Details

Reading the Bible shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun! Grab your cup of coffee and tune in to The Bible Explained podcast, where Jenn explains the Bible in a simplistic, approachable way. Launched in 2020, this podcast does not follow "the Bible in a year" format - it's more like "The Bible in a decade." Each weekday morning, you will hear Jenn read and discuss Scripture in a way that you (probably) have never experienced before. Touted by many listeners as "The best Bible-reading podcast out there," you won't regret tuning in, especially if you are looking to deepen your knowledge about the Bible. For coffee drinkers only. (Just kidding.) Jenn's goal is to present the Bible in a simplistic way using biblical cross-references, ancient history, and the Hebrew/Greek language.
