Today, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor about the big story of the Bible—the way God reveals his plan to redeem all things from the beginning of Scripture to the end. Knowing God’s mission to redeem all things really does affect how we apply Scripture to our lives. We hope this episode reminds you of the beauty of the story God has written in Scripture and gets you excited to learn more about the specific themes we’ll see unfold as our series continues.
