BibleThinker

Mike Winger built BibleThinker on a promise: learn to think biblically about everything. And he means everything. Over 800 episodes in, he tackles apologetics, verse-by-verse Bible studies, controversial theological debates, and investigative deep dives with equal energy. His Friday Q&A sessions are a fan favorite -- listeners send in their hardest questions and Mike works through them live, often spending significant time on a single topic rather than rushing through a list. What makes Mike stand out is his willingness to go where the evidence leads, even when it challenges popular positions in the church. Recent episodes have included investigative journalism-style coverage of accountability issues in Christian organizations, which is unusual territory for a Bible study podcast. He approaches those topics with the same careful, evidence-based methodology he brings to exegesis. The audience trusts him for it -- 4.9 stars from nearly 3,000 ratings. His teaching style is methodical and thorough. He will pull up the Greek text, walk through multiple interpretive options, and explain why he lands where he does. Episodes can run long, but that is because he refuses to oversimplify complex passages. Mike operates independently, which means the content is driven by conviction rather than institutional pressure. If you want someone who treats the Bible as a book that can handle scrutiny and comes out stronger for it, BibleThinker delivers that consistently.
