BibleProject

Tim Mackie and Jon Collins have spent ten years building something genuinely unique in Bible education, and this podcast is the beating heart of it. With over 500 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from more than 19,000 reviewers, BibleProject is not just popular -- it is reshaping how an entire generation reads Scripture. The format is deceptively simple: two friends sit down and talk about the Bible. But Tim is a biblical scholar with serious academic credentials, and Jon asks exactly the kind of questions a thoughtful non-expert would ask. The result is conversations that go surprisingly deep without ever making you feel lost. They trace themes across the entire biblical narrative, showing how individual passages connect to the larger story that points toward Jesus. Recent episodes have worked through books like Jude and explored Second Temple literature -- the kind of context most churches skip entirely but that completely changes how you understand what the New Testament writers were doing. They also spend time on Hebrew word studies, breaking down how ancient language shapes meaning in ways English translations can miss. The podcast pairs with BibleProject's famous animated videos, but it stands on its own. Episodes run about an hour and come out weekly with full transcripts and show notes. If you grew up thinking Bible study had to be either dry academics or shallow devotional fluff, this show will change your mind. It is rigorous, accessible, and genuinely fun to listen to.
