Your Jesus Journey Daily Bible Podcast with Pastor Thad
Have you ever felt lost trying to read the Bible? Maybe you feel stuck in your faith and just aren't sure where to go next. You're not alone. I'm Pastor Thad, and this is The Daily Bible Podcast. Every day, we'll dive into the books of the Bible, exploring the rich history, culture, and language that bring these ancient texts to life. With over 20 years of teaching experience and time spent in Israel and Turkey, I'll share what I've learned to help you connect with the bigger picture and discover things that aren't so obvious for us modern readers. The Bible isn't just for Sunday; it's our daily guide, so let's get to it.
