Stories from the Bible

Jennifer Mary

Is there a God? What is he like? Is it possible to know him? Does he care about me? We might think it’s impossible to know the answers for certain. And yep, we'd be right if we humans were left on our own to work it out. But we haven't been. God has shown us what he is like, and he's told us how we can know him. He's done this by interacting directly with people over thousands of years, and giving us a record, called the Bible. This podcast aims to chronologically tell the stories of some of those interactions.
