The BEMA Podcast is a walk-through of the context of the Bible and the Text itself, as well as surrounding history. We deconstruct our common readings of the Bible and attempt to reconstruct them through the lens of historical context. The main body of work is contained in Seasons 1–5, and we encourage you to start with episode 0 (or even -1) and continue in order through episode 204. Beyond that,... more

I just found you , I listen to a lot of Christian podcasts and I look forward to your program it’s a lot of fun and informative and y’all have such a good time together .
I absolutely love this podcast. I’m sad I’m just now finding out about it and I want to tell everyone! I have almost forgotten about all the other podcasts I used to listen to. I love seeing the Bible from a totally different perspective and it makes total sense. This is helping me more and more every day. I appreciate the dedication given to this podcast to help others through their journey of living the Christian life.
This is the greatest podcast of all time. BEMA transformed my faith, and my love for scripture. The way they teach you how to take text to context, and investigate stories in scripture with curiosity is amazing. I was taught to ask the right questions, and it’s led me to love and submit to God in a way that I know will further the kingdom. Thank you, Marty, Brent, and everyone else.
I am grateful for this podcast. I have not wanted to engage in the Bible- it felt as if the truth of it was hijacked by people pushing their agenda. But this podcast is helping me stay connected with the Bible and the God who is always perusing, eternally patience towards those who are trying and giving us the choice of the kingdom of empire versus Shalom
The first half on Son of Man is amazing, especially the connection to Abel. This might be one of my favorite lessons in Matthew so far. The part on new wine skins did not feel very well worked out. He got the reference wrong in Jeremiah. The buried garment and wineskins passages are in chapter 13, not 17, so they are not next to the bridegroom reference in chapter 16. These references condemn Israel & Judah for idol worship, not for their injustice to the "mumzars". Marty is forgetting Agenda A.... more
