*******NOTE********

We changed the name of the podcast while recording several episodes. When you hear "Growing True Disciples Practicecast" don't fear; you are in the right place.

This skill is essential because ⅓ of the Bible is written in poetry. As disciples, the Bible is our authority and the source of our fundamental beliefs. To better understand the Bible, we need to take the time to read it, not only in it’s proper context but also in accordance with the genre it was written in.

If I read a song like an essay, I miss a part of what the writer was attempting to communicate. If I read an essay like a song, I will miss out on some of what the writer was attempting to communicate. But if I sing a song like it’s written and read an essay like it’s written, I have the best chance of grasping all the writer was trying to communicate. That’s why this skill matters. We want to have the best chance possible to grasp what the Bible is attempting to communicate to us.

In this episode, we continue to practice reps in reading poetry.
