We believe that the Bible is the written word of God. However, there is an idea that scripture can be understood and applied based on who is reading it. With this podcast we want to dig deeper into Bible stories and understand what the Scriptures meant to the audience of that time and what it means to us now as XYZers. We say XYZers because the host of this podcast are Chris (Gen X), Moyo (Gen Y) and Jasmine (Gen Z). Each host is at a different place in their walk with Christ but all have a desire to grow closer to God by understanding the words He's already laid out for us.

About

We believe that the Bible is the written word of God. However, there is an idea that scripture can be understood and applied based on who is reading it. With this podcast we want to dig deeper into Bible stories and understand what the Scriptures meant to the audience of that time and what it means to us now as XYZers. We say XYZers because the host of this podcast are Chris (Gen X), Moyo (Gen Y) and Jasmine (Gen Z). Each host is at a different place in their walk with Christ but all have a desire to grow closer to God by understanding the words He's already laid out for us.
