How to Use
the Bible in the
21st Century

A Young Adult Retreat Hosted by Thinking Out Loud and Unbound

Internal Divide, Politics, Confusion

Christian institutions and denominations are experiencing high levels of internal divide.

Christian practice and politics are constantly dragged through the news.

Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson are hosting multi-hour conversations about the Bible.

What are you supposed to know, do, or believe when you pick up a Bible?

This weekend focuses on foundational questions about what the Bible is, what it claims for itself, pop culture critiques, and what to do with a nearly 2000 year old book.

The goal is that attendees will walk away with a clear and confident understanding of what they mean when they say “I believe the Bible is true.”
