About the Book
In Sinners, we will discover God’s tender compassion on anyone––regardless of their social status, troubled past, or the labels placed upon them. And we are going to notice the counterintuitive ways “sinful” people respond to Jesus in righteous acts of faith. You’ll start to see a theme unfold: The people considered sinful often act with greater faith than the most religious people of Jesus’ day.
About the Author
Kat is on a mission to encourage curious Christians to explore Bible stories. Her resources help you read the Bible imaginatively––so that reading the Bible never feels boring ever again. Without the support of a great many people, the Storyline Bible Studies would just be a dream. You can check out Kat’s Storyline Bible studies HERE.
Kat loves Jesus and views the Bible as a literary masterpiece. In “Sinners and Saints with Kat Armstrong”, Kat tells of how women are mission critical to the great commission. Once you get in God’s word regularly, you can see how Jesus has emboldened women to step up and share their faith while guiding others. Kat’s life certainly testifies to this.
Book Details
The way all of the Storyline Bible Studies are written, it’s clear that the resource itself does the heavy lifting for us. They are paired nicely and the reader is able to combine two of these seamlessly (more details in episode 233). In these resources you’ll find:
- Discussion questions
- Biblical and historical context
- Deep dives into scriptures
- Free download
- Facilitator resources
- Additional literary resources
- …and more!
Even if you’ve never led a Bible study, Kat’s resources provide you with everything you need. All barriers have been removed thanks to her, and more importantly…God will equip you along the way!
In “Sinners and Saints with Kat Armstrong”, you’ll find something new. The Sinners study focuses on marginalized people who would have been looked down on, but they stand out in moments in scripture. Kat takes five people considered sinful (for whatever reason). As you move through the study, you’ll find yourself in the story, but you’ll also find yourself hopeful.
The Saints Bible study is about the religious elite who behaved badly. There’s ope for us too as we see ourselves mirrored in this study. Remember that even when we mess up, there is still hope for us. We’ll see the complex layers of these Bible characters, and look at their redemptive moments.
A Word from the Author
At the end of our interview with Kat Armstrong, we ask her to give our listeners (you!) a word of encouragement. Her biggest nugget of wisdom she gives is to pray and ask God to keep you curious about the Bible. The more our curiosity is piqued, the more we want to stay in the word. Pray for this holy curiosity, and remember that you are so loved by God.
God’s word is not for Him to wag His finger in your face, but it’s so we can spend time with Him. The more we read, the more we understand and know Him. He is so near to us. Let the Holy Spirit remind you of your relationship with God, and who He is. The more you pray for curiosity and read His word, the more your relationship will grow.
We hope you enjoyed “Sinners and Saints with Kat Armstrong.” We are so excited to release our Author Mini Series 2023!
