Maybe that Bible story isn't about you

from Simpler · host Simpler

Most of us have heard someone talk about David and Goliath and then ask, "What's the giant in your life?" or about Daniel and the Lion's Den and ask, "What Lion's Den do you need to be free from this week?" Too often in our culture we allegorize the Bible, reading ourself into it and striving to find some sort of immediate application that we often miss the beauty that is actually there. This week we encourage you to not allegorize, we've too often complicated things by doing this - AND WE'RE SIMPLER!    THE SIMPLER CONFERENCE REGISTRATION IS OPEN - the456.org/simplerpod    say hi 2 Steven @thegardenaudio   subscribe, follow & leave reviews pls check out @simplerpod on the social platform of your choice if it's fb or insta see what's happening in our personal/disc golf/art lives @piercelove_ @micahmariano @converseandcanvas RYAN'S ART -  converseandcanvas.com EAGLE'S WINGS - facebook.com/eagleswingsdiscgolf THE FOUR56 CHURCH - the456.org
