Rediscovering the Bible as Wisdom Literature: The Story of the BibleProject

Join us on June 18 at Mitby Theater on the campus of Madison Area Technical College for an evening with Tim Mackie, co-founder of BibleProject, as he shares the story behind the project and the core biblical convictions that shape its work.
In this lecture, Tim will explore how the Bible is not simply a collection of ideas to be learned, but an invitation into a journey of character formation—one that leads to wisdom and a deeper way of living.
