Full Video: Scripture 01: Rethinking our relationship with the Bible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK0WGniMPCU

In this conversation, John Mark Comer joins the BibleProject team — including Tim Mackie, Dr. Brittany Kim, and Hakeem Bradley — to discuss how modern Christians often approach the Bible in ways that miss its depth, complexity, and intended purpose.

The discussion challenges several common paradigms, including treating Scripture like a reference manual for isolated facts or reducing it to a collection of comforting verses while ignoring the difficult and transformative parts.

Instead, the panel explores the Bible as a unified story designed to shape wisdom, character, and a deeper relationship with God.

Topics include:
• The “reference book” approach to Scripture
• Why proof-texting can distort meaning
• The problem with selective Bible reading
• Reading the Bible as a unified narrative
• Wisdom, transformation, and context in Scripture
