Here’s the official blurb:
Have you ever felt like you’re just scratching the surface of God’s Word? Like there’s a deeper conversation with God waiting for you within Scripture, but it’s just out of reach? Introducing “Overflow: Loving God with our Mind,” a course that will help you rediscover the myriad ways God speaks through the Bible and how you can listen and respond with an open heart and mind.
Taught by pastor, cartoonist, and professor Steve Thomason, this course uses gorgeous original visuals to take you beyond traditional Bible study techniques into practices that will help you make Scripture a living part of your daily life—while also inviting you to ask deep questions and engage your whole self in learning.
Whether you’re seeking to deepen your personal walk with God or lead your community with greater spiritual insight, this course offers the tools you need for personal growth and impactful leadership. Use it for your own personal spiritual practice, or get a group registration to use in Bible studies, adult education, or small group gatherings.
What You’ll Learn
- Practices to help you shut out distractions and noise as you focus on diving into Scripture as a way of connecting with God.
- How to deepen your faith by asking important and even challenging questions about the biblical text (don’t worry—you can’t break it!).
- Why exploring the specific contexts of each of the Bible’s books is so important to interpreting it in a faithful, fruitful way—and how you can apply insights from biblical contexts to contemporary contexts.
- Ancient and contemporary strategies for interpreting scripture that will drive you more deeply into the heart of God.
- How to allow your worldview to be shaped by Scripture as opposed to superimposing your worldview on Scripture, and why this can be a helpful corrective in our current cultural climate.
- A practice to help you develop a plan to become a lifelong learner of the biblical text.


As Christians, we are called to love God with our whole being–including our hearts and our minds. This course will teach you to engage deeply with Scripture, allowing it to nourish your relationship with God and expand your mind in meaningful ways. By carefully studying God’s Word, you will enrich your Christ-centered identity and sustain your life of faith.
