For the 21st Century Christian!

The Bible was written several millennia ago. Language, metaphors, and analogies have changed over time. Concepts & Clarity seeks to deepen biblical understanding by explaining traditional concepts to a modern Christian audience.

Enjoy Exploring and Deepening Your Faith

It’s been two thousand years since Christ. It’s been 3,500 years since Moses. One could make the argument that human nature hasn’t changed; yet, culture and technology definitely has. If Jesus walked the Earth in the 21st century, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to imagine him with a YouTube channel or a podcast. Paul might have been a televangelist (but not a crooked one)! The disciples might have had their own reality show!

But seriously, with so much information, and even a Bible, on our phones, planes that take us around the world in hours, and cars that go from zero to 60 mph in seconds, it makes sense that grasping the Lord as a shepherd in a pasture with a large flock of sheep might sound strange. Riding a donkey? Ummm, okay ... Separating the wheat from the chaff? That's chaff not chef. 

How often do we just assume what is being talked about? Or, we just gloss over what we don't understand. The 21st Century Christian explains these concepts to the modern person who can't be blamed for not understanding all of this history.

Now, That's Funny!

See what a Concepts & Clarity lesson is all about in Now, That's Funny, where we look at several humous stories from the Bible. Yes! God has a sense of humor!

Concepts & Clarity is committed to explaining some basic concepts that will make scripture more easily understood, lively and engaging. You have the option of taking an online course or attending a live Zoom session or even having Concepts & Clarity creator, Karyn Beach, conduct a live keynote or workshop for your event or conference.

Courses are delivered on a weekly basis directly to your inbox. You'll receive a lesson a week, along with a list of all Bible verses referenced in the lesson and questions perfect for journaling or group discussions. The lessons are also great for women's groups and Bible studies!

Online courses are perfect for people who want to work on their own. However, a live Zoom session provides the opportunity for group participation, activity and discussion. Don't expect a boring Zoom! We have interaction, activity and discussion.

During each Zoom, participants can expect:

• A lively presentation of the topic

• Discussion points and

• Time for Q&A

Online Courses

A 21stCC Course is a composed of 4-5 lessons on a specific topic. Each lesson is a micro-course - meaning it can be completed within 20 minutes. This ensures that we respect your time and also that we don't overwhelm you with too much content all at once.

Each week, participants receive:

• Video lesson

• List of Bible verses referred to throughout the lesson

• Questions for journaling or discussion

Live Zoom Sessions

The 21st Century Christian podcast is 40-minutes of weekly information and practical advice. Host Karyn Beach interviews real people about how their faith helped them overcome what seemed impossible. She also talks to authors and Christian social media stars about their faith and what they do to keep it fresh.

Karyn marries her love of scripture and her love of trivia in the Did You Know? segment where each week she features a little-known Biblical fact.

If you have a story to share or have someone you would like Karyn to talk to, email her at info@the21stcenturrychristian.com.

The Concepts & Clarity Podcast

Keynote Speaking

Boy! Karyn has a story to tell. Believe me, it is a story you want to hear. Right now, Karyn has two keynotes she is offering: From Home Owner to Homeless and Beyond Proverbs 31.

In Homeowner to Homeless, Karyn tells of how she had it all and then lost it as she grappled with a spending addiction combined with ignoring God's voice. Beyond Proverbs 31 shows that women in the Bible were as diverse and dynamic as many of today's women.

If you would like to have Karyn speak at your event or conference, contact Karyn, email her at info@the21stcenturychristian.com.
