If you have watched one of BibleProject’s animated videos explaining a book of the Bible, you will recognise the approach of its podcast: slow, careful conversations that trace a single idea from Genesis to Revelation.
Who makes it
BibleProject is a non-profit studio based in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2014 by Bible scholar Tim Mackie and writer Jon Collins. It is best known for its free animated videos, which have been watched by millions and translated into many languages. The podcast grew out of the conversations behind those videos.
What to expect
Episodes are long-form discussions organised into series on biblical themes, such as the image of God, the “day of the Lord,” wisdom, or sacrifice. Rather than offering quick devotional thoughts, the hosts read passages closely, look at the original Hebrew and Greek words, and show how later parts of the Bible pick up earlier ones.
Who it suits
It is especially good for Bible study leaders, preachers and anyone who wants to understand how the whole Bible tells one story about Jesus. Newcomers may find it easiest to start with a series that matches a video they have already watched.
How to listen
The podcast is free on major podcast apps, and BibleProject also publishes videos, reading plans and study notes on its website and app.
