HOME: Men, Bibles, Debate: the Midrash
Episode description
Is church so dull you pinch yourself to say awake? Or so silly and thin on substance that you leave weak and hungry? Steven Manuel sits down with a bunch of guys every other week, and they argue about what the Bible really MEANS. He finds this recurring event so inspiring, exciting, and nourishing that he asks Justin Wolfenberg and Jeremy Pryor to explain the idea behind MIDRASH- a Jewish practice of men gathering to discuss the Scriptures. It’s NOT a “Bible study”; it’s a full-contact family leaders fight club where men get educated, challenged, and sharpened to (if we may) lead their homes and dough like a Biblical boss! This episode features real, live recordings of in-session discussions, and a bit of a how-to guide for men who want to start midrash gatherings in their area.
