This ain’t your pastor’s Bible podcast.
Each episode takes a closer look at the text—what it actually says, what it doesn’t, and how those ideas get used in the real world.
WHY IT WORKS
Dan McClellan brings the scholarship—clear, data-driven, and grounded in the text.
Dan Beecher brings curiosity, wit, and the questions listeners are already thinking.
Together, they break down complex ideas in a way that’s smart, accessible, and genuinely fun to listen to.
