I have been a Christian for nearly all of my life of 63 years and I love the word of God and our precious savior Jesus Christ.

While I worked o... more
I’m thankful Tim — and all that God has done through him. These podcasts, The Bible Project Podcasts, & The Bible Project app mean so much to me. It’s helped me to explore my strange Bible… ☺️ and to have a deep sense of longing for MORE of the scriptures. Thanks for all the effort yall put into these resources - it’s so encouraging & helpful!
What a great teacher! Thoughtful, insightful, and mind-blowing!
I could sit and listen to Tim Mackie explain scripture all day every day. His explanations and insights have helped me fall in love with Jesus and my Heavenly Father all over again. My only wish is that new episode were dropped more frequently than once a fortnight! It’s just as well we have The Bible Project podcast as well in between. Thank you God, for giving us the gift of Tim’s amazing brain and faith, to open our eyes and ears to your Word.
Found this through the Bible Project. Absolutely love having access to this podcast! Can’t say enough good about the work of Tim Mackie. My experience of his messages and teaching is that it’s human, honest, faithful, inspiring, clarifying, and so helpful!! I find myself and my heart pointed toward God with awe and reverence.
