Theology of Work E2 — Many Christians believe the world will ultimately be destroyed when Jesus returns, and so our day-to-day lives don't really matter. But the Apostle Paul teaches the opposite in 1 Corinthians 15 and Colossians 3. The eternal, red... more
Theology of Work E1 — Whether we’re young and still discovering our career, or perhaps more seasoned in work but new to following Jesus, integrating our vocation with our discipleship to Jesus is challenging. Why? Because the modern American story ab... more
Prayer and encountering God’s presence are biblical topics we can study, but they’re also very personal experiences for each of us, and so this message combines both. First, Tim shares his personal history with prayer, and then dives into a biblical ... more

If you are looking to really learn and understand the Bible, this is the best podcast out there. The contents of this podcast are well researched and Tim Mackie has a wonderful way of explaining things and a lot of what he has to say is so relatable.
Tim Mackie’s personal podcast as well as the BibleProject have been absolutely foundational to my faith and I honestly don’t know where I’d be in my faith without them. I love how he can take a passage that is seemingly straightforward and break it down so much and unpack an incredible amount of wisdom and ultimately truth. Mr. Tim Mackie, if you ever read this comment, thank you so much and no, I appreciate you and your work more than you can possibly know.
Amazing wonderful podcast. Its completely changed my mind about so many things and given me life and a new framework w which to understand the Bible!
I found Tim a couple of years ago and find him incredibly insightful and approachable. I finally found a way to GET the Bible after trying and failing so many times. I asked God for a teacher and I believe that Tim is the answer to this prayer at this season in my life.
I am loving this series on the prophet Jonah. I have been in church all my life - and have been in church ministry for 25 years - and have never heard what was really going on in this story. Excellent teaching - Thankyou Tim.
