Introductory Talk: Rewilding the Bible from Rule-Keeping to Wisdom

What if the Bible isn’t the problem, but our accumulated, exhausting expectations of it are?

Guided Discussion: Rewilding the Bible

Many people aren’t confused about the Bible — they’re just tired of it.

Tired of being told it’s inerrant.
Tired of watching it used to control, exclude, or shame.
Tired of feeling that honest questions mean faith is slipping away.

This Campfire is a space for people who still care about faith, but struggle with how the Bible has been handed to them — and are looking for more honest, life-giving ways of engaging it.

Practice: Reading Nature - Our First Bible

Before there were texts, there was terrain.
Before words were written, there was wind, weather, rhythm, and season.

This Wild Practice offers a simple, outdoor way of engaging February’s theme — Rewilding the Bible — by stepping outside the world of explanations and into a space of attention, presence, and listening.

How the Bible Actually Works by Peter Enns

A clear, humane exploration of how the Bible functions as a collection of texts shaped by history, culture, and community — rather than a single, error-free rulebook. Many people find this book especially helpful if they’re trying to remain intellectually honest without giving up on faith altogether.
