“The most important resource in my faith outside of my Bible has been this podcast. Actually, I wouldn’t even call this a podcast, these episodes are lessons and teachings, not just unstructured conversations.”

“From start to finish season 5, BEMA offers a way of understanding both the Bible and Christianity in a different way. There are so many things I never have heard any good teaching on, and there really are a lot more to the Bible than the “traditional” Christian way offers. Thank you for the whole...”Read full review »
