Bible Buds - podcast cover

Bible Buds

Bible Buds is a series of light-hearted conversations between two friends in Portland, OR about the Bible from a non-Christian perspective. Both Dan and Andrew grew up in the church, but neither of them identifies as Christian today. However, as spiritual seekers, both Dan and Andrew still find there to be some deep, universal truths sprinkled throughout the Bible, as well as some hilarious claims, translations, misinterpretations, and prose.
