Active hope and passive love: a lens for 2020 and beyond
Congratulations
I started this post in December. It started with something like, "Congratulations, you've made it!" We made it through 2020. I never posted. Over the past ten months, most of my writing has been a personal processing rather than a public offering. I'm sure that the small band of followers of this blog understand because you, too, have been through some surreal terrain over the past ten months.
In April of 2020, we were a few weeks into the COVID-19 crisis. We realized the opportunity we had as Precept leaders in the United States to hold out hope
Hope?
Have you heard a lot about hope over the past few weeks?
Whether it is on the news where commentators say, “Hope is not a plan” or it is a casual conversation over zoom when someone says, “We hope for the best" there have been some interesting conversations about hope.
No matter what the situation through the history of the church, the people of God are people of hope. No matter the darkest night, the people of God shine forth the light of hope that can only be found in Jesus.
In the midst of chaos, we can find so many things to make us fearful and discouraged.
The crafting of a Precept study
We’re asked all of the time, “How do you all write your studies?” Some joke around and say that they thought Kay Arthur, one of our founders, goes up on a mountain and then comes back down with a written Precept Upon Precept study. In a day and age, when there is so much content available through social media and blogging, you might be surprised at our process!

A Pastor, Precept, and Philippians!
Let me me introduce you to some of our Precept Bible Study Leaders that were in the middle of their Precept Leader Training experience. Also, let me introduce you to Pastor Vincent from Denver, Colorado. He was introduced to Precept when he was in the Air force through one of our Essentials of Inductive Bible Study Training Workshops. Now, he is serving as a pastor, asking the Lord to use Precept's Inductive Bible Study Method to help him make disciples that make disciples! You'll love hearing from him and the other leaders as well! (Video in post)
