Featuring: Dr. Jim Howard

In this heartfelt, humorous, and deeply theological message, Dr. Jim Howard leads us on a journey through Scripture not as a rigid rulebook—but as a redemptive, relational invitation into the heart of God. With wisdom forged from decades of pastoral ministry, academic scholarship, and personal sorrow, Dr. Howard shares why studying the Bible should never lead us to arrogance, but to awe.

Opening with stories of deep personal loss and transformative love, Dr. Howard reveals how his own quest to understand a God who allowed grief led him deeper into the richness of Scripture. Along the way, he challenges the Church to engage even the hard passages—those we’d rather skip or sanitize—because when read rightly, every difficult verse reveals something about a God who is consistently working for redemption.

From Deuteronomy to Leviticus to the words of Jesus, Dr. Howard reminds us that God always meets people where they are, speaks in ways they can understand, and invites us to love and obey—not to impress, but to live. This message is both a theological primer and a pastoral call to fall in love with the Word again.
