The bible was written by dozens of authors over thousands of years, so some parts of the biblical narrative are “pixelated”—dispersed throughout Scripture in ways that can sometimes be hard to find. Not only are they separated by time, but they’re often purposefully segmented by the biblical authors to push us to think more deeply about the text and its message. In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into scripture, using Hebraic thought to help us identify pixelated themes in the Bible, learn why they were written that way, and bring to light the overall message those pixels create.
