Best of ChurchLeaders: Tim Mackie and Jon Collins on Why It’s Hard to Understand the Bible

“The New Testament…is Greek people thinking in Hebrew and we’re reading it in English…it’s difficult!”

“We decided a while back that we don’t understand everyone’s ministry context and we don’t understand everyone’s ministry goals and what the Spirit’s doing in any community or organization. So we’ve been hesitant to build curriculum around our content.”

“I worked as a pastor just for a year…it’s a difficult job, not only to come up with a sermon—that’s a very creative exercise that takes a lot of you—but you’re running a church, you’re dealing with so much…We really want to figure out as an organization how to serve pastors.”
