This really helps prove the Bible! These stones are speaking!

I love this! It is such a blessing for everyone! We can listen to this and see the Bible come alive! It’s real! These things happened and we can see it and touch it. This history is being dug up and we can walk those paths that are written about throughout the Bible! Thank you so much for this!

One of the most important informative podcasts available!

This truly is one of the most important podcasts and shows people (of all ages) should be listening to here on Apple Podcasts. You will learn so much history, archeology, culture, religious truths, and there’s always something new to learn or discover in each episode. I also subscribe to their bi monthly magazine subscription and always enjoy the articles and photographs within them. I recommend everyone who enjoys these podcasts to visit their official website and learn more about their excavations, research, interactive maps and illustrations, and check out more of their documentaries and publications.

Order their free official magazine as well! It does a beautiful job of guiding you along your journey of learning more about the church behind this organization; while supporting the researchers and professionals facilitating these excavations and publications free to the public.

Great job on the podcast! Keep them coming!!

Fantastic Resource!

This podcast is exactly what I’ve been I’ve wanted to find for a long time. It’s exciting to not only hear about the latest archaeological discoveries that continue to support the historicity of the Biblical text, but to hear commentary about the finds and why they are significant. I don’t always have time to read the articles that get released about these discoveries, so having a resource that allows me to learn while on my commute is so valuable! I look forward to many future episodes!
