The Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I started out listening to this podcast back when it all began. Back in the Matthew days. Back then, I got behind and couldn’t get caught back up easily…so I abandoned it. Then I would pick it back up with the next season, and then wouldn’t keep up, would abandon it again, and on and on. Now, here we are in 2025 and I’m back with a vengeance!! And guess what the perk of abandoning this podcast for years is? I can BINGE IT ALL whenever I want!! This podcast is a delight to have in my ears in the mornings when I am cleaning and doing all of the household things. I laugh during pretty much every episode, my understanding of biblical geography and history and knowledge in general has grown significantly, and I LOVE having the backstory and the perspective of the original audience. I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. I binged Galatians and caught up in a matter of days, and now I’m going back to binge Esther. They’re SO good!! Matt has become my “morning chore time friend”. I get lost in the story and it makes doing chores so much more delightful. Thanks for all you do, Matt!! The amount of effort you put into doing this work for us is not taken for granted. If you’re on the fence about listening, I say go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

I have listened to most of the series on Matthew and I have learned so much about historical context and how the text would have been read originally. I have a lot more confidence when reading Matthew now that I’m getting the intended meaning. This is from someone who has attended Christian churches for 29 years. I love Matt’s perspective and openness to any question or doubt or viewpoint about the Bible.

2 years later edit: Also it’s like the Bible for dummies which is fun but once in a while there are these incredibly formative moments where I have to listen to the episode multiple times. Thanks Matt!

This podcast is truly a breath of fresh air. Matt clearly states he’s here to share information and knowledge from the Bible and does so in a way that doesn’t push his own beliefs on others. He approaches the Bible from a historical perspective which helps give context to the passages. The bite-sized episodes keep me from getting bogged down and keeps me interested! Highly recommend.

This podcast is awesome! Funny, deep dive daily Bible. If lives up to the expectations. Matt is a smart and fun to be around companion on the journey through the Bible and it’s well worth it to spend a few minutes with him daily.
