The Bible Bunker
The Bible Bunker is a Bible Podcast that we (Zach Anderson and Michael DeMile) started on November 24th, 2021. Our goal with this podcast is to take listeners through different important Biblical principles, and not only teach specific things in/about the Bible, but how to read the Bible and consider it in some ways that most Western Christians aren't used to, but that most Eastern Christians do, which is originally who the Bible was written to. The podcast is free to listen to, and our hope is just to reach as many people as possible with the simple yet complex Word of God. Shalom!
