Sometimes our favorite passages are the hardest ones to open up for careful reinterpretation. Think about Psalm 23, a passage that’s been read to people in hospital beds and at gravesides. People have been nourished back to emotional and spiritual and psychological health by passages like this, and it can be difficult to re-evaluate things that have worked for us so well.

It is hard to say that we’re going to risk that sentiment, these deep emotional attachments, just for the sake of clarity. With BibleJourney, our hope is that we’ll uncover even deeper biblical connections that enrich us in ways we couldn’t have anticipated.
