10: A Journey to Biblical Literacy with Autumn Rutledge

Whatever Is Excellent with Leanne Tuggle

Did you know that while many churchgoers own a Bible, engaging with it is a different story?
Autumn, the founder of Reclaimed Heart, shares her deeply personal journey from disillusionment with Bible college to leading a vibrant community of women in biblical exploration. Her story is a moving testament to the power of community support and the pursuit of biblical literacy without the need for formal seminary education. Together, we discuss how questioning and seeking understanding can transform faith into a more meaningful experience.
We dive into the findings of the American Bible Society's 2024 State of the Bible report, unraveling surprising trends in Bible engagement across generations. The data reveals an intriguing picture of cultural and regional influences, and our discussion sheds light on the barriers and motivations that shape scripture engagement.
Embarking on a spiritual journey can be daunting, but change is essential for growth. With practical tips for overcoming the barriers to Bible reading, we remind listeners that even brief, imperfect moments can ignite a desire to pursue God in a deeper way.
