    I’ve been listening to this podcast alongside with reading the Bible and the background info is sooo helpful and interesting. It has helped me so much with understanding what’s going on based on the historical context. I love how straight to the point everything is and how there’s no distractions/side conversations.

  • So much knowledge

    This is great! I’ve been doing a chronological reading of the Bible, this follows that format which is really neat. I’ve been taking notes on things I didn’t understand or wanted to know more about, and this show is answering so many of them with the historical background and context for things that might not make much sense today. Love it!!
