Beyond the Verse: How to Study the Bible & Actually Apply It (Kaydene Grant)

Have you read the TEA that the Bible spills?! There’s drama over family inheritance, sibling rivalry, bitter betrayals, stolen identities, surprise reveals, enslavement . . . and that’s just the book of Genesis! The 66 books that make up Scripture each add something unique to God’s story, but they all point to the same truth: no matter how messy we humans get, the invitation to be redeemed, restored, and remade through Christ’s love is available to everyone. Join this special conversation with hosts Rasool Berry, Dr. Christin Thorpe, and guest Kaydene Grant as they share their experiences and tips for learning and living out God’s Word.    Guest Bio:  Kaydene Grant, also known as Coach K, is a businesswoman, viral content creator, ministry leader, and author who brings Bible stories to life with humor, heart, and bold authenticity.
