About Us
AWKNG is a ministry on a mission to awaken people to a deeper understanding of the bible
Here at AWKNG, we always want to point people back to the Scriptures. With reading plans consisting of actual scripture passages, historical and cultural fact sheets to help you understand the original context of what you are reading, and deeper study courses taught by doctoral level instructors, we focus on providing good Biblical scholarship to the body of Christ. We work with Biblical and Theological scholars of various Evangelical backgrounds, who all share the desire to equip the Church for the work of the Great Commission of Christ.
We focus on recovering and reintegrating the Biblical writers’ supernatural worldview and original context and strive to provide better interpretative tools to bring a more comprehensive understanding to modern-day readers.
AWKNG launched in early 2020. Our founding Executive Director was world-renowned scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. He created the foundation of our ministry before passing away in 2023. Today, our dedicated staff, board, & instructors continue to steward our mission of awakening people to a deeper understanding of the Bible.
