Guest speaker:
Dr. Megan Roberts
​
Megan (Ph.D. McMaster) is a professor of Old Testament at Prairie College, in Three Hills, Alberta. In addition to her love of teaching the Old Testament, Dr. Roberts has recent experience teaching high school philosophy and geometry, taught high school and middle school Bible and choir in Cambodia for five years, and was a Cross-Country and Track Coach substitute teacher for two years. She has extensive experience in landscaping, enjoys climbing mountains in her spare time, and is involved in her church in various ways.
​
"What comes to mind when I think of Megan: the words determination, courage, spirituality, leadership, pastor. She is a born leader who has been able to consistently take on tasks that are risky and yet wise. She is one who thinks and breathes theologically and spiritually: her priorities and worldview are deeply shaped by her walk with God and her love for His kingdom" - Dr Mark Boda.
Divine Imagination
Praying Biblical Poetry to See as God Sees
​
"I’m not a very imaginative person, nor do I have an intuitive love of poetry. I didn’t like reading fantasy growing up, and I had no ability to experience the beauty of poetry’s rhythms and images. The strange-to-me word use and odd grammar always got in the way of my desire to just make sense of the words! I’m discovering, though, the profound theology embodied within the fact that so much of the Bible is poetry. I’m discovering in new ways our deep need for our imaginations to be formed and expanded and shaped by the Bible’s poetic imagination. Without it, we can’t know true reality, we can’t imagine the fullness of our redemption, and we can’t heal from trauma and suffering. To inspire and cultivate our growth in poetic imagination, we will engage with biblical poetry through the ancient prayer practice of lectio divina – a guided path of listening to scripture to hear God’s voice and rest in his life-sustaining Beauty. Our world’s sin and suffering disfigure, distort, and destroy our ability to rightly imagine – to see and know ourselves and our world as God sees. Biblical poetry is able to break into our ugly darkness with beauty and true imagination that brings healing and wholeness. I’m on this learning journey myself, and I’m inviting you to join me in pursuing Beauty that heals and restores."
