Trailer | S03 Ep06 | Matt Unruh | Interacting with Scripture through Music and Worship

So, the arts are actually far more ancient disciplines of interacting with the Scripture in a way that sometimes actually gets past our mind and into our heart and our soul at a different level. You know, you hear a great story, you watch a great movie, and all of a sudden, it's a tearjerker, and you can't help it, you're just moved emotionally. Well, that does something to you and the stories we find in the Bible are doing that as well, right? You're reading these characters; you're reading what's happening with these stories that are unfolding. You read sometimes terrible stories of things that we don't even want to utter. And sometimes I'm reading the stories and I'm emotionally moved either to anger or to tears and just imagining the heartache that some of these people are experiencing. And that gets truth in us in a way that dissecting it doesn't.
