Show Notes
There are three things Pastor John notes are all but missing from the North American church today: we don’t pray like we should, we don’t make disciples like we should, and we don’t read our bibles like we should. In fact, George Barna has noted that half of America is fully “disengaged” from the Bible. Enter the Institute for Bible Reading. Glenn Paauw and Paul Caminiti join The Minister’s Friend to talk about their incredible tool, the Immerse Bible Reading Experience, and how it is designed to address today’s lack of bible reading. In this episode, we begin by hearing how Glenn was led into this work, and then we begin talking about the organization of our historic English Bible.
