The Bible is the most read book ever, but for many it is merely fiction. Join our conversation as we connect the dots to reveal that the story of the Bible is not only true, it's better than fiction.

You Keep Using That Word...
(Genesis 34:1-12) There's wacky, there's crazy, there's ill-advised, and there's foolish. But then, there's outrageous. As we discover, it's a word with strong meaning.

I May Have Gone Too Far
(Genesis 34:1-12) Jacob may be done running from Esau, but his troubles are far from over. A terrible thing is done to his family, and we look at the question of: "Who is to blame?"
-
The Cliffs of Mount Arbel
(Genesis 33:12-20) For all their wisdom and knowledge, Matt and Nathan demonstrate that they don't know about Biblical geography.
-
Red Dead Redemption
(Genesis 33:12-18) We look back at a curious verse and ponder it's meaning. Is really it true that God hates baby Esau?

Name of Mufasa's Wife
(Genesis 33:12-18) When you are traveling through a land named literally after your brother, it helps to have his name to back you up. Too bad Jacob does the exact opposite of that.
-
What I've Done
(Genesis 33: 4-11) Thing are not going the way Jacob had planned, but in a good way.

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!

One of the things that I appreciate about this podcast is that it covers a wide range of topics and themes. 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!
