Often thought to yourself there has to be more to these stories in my Bible. Is knowing the “whys” important to you? Then you’ve found the right place! We are looking for those people that know there is more than what we’ve been taught. We are looking for those people that their beliefs that don’t “fit into the box”, and know that “For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” We believe that to truly understand the Bible we must put ourselves in the mindset of the writers, and to do that we must restore the “supernatural worldview” of the original audience to which they were writing to! So, with that being said don’t care to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty? LET’S DIG!
