The B-Side Bible: Your backstage pass to what didn't make the sermon.
"They Didn't Teach That At School" has been renamed The B-Side Bible. The B-Side Bible is a playful nod to the forgotten, overlooked, and underappreciated parts of Christianity and the Bible — much like a B-side on an old vinyl record. While the A-sides are the polished, well-known stories you hear in sermons (think Noah, Moses, and Jesus’ greatest hits), the B-sides are the strange visions, fringe characters, obscure rules, and wild moments hiding in the background.
This podcast is your backstage pass to what didn’t make the sermon — the sacred oddities, quirky tales, and theological curveballs that rarely get the spotlight but are just as fascinating.

Ancient Artifacts: Part 1
Today’s episode is part one of a two-part podcast. In this podcast we are going to look at 10 distinct archaeological artefacts in history that corroborate with texts found in the Old Testament. In this week’s episode of Ancient Artifacts, the 5 artifacts we will investigate are:
The Amarna Letters:
The Kurkh Monolith:
The Siege of Lachish Reliefs:
The Siloam Tunnel:
and
The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III.
Each of these artifact reveal, not only a fascinating insight into how these civilisations conducted themselves, but how the Hebrews observed and recorded their interactions with their neighbours.
