Exploring My Strange Bible - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am so thankful for Dr Mackie and this podcast. His clear and direct teaching of scripture and his reasoning, background and humility are needed. His love of the Hebrew Bible and his teaching have made me better know YHWH and his character. It is as relevant to me as a Christian as the NT

I use Dr Mackie’s podcasts here and on Bible Project to grasp the big picture , glean other resources and borrow an eye opening phrase or two (with attribution) as I prepare weekly lectures for my Community Bible Study class in Houston, Texas. This year we are studying the gospel of Matthew one chapter per week. Listening to Mackie’s teaching makes me nerd out with him on Scripture and always unwraps some golden ticket of delight and illumination I had not seen on my own. I have no formal training so Dr Mackie is the perfect teacher. Thanks , Tim.

Tim knows the Bible well and is very good at explaining it. He also makes it enjoyable and he’s funny. I wanted to learn the culture and the meanings of the original words written. I wanted to dive deeper than I could on my own or with a study Bible. This is exactly what I was looking for. Other pastors read one verse from the Bible and preach for an hour about their opinions on modern day life. This is not that. This is actually seeking to know Jesus and God without making assumptions.

I love this podcast so much. Tim breaks down scripture in ways I’ve never seen, and he has truly changed the way I comprehend the Bible. Once you start listening to it you won’t be able to put it down. I’m so grateful for this amazing resource <3
