Retelling the Bible
W Scott McAndlessI created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.

Apple Podcasts5King ClefairyUnited States2 years ago - Makes You Think
Thoroughly enjoy this podcast. The author uses an oblique approach in presenting well known Bible passages. At the end of a podcast, I often go “huh, never thought of it that way or never presented that way.”
I don’t have to agree with someone IOT to listen to them. Iron sharpens iron!
Also love the music.
