We've been trained to keep the Gospels at arm's length.

We try to read them like students preparing for the final religious exam. This keeps Jesus safely in the category of ideas, but then we wonder why the Bible feels dry and impersonal.

But the Gospels are for regular people.

For curious people.
For tired people.
For people who want a real relationship.

In the Gospels, Jesus invites you to sit with him. To walk with him. To hear his voice, watch him heal, and let him catch your eye and ask,

“What about you?”

Jesus teaches us with facts. He meets us in our imaginations.

Learn the historical practice of reading the Gospels with your imagination.

C.S. Lewis argued that "reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning." We don't truly grasp something until it lives in our imagination. In Lewis's words stories "steal past the watchful dragons of religiosity." They connect with our souls before we can intellectualize our way around them.

Martin Luther knew this too. As he once quipped, The words of our Savior Christ are exceedingly powerful; they have hands and feet.” With its "feet" Scripture runs after us, with its "hands" it lays hold of us.

Join us! ln this webinar you'll:

  • Learn how imagination is a God-given tool for encountering God in Scripture.
  • Walk through a simple 5-step method of reading with your imagination.
  • Practice the method and ask your questions
  • Leave with a complete, easy-to-use guide and list of passages so you can continue practicing at home.
