Podcasts

  • The Bible Project has a YouTube channel dedicated to making the Bible easier to understand. It delves into the original Hebrew and Greek language, illustrates key concepts, and summarizes books of the Bible. TBP also produces two podcasts:
  • Reasonable Faith provides an “intelligent, articulate, and uncompromising yet gracious Christian perspective on the most important issues concerning the truth of the Christian faith today.”
  • RELEVANT Magazine’s podcast covers everything from new worship releases and Christian writers to pop culture and current events and more.
  • That Sounds Fun is author Annie F. Down’s space for things she finds fun (books, baking shows, home decor) and things that challenge all of us (justice, addiction and sobriety, slavery).
  • Unbelievable? asks questions about Christianity “with the intention to openly discuss different opinions between Christians and non-believers.”
  • If you want “a better understanding of what you believe and why you believe it,” White Horse Inn might help: it hopes to help a new generation of believers learn and apply the Gospel through conversations with Christians from a variety of traditions.
  • In It helps parents who are raising kids who learn and think differently by sharing interviews with parents and experts with the aim of providing resources or at least companionship.
  • Struggling with decision fatigue, second-guessing, or uncertainty? The Next Right Thing will “create a little space for your soul to breathe” and discern your next step.
