Bridge the gap between text and understanding
Every Sunday, new faces enter our churches seeking answers and connection, but the vastness of the Bible can overwhelm. Many struggle to grasp the big picture, missing their place in God’s story and his invitation to them. This lack of context leaves them feeling disconnected from the timeless truths within the scriptures.

Paige Peacock Vanosky grew up in San Antonio, Texas, as an active member of Trinity Baptist Church led by Dr. Buckner Fanning. Dr. Fanning was held in high regard by all faith communities, including the Jewish faith to whom he was often invited to speak. Under Dr. Fanning, Vanosky came to understand and embrace the importance of drawing circles rather than lines, as Dr. Fanning taught that aside from the essential elements of faith, all other topics are an interesting conversation. This message became impactful in her life and ministry and is the message foundational to a chronological Bible study she wrote and taught to a small group of women. These women hold Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, and skeptical perspectives yet have continued to meet together for over twelve years. The study became the basis for The 30-Minute Bible, the biblical story in brief, written for the many individuals like those in her study who seek an objective, approachable understanding of the Bible.
