Reading the Gospels with Your Imagination

In this workshop you'll learn a simple practice for using your imagination to encounter Jesus in Scripture.

C.S. Lewis argued that "reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning." We don't truly grasp something until it lives in our imagination. Stories bypass our defenses. They connect with our souls before we can intellectualize our way around them.

Martin Luther knew this too. The quote, "The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me." has been attributed to him. / “The words of our Savior Christ are exceedingly powerful; they have hands and feet.”

God can teach us with facts. But he meets us in our imagination.

In this workshop you'll:

• Learn how imagination is a God-given tool for encountering God in Scripture.
• Walk through a simple 5-step method of reading with your imagination.
• Practice the method and ask your questions
• Leave with a complete worksheet and list of passages to start with.
