Answers to the right questions
So much of the Bible is mysterious to my western mind. Sensational and supernatural don’t always jive with my scientific method thinking, but as a Christian, I believe the Bible is true. I’ve struggled to reconcile and connect the dots in some hard passages. I’m still catching up with episodes, but so far it’s been just what I have been looking for. The weirdness of the Bible looked at through believing eyes, not just skeptical eyes.
Awesome!

I have learned much about how various Bible passages and stories' historical context, cultural significance, and spiritual significance tie together. The hosts also do a great job of breaking down complex theological concepts into more accessible language that anyone can understand.
Overall, I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Bible in a fun and engaging way. The Better Than Fiction Bible podcast is a true gem, and I look forward to each new episode with great anticipation!
