A must listen for any Christian

Truly enjoyable and enlightening. These three men share their knowledge of scripture that will help any student of the word. If you want scripture taught with understanding, you’ve come to the right podcast.

I love the process these guys use to dig into the word. I just finished the 15 part series of Women in the Bible. It was a revelation experience for me. It was a breakdown of reading in the Bible based on a topic (women) and started from Old to New Testament. Having the three professors from 3 different areas of study give a well rounded view of the scriptures. It has changed how I read and study my Bible and I will be forever grateful. Can’t wait to hear more.
