Progressive Pastor, Joshua Adam Scott, of Morgantown Community Church in Morgantown, Kentucky, didn't always read the Bible the way that he does today. In fact, he was a very conservative young guy, highly concerned with saving people's souls. But later while in seminary, a shift occurred, and he's been shifting ever since! Rather than break up with the Bible, Pastor Scott saw new possibilities in the teachings within this sacred text.

He's been our favorite Bible Nerd since we happened upon him speaking at the Open Network stage at the Wild Goose Festival last summer. (More about that later!) Influenced by Progressive Theologians like Brian McClaran and Doug Padgett, Pastor Scott tens to help 3 types of people:

1. People who've broken up with the Bible

2. People who suspect that there's something important about the Bible, but don't know for sure what it is

3. People who LOVE the Bible and can't possibly understand why you would want to interpret it any differently than they always have

Today we begin this 4-part series on "That Other Bible School" with Pastor Joshua Scott, and hope you will get as much out of it as we think you will! School is in session!
