Imaginative Bible Reading with Dan Ward

Anytime you read the stories of The Bible, it’s a great idea to immerse yourself in the context and setting, imagine you are there, hear the sounds, smell the smells, feel the sensations, put yourself in the scene. Imaginative prayer takes that a step further and invites you to experience what’s happening in first person, as one of the characters. This includes imagining what your life has been like leading up to this moment, what kind of day you’re having, and whatever hopes, dreams, hurts, and hangups you might have inside you. Turn your imagination loose and explore what it might feel like to be one of the disciples, the person receiving healing, a bystander, a pharisee, or even Jesus.
