Ep 46 - "Layered Questions" - Dinner Talk with Levi, Larry, Rewell & Jason

Long Time No Talk

There are certain things that Levi needs to have as a foundation before he can study the content. Without this initial understanding, his studies will not be as meaningful and significant and instead have the feel of information and facts. Levi uses his studies of the book of James to illustrate the importance of discovering the historical context occurring at the time of the writing. We briefly discuss the context of first century A.D. Particularly what was occurring within Jerusalem and the Diaspora. We move onto questions that Levi and Rewell had and the importance of searching for answers rather than being given. Larry delves into how questions frequently are not seeking direct responses, rather are indicative of deeper layers and notion which may be yet to be uncovered by the individual him or herself. Larry refers to the woman at the well to illustrate this point clearer.
