Bible Unbound

Austin Smithβ€’bible-unbound.simplecast.com
Your Bible pulsates with the kinetic energy of thousands of years, 66 books, 40 authors, 3 continents, 2 languages! It has space wizards, and dragons, and knights, and scientists, and detectives. It is a wild, wild epic. And it all tells the story of how the God that created it all is redeeming it back to Himself. Your Bible is a whole universe waiting to be explored. So grab a cup of coffee, crack open your Bible, because we want to explore it together. There are some really confusing things in your Bible that we want to make sense of, too. We don't have Bible degrees or think we're right about everything. We just have a love for this incredible transcendant epic.
