Hi everyone, 
If you’ve ever seen Disney’s “Olaf Explains…” — They are short, humorous, memorable summaries of well-known stories, but not meant to replace the originals - these articles are written in a similar spirit.  let me introduce you to our eccentric, slightly off centre, broken eared dog, called 'Zuko'. (He really is our family pet.)  Zuko, and us, hate 'Christianese' or 'Churchy' words.  We endeavor to take them out and replace them with everyday language as much as possible.  These articles try to give you more depth of culture, history and original language than you might find in the raw scriptures.  They give you simple definitions to big words. These articles are meant to be used with advanced S. O. S. methods. If you do not know SOS then you MUST read the next section on how to use these articles!!

The primary way of reading and studying the Bible is through Self Discovery Bible Studies (SOS). In this method, people are encouraged to read scripture and reflect on it personally, and then discuss their insights with others — either in small groups or when they gather together later. You can read more about this process in the main SOS article link above.

As people mature in their faith, or sometimes hit a roadblock, we encourage them to explore the next level of SOS. The articles in this section are designed to support your growth by offering a framework that can help you go deeper into the next level.

⚠️ Important note: These resources are not Bible studies in themselves. Instead, they provide guidance and structure only. You must master the basic SOS before attempting these studies.  They are backgrounds, history, cultural context, etc... that you may not pick up in scripture alone. First go here if you are unfamiliar with SOS at the “next level”.
