When evangelical christians were asked if everyone born is innocent in the eyes of God, 65% said, "yes". 48% of evangelicals agreed that God learns and adapts to different circumstances, while a staggering 43% agreed that Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God. With the Bible being more accessible than ever, research shows that Biblical literacy is at an all time low. In today's conversation, you'll hear Jen Wilkin explain how the church can change that!
Jen Wilkin is a Bible teacher from Dallas, Texas. An advocate for Bible literacy, she has organized and led studies for women in homes, churches, and parachurch contexts. She as authored multiple Bible studies and books, including the bestseller, "Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible iwth Both Our Hearts and Our Minds.".
Brian Daniel and Haley Malone interview Jen Wilkin, and discuss the importance of Bible literacy and the need for a clear understanding of core beliefs. They also explore the evolution of discipleship conversations in the local church and the role of community and learning environments. Jen introduces the concept of Training the Church, which focuses on active, dedicated learning spaces that encompass the Christian story, Christian belief, and Christian formation.
