Current or Ancient
from Grace or Grit Hosted by David Talley
Some say that the Bible is antiquated and irrelevant. I say that it is the ultimate classic. But even from my perspective, I recognize that (due to our culture's general ignorance of biblical history and context) the principles of Scripture may need to be taught in a variety of ways. So, should we focus more on making the old truths relevant, current, cool, contextualized, modernized, and familiar by sticking with illustrations with which everyone in our audience would be naturally familiar? Or, should we do the hard work of educating our audiences sufficiently so that utilizing the oldest of Bible stories is easily understood by them? There is at least one man who successfully does both. He is the guest on today's episode. Bro. Dan Hatfield is on the pastoral staff at Bayview Baptist Church in Laurel, DE. He is passionate about (and proficient at) making the Bible understandable and applicable through the use of a variety of illustrative tools. Listen to this inspiring conversation.
