Book Keeper

by Longview

Megan Phelps-Roper was raised inside one of the most infamous religious communities in America. More than a decade after she left, and now a mother herself, she's returning to the Bible — not to reclaim belief, but to ask a harder question: What’s worth keeping?

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’d listen to Megan talk about anything! Her voice is so soothing and engaging and she always talks in a vulnerable and thought provoking way. I appreciate her personal insight and the way she leaves it all on the table without judgement.

I really enjoy how Megan ties her own experiences into each bible story and her struggles with her past church affiliations. I believe a lot of people that have a similar history with aggressive Christian upbringing could benefit from this podcast. It really helps to normalize and reframe the internal conflicts that we all have between what we were taught as children and what we understand today.

I was not raised/am not currently a Christian, but I am fascinated by the stories of the Bible, and I like learning about them in a historical context. This show shares the stories in such a thoughtful way. Well done!

I have been waiting for the Bible to be shared like this. The dichotomy of ideas within the Bible, historical context along side current cultural ideas long forgotten they are attached to biblical references, and how your own perspective shapes Jesus into a bully or social justice advocate. Well done!!!
