Studying scripture can seem like a daunting task. There are so many ways to approach it!

But if we let ourselves get too overwhelmed thinking about studying the Bible, we'll miss the point. Studying scripture will always be worth it, because it builds a strong foundation for our faith and understanding of God that we can take into any job, life event, struggle, or celebration.

What does it look like to learn for the glory of God?

To serve God well in a specific place, we have to learn how to think critically about that area.

And we have to be discerning about them. This means putting in the work to come to our own conclusions instead of just taking someone else’s word for it. (And this includes professors, too!)

And this is where the act of reading books enters the chat. 

What do you think of when you hear the word "culture"? What do you think when you hear the words "interpreting culture"?

We wouldn't be surprised if most of you just lost interest after those questions. But don't click away!

Conversations about culture and how we interpret our world are not exclusively had by super intellectual people who write super intellectual books. Our job at Jubilee is to find people who take complex topics, discern where they see our Creator God in them, and then joyfully invite others into that conversation.

Smartphones make a great alarm clock, yes. But they certainly don't sustain us. They actually cannot sustain us. While they can give us access to food delivery and our bank accounts to pay for basic needs, they cannot actually feed us. They can't give us rest.
