Big Ol' Bible Podcast
Hosted by Paul Watson · EN
Paul and Jim are self-described “bible nerds” who decided to turn their twisty, turny conversations about the Bible into a podcast which seeks to tell the story of Scripture with an eye toward the Big Picture. As in, the Big Picture of human existence on earth and the Big Picture of each of our lives.
Along the way, we will tell the story in its own historical & literary context, bringing out “hidden gems” of textual goodness buried in layers of time and history. But ultimately, this a Bible podcast by laymen, for laymen. Whether you are abeliever or not, the Bible has something to teach you.
