Maybe you’ve listened to a sermon and it seemed like the pastor was speaking another language. Or perhaps you’ve thought that the notes in your study Bible could use a commentary of their own. From imputation to justification, theophany to theodicy, keeping all these concepts straight can be a challenge for any believer. This is a short podcast about long words. Every week, Barry Cooper sheds light on a different biblical or theological term, using helpful illustrations to apply it to your life. Listen to this week’s episode to expand your understanding and deepen your faith, one word at a time.

Simply Put - review from New Zealand

This is an excellent podcast for those struggling to understand aspects of the bible regarding the culture in biblical times and its relevance or irrelevance to us today. My all time favourite Christian podcast, no woffle, straight to the point and very easy to understand.
