54. Understanding the Bigger Story of Jesus And What It Means For Us with Donna Amidon

In this conversation, Donna Amidon and Monika Kirkland discuss the journey of faith, the significance of understanding the Old Testament in relation to Jesus, and the importance of trust in God. Donna shares her experiences leading Bible studies and the inspiration behind her book 'Tracing His Promise', which aims to help readers see the overarching narrative of Scripture and the promise of Jesus throughout the Old Testament. They emphasize the need for a fresh perspective on Jesus and the transformative power of understanding God's unchanging nature.   Takeaways: Understanding the Old Testament is crucial for grasping the promise of Jesus. Many people find the Old Testament intimidating, but it can be made accessible. God's character is consistent throughout the Bible; He does not change. The Old Testament reflects the people's rebellion, not just God's wrath. A fresh perspective on Jesus is needed in today's distracted culture.
