Practical Theology
applying theology to your everyday
Welcome to Practical Theology. In this blog I will share the results of my personal bible study, complete with practical application questions.
Each blog post is a complete study guide on a passage or particular topic. Work through the sessions on you own or as part of a group, tackle the post in one go or over several days using the natural breakpoints in the guide. It's really up to you.
