  • Great podcast

    Love the podcast with multiple pastors giving input on the scripture readings for the week as we go through the whole bible in a year. Can’t imagine not continuing to do so next year!

  • Great podcast! Thank you!

    Thank you for the wonderful podcast! Maybe get rid of (or silent) the two minute drill bell? Always seems to sound in the middle of a great thought. Distracting. If the podcast runs longer, or if you do a deep dive early, great! Just a thought. Thanks for doing this!

    Just wanted to add the biblical pod in a year is super helpful! Love you guys!
