Amazing Storytelling! A Must Listen.
I love this podcast! Scott is SO engaging and fun. Coming from someone who is a Christian closely following Jesus — even if it wasn’t the intention of his podcast — I love hearing stories in a clear and engaging way that help me understand better! Because let’s be honest, the Bible IS confusing and totes helps to have someone break it down for you. And super fun to hear obscure stories not told as often. Can’t wait to hear more!
Finally a Bible Podcast I can listen too
I truly can’t hype/recommend this podcast more! As someone who also spent a bit too much time in church growing up, I’m so glad that Scott was able to re-tell many of the Bible stories I grew up with but in an entertaining and non-church dramatic light. Literally I had to pause too many times because I couldn’t stop laughing at some of Scott’s jokes (the blasphemy sometimes lol, loved it). I can’t wait for more stories to come out! This is truly a gem!!
