Reading the Gospels with Your Imagination
In this workshop you’ll learn a simple practice for using your imagination to encounter Jesus in Scripture. Let Jesus catch your eye and ask “What about you?”
C.S. Lewis argued that “reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning.” He knew that we don’t truly grasp something until it lives in our imagination. Stories bypass our defenses and connect with our souls before we can intellectualize our way around them.
God can teach us with facts. But he meets us in our imagination.
In this workshop you’ll:
– Learn how imagination is a God-given tool for encountering him in Scripture.
– Walk through a simple 5-step method of reading with your imagination.
– Practice the method and ask your questions.
– Leave with a complete worksheet and list of passages to start with.
