How much does our modern Western perspective distort the ethnic realities of the Bible? In this new video covering Chapter 2, “The Bible in Color,” we explore the “identity markers” we usually overlook.
Inside the video:
📌 Judges 12: Why a dialect slip-up cost 42,000 people their lives
📌 Moses & Ruth: The unexpected twist about their “intercultural” marriages
📌 Geography Check: Why Jerusalem wasn’t the “center” of the world back then
📌 Pro Tip: A Blue Letter Bible tutorial to help you dig deeper

We’re in Chapter 1 of Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes, “Serving Two Masters,” in our Tuesday Women’s Bible class. We dig into the uncomfortable reality that our cultural “mores” (the unspoken rules of our society) often override our Christian values without us even realizing it.

Who knew 4th Grade Bible study could be this intense? 🔥
We just introduced the Wilderness Tabernacle set from Bible Bricks to our 4th grade Bible Geography class and the engagement was off the charts! They worked together over two class periods to assemble the base and start the fence.
The best part? When the bell rang, nobody wanted to leave. Seeing the kids connect the descriptions in Exodus to something they can actually build and touch makes these stories stick in a whole new way. ✨
Next week the 1st & 2nd graders will finish the fence and begin the Tabernacle. And the week after that our 3rd graders will add the altar and the finishing touches. More to come!
If you’re looking for a way to bring the Bible to life for your kids or students, I can’t recommend this enough. The set was well packaged, organized, and had easy to follow instructions. I loved how each section had a scripture for the kids to read to tie the biblical description of the Tabernacle to what they were building.

We’ve all heard that being “cold” for God is a bad thing, but the geography of the ancient world tells a different story.
Check out the first video in my new series based on Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes! We’re using this book in our Tuesday Women’s Class to help us step into the world of the biblical authors and uncover the hidden cultural assumptions we bring to the text.

It was surreal to see the Tel Dan Stele outside of Israel, just “down the street” in Edmond, OK.
For a long time, skeptics argued that King David might have just been a legend. This broken piece of basalt changed everything. It is one of only three mentions of David ever found outside of the Bible!
🔍 Why this matters:
• It dates back to roughly 842–806 BCE.
• It was likely commissioned by Hazael of Damascus, a rival king who was bragging about his victories.
• On the slab, Hazael claims to have defeated the King of Israel and the King of the “House of David.”
🏛️ The Proof: Since this was written about 100 years after David’s reign, it confirms that a royal dynasty named after him was well-established and recognized by his enemies.
History isn’t just in books—it’s etched in rock. Check out the video to see the inscription up close! Link below 👇

Wait… is that Dr. Seuss in my Bible study? 🦊🧦
Believe it or not, Fox in Socks might be the best way to understand why Bible translators get “tongue-tied.” I’m diving into a fascinating insight from Biblical Archaeology Review about translating idioms into other languages.
This video is a year overdue! It’s from last spring’s study of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus by Lois Tverberg. In this chapter, she explains a Hebrew idiom that almost everyone misses, even translators!
