We’ve reached the end of such a rich season together! Dr. Tate returns to help us look back at what we’ve learned, celebrate the stories we’ve shared, and remind us of the tools we now carry with us. He also shares more about the amazing work happening at Truett Seminary.Throughout this season, we’ve walked together through The Interpretive Journey, learning not just what Scripture says but how to rightly understand it. Here’s a quick recap of the five steps:1. Grasping the Text in Their Town – What did the passage mean to the original audience?2. Measuring the River to Cross – What differences exist between the biblical audience and us today?3. Crossing the Principalizing Bridge – What’s the timeless theological principle in the text?4. Consulting the Biblical Map – How does this principle fit with the rest of Scripture?5. Grasping the Text in Our Town – How should we live out this truth in our lives today?It’s been such a joy to walk this road with you. I’d love to hear from you—are you using the Interpretive Journey in your own study? What is God revealing to you through His Word? Reach out via our Social Media and tag us!
