Sometimes we come to understand scripture in a new way — through individual study, a memorable sermon or book, discernment with others or life experiences.
How did your understanding change, and what sparked that journey?
What new thing (Isaiah 43:19) did God do in your life as a result?
Do you read and apply scripture today through a different lens than you once did?
How have changing church practices influenced you?
Have you gained clarity on a puzzling question — or embraced ambiguity on a matter that once seemed indisputable?
We invite reflections on specific passages or scripture in general.
