Over 5 sessions and 2 days, Pastor Emeritus Mark Willey led us from a 30,000 foot view of the Bible, zooming all the way in to how the Bible is personal, relevant and life-changing for each person. Below are a list of some of the questions and ideas that this seminar will cover. You can also watch this video of Pastor Mark introducing the seminar's theme.

- Who are the 4 cast members of God's story and what relationship do they have to one another?
- Why is it important to see the Bible as a story that you are a cast member in rather than a religious book that tells you about God?
- The goal with our Bibles is not ultimately to read the Bible, but that the Bible _____ _____.
- How long did the Bible take to write?
- What is the choice that the Poetic books present to humankind?
