  • Let the scholar talk Mike!

    I love the podcast, but if you invite a scholar on for his or her perspective…let it be shared. Mike gives way too much of his own perspective. Let the scholar talk!

  • Timely, fascinating, desperately needed!

    We need more of this! I am so thankful for access to the insights from these Bible scholars. It really helps me to understand how the Biblical narrative from start to finish about the Kingdom of heaven flows so seamlessly. It’s the tough passages where we learn the most, and fortunately we can now understand them thanks to efforts like this!

    I found the first episode so interesting, informative and engaging. If this is any indication of future episodes, then I can’t wait for more. Even if you’re not following along with the reading plan, you can follow along. I love that these are real biblical scholars and people who are actively pursing the deeper study of scripture. Well done.
