I have been in church most of my life and considered my knowledge of the Bible pretty good. But was I wrong! I knew surface level Bible until I started this podcast. I wanted one that I could listen to on my hour commute to work. And listen through 1 and 2 Kings that way. I found so much info I didn’t know that I found myself wishing I was able to write the info down( cause that’s how I retain info) so I got a note book and started at Genesis! I have shared it so many of my church friends and now they listen too. I love that we all started in different places and can discuss. I thank you for starting my deep dive into the Bible, and feeling my relationship with God! ❤️

Thank you for explaining the bible to me. I was saved when i was younger but fell away from jesus. I was having a hard time with my family and my own issues for what felt like forever. I saw a youtube ad saying give God 30 seconds and i did. In the video it was a Bible that had only 2 tabs one saying family and the other for personal growth. I felt overwhelmed. There were a few smaller signs that God wanted me back before that but i ignored them. I could not ignore that message. I started praying and i searched for a way for me to learn while im at work. Your podcast means so much to me thank you very much. About a month after i started praying again ive had 2 HUGE blessings. So thank you thank your podcast and thank God.

I started listening a few weeks ago and cannot get enough. I’m learning so much. Jenn is anointed, smart , while being engaging and inspiring. She is so knowledgeable and makes me look at scripture differently. She is truly a gift!

I’ve been binging this show for about a week and can’t get enough! Luckily for me we are season 8 so I can go to past seasons. I love the length of the episodes (15-25 minutes). I love how deeply she dives into the Bible, the history, the Law, etc. It is very understandable. And I love her voice! She made a joke about a boy mocking her voice when she was a child and I think he was way off, I love her voice. It’s easy to listen to, relaxing while still engaging. Highly recommend!
