeking to communicate and how his unique presentation of the facts accomplishes that. Learn to respect the artistry, the arrangement, the rhythm and flow of thought, the use of imagery and metaphor, and the way the author hyperlinks his words to other parts of Scripture. As best you can, try to think like an ancient reader. Newsletter//Instagram // Website // Shop//Donate -

Hermeneutics Huesday 08 {the Bible is not a love letter, part 1}
The takeaways from this episode:
A love letter is written to a person, the Bible was written to a people.. The Bible fundamentally a “we” book not a “me” book. Before I seek to discern what God is saying to me, I need to figure out what he’s saying to us. What’s the message of this passage for His people?

The takeaways from this episode:
A love letter flatters, the Bible forms and informs.It is okay to read the Bible to glean information. In fact, it’s necessary to do so. If we make sentimental feelings our standard, we make a major percentage of the Bible completely irrelevant. Over time, as we read the holy Scriptures and seek to live them out, they change us.

A Must Listen
Aprile is so relatable and authentic about her walk with the Lord. I’ve known her for years and been under her teaching for as long. God has gifted and blessed her with the ability and love to teach the Bible. I have learned so much from her!
Restoration
God used your podcast to restore my relationship with the Lord! I look forward to it everyday on my way to work! Thank-you!
Amazing Bible Teaching
I just finished Her God Speaks podcast series on Isaiah today! I also got the workbook too and finished it as well (100% recommend getting it). Wow!! I have learned SO MUCH! I absolutely love how Aprile organized the Isaiah study into Layers and then had a podcast episode to go along with each weekly passage. This is what sets her apart for me. I love Aprile’s style and approach to Bible teaching. She has a way of making you feel like you’re talking to a friend. Follow her on Instagram too for great content that will make you laugh and most importantly point you to Jesus. Thank you Aprile for all your hard work on this podcast and with the Isaiah workbook. Can’t wait for more Bible studies like this one!
