A Must Listen
Randomly came across this podcast on social media and was blown away by the first episode. The host is very good at breaking down Bible passages and provoking thoughtful considerations about the passages and how there are multiple layers to them. The co-hosts that are different each episode offer different perspectives while still coming from a place of good faith and wanting to discuss the nuances of the Bible and the underlying message of radical compassion and standing with the oppressed within it. Usually I find Christian podcasts or videos to have an underlying sleaziness akin to 1980s televangelists, but this podcast has a very earnest and heartfelt air to it, which is very refreshing.
