Rediscovering the Art of Dynamic Bible Study
Rev. John shares an impromptu but deeply insightful conversation with Dr. Derek Suderman of Conrad Grebel University College. A Hebrew Bible scholar and gifted teacher, Derek reflects on how Bible study can move beyond information to transformation. Drawing from years of teaching across cultural and denominational contexts, he explores what it means to read Scripture carefully, collaboratively, and with curiosity. From the “Catching the Spark” Ruth series to his vision for dynamic Bible study, Derek invites us to slow down, listen to one another, and rediscover the joy of communal interpretation. This conversation is a reminder that the Bible isn’t meant to be mastered alone—but explored together in community.
