Join The Journey

Emma Dotter is in the podcast studio with watermark lead team members and high school students, Colin Keaton and Biak Sang, diving into Genesis 3. There can be a tendency to sugar coat things especially in chapters of the Bible like Genesis 3 but fully acknowledging the hard things allows us to fully see God's mercy and love.Today's Challenge: What would it look like for you to dwell on the truth that you cannot out sin God's grace and you are covered by Jesus’ grace today?

Emma Dotter is in the podcast studio today helping us build a clear, biblical foundation to stand on in a world that is constantly shifting sands beneath our feet. It is vital for believers to have an accurate and truthful biblical worldview, this helps us stand firm on the Word when facing worldly pressures and trends. We are discussing this importance of this concerning marriage and gender specifically today but this foundation serves us in all areas of our walk with a perfect God in an imperfect world. Today's Challenge: Are you swayed by the ways/views of the worldly culture around you, or are you anchored firmly in the ways and word of God?

In this Bonus episode, Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark's recent Woman's Equipping Director, now full-time grandmother, Gigi Hornberger. We know that the Bible can be confusing at times and that confusion can keep us from diving into the word. Gigi leaves us encouraged and with tools on how to keep pressing into the Bible even when we may not at first, understand. 

Last step - we want to jump to it right away, who is God, who is audience, why does that matter to me, does this align with what else I've read in scripture, reading scripture & wanting to apply it to someone else but how does this apply to ME?? Not just an "am I doing this yes or no?" But a how or when? In what situation currently do I need to trust him more in that way?

Lean in with us as Emma Dotter and Senior Director, Oren Martin, help us with interpreting scripture and how to approach God's word. Sometimes, we make the Bible say what we want it to say but today we learn about how to let the Bible say what it actually says.

Do you know how to accurately interpret and observe the Bible? Today, Emma Dotter and Watermark's Coordinator of Equipping & Apologetics, Garrett Wikle, are going to teach you what you should and shouldn’t be doing when it comes to better understanding scripture. 2 important things to remember from today's talk are: 1. Interpretation: what does this mean2. Application: how should this affect the way I live

In this episode, Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark's Senior Director of Equipping, Oren Martin. Emma and Oren walk through the basics of good Bible Study: Prayer, practical steps, genres, and more!
