Hour 1: Reading the Bible From A Jewish Perspective
What would it be like for modern readers to sit down beside Jesus as he explained the Bible to them? What life-changing insights might emerge from such a transformative encounter? Our guest knows the treasures that await readers willing to learn how to read the Bible through Jewish eyes. By helping them understand the Bible as Jesus and his first-century listeners would have, she bridges the gaps of time and culture in order to open the Bible to readers today. Join us as she leads us on a journey back in time to shed light on how the Middle Eastern people approached life, God, and each other.
Hour 2: When Is It Right To Die?
What do you do with life's toughest questions? Maybe your parent is terminally ill, or your friend is struggling with cancer. Every human has to face the last great enemy at some point in their lives: death. But when circumstances require you to make that decision early because of extraordinary circumstances or suffering health, what should you do? Join us as our guest tackles questions like:
* What the Bible says about struggling through the tough questions on life and death
* What to say to someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts
* God's plan for your life with a disability
* Artificial Life support
