Epignosis-to know personally, intimately and experientially

 Discussion Questions
1. What is the difference between knowing about God and knowing God?
2. How might a church that encourages diversity grow our knowledge of God?
3. What might happen if we kept asking God to help us know God better?
4. Do you agree or disagree with the Rachel Held Evans quote below? Why?

“They reminded me that Christianity isn’t meant to simply be believed; it’s meant to be lived, shared, eaten, spoken, and enacted in the presence of other people. They reminded me that, try as I may, I can’t be a Christian on my own. I need a community. I need the church.”-Rachel Held Evans, Searching for Sunday
