Hanging On Every Word - Accessible Bible Study for the Average Christian
Welcome to Hanging on Every Word: Accessible Bible Study for the Average Christian. The goal of this podcast is right there in the name: to make good theology and sound Bible study accessible not just to theologians, seminary students, or academics, but to us average Christians too.
Join me each week for short, accessible episodes, as we dive into the Bible and study through it together. We’ll discover how all of the Bible (yes, even the Old Testament) points us to Jesus, and how the themes of the Bible, a book written by many different authors over thousands of years, are masterfully connected.
