Can faith be relevant to all aspects of our lives? What does it mean to live authentically as Christians today? This 10-week video-based course helps Christians explore how the Bible and the power of Christ reframes our lives, and invites us to reframe our world with him. We will walk through the “big story” of Scripture, and examine how this story has shaped historical Christian communities and their cultures, and what its implications are for living today.
