Episode 36 - Hermeneutics Series: Episode 2 - Jeremiah 29:11

NEW EPISODE!

Jeremiah 29:11- The question isn’t “have you heard this verse,” but rather, “have you ever heard the explanation of this verse?”

We usually see the words from Jeremiah 29:11 penned on a graduation card, in social media captions, or proclaimed whenever someone enters a new season of life.

But are we missing something?

This verse says God has a prosperous future for us… but what happens when our life is really hard? Has God left us?

How do we reconcile life’s sorrowful trials with a verse that speaks about having “hope for the future” and a life “without harm”?

Join us for episode 2 of our newest hermeneutics series! In this episode, Annie takes us on a deep dive into the Old Testament to explore the proper context of a verse that is so often copy-and-pasted in western society.
