The Bible is full of amazing stories! However, reading stories in the Bible is slightly different than reading stories in another book. The Biblical authors have crafted the Bible's stories so that certain key elements help add additional meaning and significance to the story. Although many stories do this, the Bible takes it up a notch. Since about 43% of the Bible is written in narrative (story) form, the better we understand stories in the Bible, the better we will understand what God is trying to communicate to us. This podcast series is meant to help us understand Biblical stories better!
In this episode, we will work through the entire skill by reading 1 Kings chapter 12!
