Love the Bible
Welcome to the Love the Bible Podcast, where the mission here is to help us grow in our understanding and love of the Bible and to apply it to every area of life, from the everyday mundane, to our deepest trials. Because let’s be honest, sometimes it's hard to read and study the Bible. Our lives our busy and hard, we are distracted, we face a lack of motivation, and then at times even when we are excited to read the Bible, it can be hard to understand.
But what if the ups and downs of our Bible study seasons, are some of the very things God wants to use in our lives to finding greater treasure and deeper delight in these words?
We are going to be interviewing amazing authors, speakers, and Bible teachers, who are gifted to help us along the way. We will have regular Bible tips, to help us go deeper in our study. We are also going to hear some incredible testimonies of when the Bible broke through darkness, to remind us that these words are living and active. And we are going to have teaching and devotional series right through books of the Bible alongside free Bible reading plans.
And the ultimate goal of this podcast, is to not just love the Bible, but to deeply know and love the author of the Bible more, God Himself. So again, welcome to Love the Bible podcast, I’m Kristin, seminary grad, writer, and Bible teacher, and for the love of Bible, I am so glad you are here!

Biblical Forgiveness: What It Is and What It Is Not, With Professor and Author Chad Bird
Has it ever felt like forgiveness was impossible?
In this episode, host Kristin Nave welcomes author, speaker, and resident scholar Chad Bird to the Love the Bible Podcast for a deep and honest conversation about the Bible’s teaching on forgiveness. Kristin and Chad dive into the dimensions of biblical forgiveness, including what it means to forgive vertically (between people and God) and horizontally (among people), and address tough questions about being frustrated with God, forgiving ourselves, and reconciling with others. Chad shares his personal story of loss and healing through the Psalms, offers encouragement for letting go of guilt and bitterness, and introduces his upcoming book, Untamed Prayers, which explores how the Psalms give us language for raw and authentic prayer.
