Arrive

Ezra prepares for public teaching through a three-part pattern: seek the law, practise it and then teach it.

Reflect

Ezra prepares for public teaching through a three-part pattern: seek the law, practise it and then teach it.

Formation comes before platform. Knowledge becomes trustworthy when it passes through obedience and humility.

Choose one truth to study and practise before trying to explain it to someone else.

The page leaves room around the words because reflection does not need to be crowded. Colour as much or as little as helps you remain attentive. The aim is not a finished art project, but a truthful meeting between Scripture and the life you are actually living.
