  • One of my favorite podcasts!

    I love this show! I love the way Jenn teaches and the background/context she brings to the verses is so helpful. Plus she seems to really enjoy doing it and her joy is infectious! I went back to the beginning so I’m only in Numbers but so far I love it. I learned so much about Leviticus which is a book I never understood or enjoyed reading until listening to her explain it!

    My only complaint is that I don’t like to listen on YouTube, but I can’t find the seasons tab on Podcasts anymore. When I... more

    I am newly back in the Bible and I am trying to learn it all. I have such a hunger for the work and listening to this podcast every day on my lunch break from work. I am learning so much. I appreciate Jenn more than she knows. I hope she continues to do this for many many years.

  • Easy to listen to and understand.

    I just started listening in Feb of 2026, and I’m hooked. Jenn is easy to listen to and takes the Bible into bite sized lessons and breaks them down. I have learned more in the last month than I have my entire Christian life. If you need baby steps into the Bible, with a kind voice, this is the podcast!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2 Chronicles 17 - God Is Ready To Help
Q: What is your New Year's resolution?
The host's resolution is to make this year better than last year, which they've succeeded at nine out of ten times.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What happens if a new convert becomes an elder?
They should not be offered a leadership role too quickly due to the risk of pride and not being grounded in their faith.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about adult children who are not following God? Does that disqualify an elder?
It's debated; adult children make their own choices, and parents shouldn't be charged for their sins, but training kids well is important.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about a single man or one without children, can he be qualified to be an elder?
Yes, because Paul and many disciples were unmarried, a wise single man can still be a suitable elder.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: Can an elder be divorced and still be qualified?
It can depend on circumstances such as if the spouse left or if there was infidelity; some argue such divorces don't disqualify a man from being an elder.
