Pray it in. Live it out.

A new quarter of Encounter with God begins, and Gail welcomes back Whitney Kuniholm, President Emeritus of Scripture Union-USA, for his quarterly look at the big picture of the Bible reading life. This quarter we finish 1 Corinthians and travel through Ezra, Matthew, and Colossians. But before we dive in, Whitney introduces something many Scripture Union readers have never heard of: the SU Bible reading ethos. After more than six decades of listening to the worldwide Scripture Union community, he has put his finger on its heartbeat in one simple phrase. Most of us, he admits, do well with two parts of it. The middle part is where the real challenge lies. Whitney shares what he has been experimenting with over the past year, a practice borrowed from St. Ignatius of Loyola and boiled down to two simple questions you can add to whatever your daily reading process looks like.
