Phoenix Fireside, November 5. Reading Scripture as a Disciple and a Scholar: How Disciple-Scholarship Can Build Faith

Update 11-01-2023: Barring technical issues, this will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube!

Nov 5 at 7Pm in Phoenix, I will give a fireside on “Reading Scripture as a Disciple and a Scholar: How Disciple-Scholarship Can Build Faith.” I’ll discuss the different goals and methods of these ways of reading, and offer some good examples from scripture of what reading as a scholar can get us, and also… how to read like a scholar while NOT being a scholar 🙂

You can download a flier here with more details and address.

Hope to see you there.

  1. Hi,

    I’m in Utah but would love to know if you ever offer your fireside here or would be willing to share slides/notes. I want to improve my scripture study because I feel like I am stagnant with it to the point that it might be better described as reading and not study. I do it every day but feel like I am not getting as much out of it as some of my peers who seem to come up with wonderful insight.

      I’ve spoken at things in Utah before, but never fireside-style, to my memory. I’m open to invites…

  2. The church in Utah does not allow people from outside stakes to give fireside. And even then they have to be about the covenant path.
