This podcast has taught me so much about the Bible and brought me closer to God at the same time.

I have gotten so much out of listening to this podcast over the past couple of years. Undoubtedly, I will be listening to it for a long time to come. I highly recommend anyone interested in a well-researched, extensive, complex podcast centered on Jesus and the Bible to check it out. Love the work you all are doing; please keep it up!

I was noticing that my relationship with God wasn’t very strong so I decided to try a podcast and came across the bible project. I love this podcast and I love looking at the bible deeply but have a read and comprehension difficulty so I’m unable to do it myself but listening to this podcast makes me still able to look deeply into the bible. I am watching every single episode from the beginning and wake up at 7:00 am so I have enough time to listen to one episode before school. thank you for making this podcast.

I don’t go to church because I don’t like sermons. I don’t like the biases given. I enjoy listen and get value as I read the Bible and gain education and alternative perspective. Great listen. Thank you!!! Keep going !!!

I have been a Christian for close to 55 years, and the Bible Project has allowed me to see everything about God and the Bible in a deeper and more hopeful way. It has motivated me to study more, worship more, and “love God with all my heart, soul, and strength and love my neighbor as myself.” Thank-you

Really have enjoyed this podcast since my pastor recommended it to me. Sermon on the Mount series was really well done and thoughtful.

I stumbled across this pod while looking for something else, and started listening to the Dragons series. These guys present the information in an informative way with a friendly manner. Giving me a lot to think about.

I have to thank God so much for this podcast, I know it’s 2024 almost 2025, but I just started this and it’s amazing. It’s good to think, discuss, and discover the Bible.

Recent subscriber, loved the podcasts from Nov-Dec 2024. Went back to listen to The Sermon on the mount series. Very disappointed with the female “pastor”, which is completely at odds with Paul’s writings. Furthermore, the quoting of a gender-neutral translation, which also exhibited some other oddities, turned me off completely. I love you folks, and I’ll continue with current episodes. Forgive me, but I’m a stickler for literal translations, and that all of the words in the Bible have meaning. Shalom.

Overall, just painful to listen to.

Maybe BP Groupies. Its two people discussing their thoughts.

I’m 13 and just wanna say ur podcasts have been helping me a lot with being a Cristian and growing closer to god

I absolutely love this show. Tim is SO knowledgeable. But…..Tim, when I listen to the rhythm of your speech, it’s like trying to teach a teenage girl how to drive a stick shift. You take pauses in the most inopportune places.

I have loved these videos forever and, in doing some research on a biblical theme, found that they have a podcast too! Really well done, informative, I would recommend this podcast to anyone.

The Bible is the greatest story ever written. Jon and Tim talk , and talk and talk it over and we are lucky enough to eavesdrop on these knowledgeable, insightful, sometimes kooky conversations. Thanks, guys. Please never stop.

My favorite podcast! As a long time Christian, this still has me thinking about the Bible in new ways and seeing more and more of beauty of the gospel! Thank you for this podcast!

I’m not old enough to be asking some of these questions but we use your YouTube videos for my youth group and it’s really helpful thank you so much ❤️

Explains the Bible in the way I can understand it

Makes understanding the Bible fun and helps me look at the contexts of the Bible in a whole new way.

Word by word explanation of the Bible.

Thank you guys for your devils advocate discussion, asking & addressing great questions I’ve always had in my mind, nice to know I’m not alone with these questions.

I’ve been listening to Bible Project for years. I learn so much from all the discussions and enjoy the depth of knowledge offered. I love that it’s all listener supported and appropriate for all ages and helps new believers and aged believers alike. I really enjoy the fun they seem to have over there too. It’s very inviting. 🙂

This podcast is a true blessing. I have a two hour ride each way to work. This podcast allows me to have a Bible study in my car as I’m driving to work learn and grow closer to the Lord. . This park has been a huge game changer in my life learning more and more each time I turn it on and inspiring me to open up my Bible and read it more often take my time do word, searches on each thing and ask questions. I love how knowledgeable all the hosts are and every single person that works on the BibleProject is I love all the notes that come along with the courses that they discuss, and all the resources that are available to you through the Bible project.

I’m so thankful for the Holy Spirits evident influence and anointing on the Bible Project! I’ve learned so much, and have been able to have a deeper and more meaningful walk with Jesus. Thank you!

Love Bible project so much

The team at Bible Project is amazing. Their ability to unpack the themes of the Bible and show the connections to help us shift away from a western viewpoint approach is truly remarkable.

I first stumbled upon the BibleProject content via the short illustrated videos when a friend suggested that their podcasts were her favorite. What a tremendous gift that conversation was! I’ve been listening to the podcasts now for the past 3 years or so and look forward to the new release every week, especially with the focus on the Sermon on the Mount, and then within that series, the 5 episodes on the Our Father gave me a deep appreciation for a prayer that I thought I knew. This podcast series has given me a better understanding of the Hebrew Bible and how it all fits into one interwoven story that leads to Jesus. Thanks to the entire BibleProject team as my life has been enriched by your works.

This podcast, the in app Torah Reading Journey, the One Year Bible Reading plan, their videos, and the classes have transformed my relationship with God and the Bible! I am so thankful to the Youversion app for reminding about The Bible Project one year ago and for the incredible resource the BP team has created since 2014. The podcast episodes give you a chance to really dig deep into God’s word. They are what started in me a deep curiosity and excitement for reading the Bible and the Holy Spirit does the rest! I think my new dream job is to work at the Bible Project!

This podcast suffers by wasting time at the beginning back-and-forth, each person finishing the sentence of the other, woman is more masculine than both,effeminate males. Do not listen to this podcast. They waste too much time.

Such quality biblical content! I love the thoughtful analysis. Jon questions things from all angles, and Tim responds with such amazing depth. These two and their team are such a gift! Thanks for doing such meaningful Kingdom work.

Nothing else really to say. It’s just really good.👍🏻

The Bible Project helps to explain the Bible in a way that is so deep and spiritual but in easy to understand words. I am so grateful for this project and those who have made it possible!

If you started listening in 2024 during the Sermon on the Mount series and you’re not into it, I would highly recommend trying out earlier episodes. The format, tone, content, and types of conversations in the SotM series is very different from their usual. I noticed a listener said they really didn’t get anything deep from the SotM section they listened to, and I totally get that. So if you’re new and curious about past episodes, some of my personal favorites are “The Character of God” series and “Taking God’s Name in Vain? With Dr. Carmen Imes”.

As soon as you started in Matthew all the rest of your studies came to life in such a spectacular way! Thank you, for your faithfulness.

🤍✌🏻

I love you guys! I have learned so much from listening to this podcast! Your knowledge is amazing to me! Thank you for what yall do !! Kim from Nebraska

Thank you for this podcast and especially the series on the Sermon on the Mount!

The more I listen to this podcast the more frequently my response becomes jumping up and down praising God for how amazing he is and how thankful I am for His Word

This review section is a good example of Mathew 13:9. “He who has ears, let him hear”. Not only does Tim Mackie expound on scripture but then Jon reiterates it in a more common way. The wisdom found in these conversations is extremely enlightening, wow. The Bible project/Tim Mackie has answered SO many questions. You two are a gift. Thank you!!

I get so much out of these conversations between John and Tim! Makes me think about what I believe and have been taught in the past. I prefer the uncut versions of their conversations because I can follow their thought process through. In the edited version I miss out on how they got to their conclusions.

Bible project podcast series are the best! So much in depth information. I look forward to a new podcast each week! Thank you for an amazing resource that makes the Bible so relevant to today.

I saw a review that said the hosts don’t answer the questions directly. I think when they do not answer it’s intentional! I believe there to be far more nuance than we realize in scripture. They seem very genuine and hold an open opinion when needed .i find this podcast is filled with humility and curiosity to the Bible and that is my favorite thing about it! ❤️

I have been a Bema Discipleship podcast listener for a couple of years but wanted to continue to learn from more people. This Bible Project podcast and videos were mentioned many times in the Bema podcasts to be great sources of information. Now I see why. These guys answer tough questions and concepts with grace and clarity. I have loved everything that I have heard to date and can't wait to hear all they have to say.

I really wanted to like this podcast but I continue to walk away from episodes, or stop listening in the middle because I’m never actually learning anything about the Bible! An excessive amount of time is spent dissecting the literal translation of each and every word in multiple languages that the entire discussion becomes about interpretation and not the actual biblical topic. I understand the interpretations are important, but I very seldom walk away lifted by the actual Word.

The Bible Project is good at exploring numerous topics concerning the Christian Bible and Christian Theology, and adding nuances whenever necessary (though sometimes they aren’t good at this, see below). The hosts are, however, very talkative and usually don’t answer a question from a questioner directly. They also lack nuances on some topics, but I don’t think it’s often as far as I can remember. Besides that, I don’t have any real complaints. Thanks for reading this, and may God bless you!

What did Jesus take away from the snake-devil in genesis

I love listening to these deep dives on various Biblical topics while I work. It has helped me better understand how intentional the Biblical authors were when they were putting together the Bible which is so cool to learn more about! I am going through from the beginning and working on getting caught up to the more recent episodes. I love how much knowledge that Tim brings to the table and how John asks all the questions that I’m thinking and summarizes things in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you for all that y’all do to put these together!

The constant feedback of the “listening” host with the “yea” “um” “yes, yes” “right” gets very annoying. The host not doing the primary talking should be quiet!! Don’t give active feedback after each comment.

I have listen, loved and financially supported The Bible Project for years... that said I am deeply concerned with my favorite "bible nerd" Tim continuing to label the land in Jesus day- through the 'Sermon on the Mount' series as Palestine. That is factually INCORRECT. I have emailed the show repeatedly only to receive a form letter responses. It is a shame that this wonderful organization doesn't seem to care about alternative opinions. Furthermore, the "non-violence" at all costs for Christians as a mandate from Jesus is an opinion I do not share. I hope Tim and Jon never face an intruder with a weapon threatening their wife and/or kids....context matters. This passive approach is how the Christian communities in these United States have failed. Now we are in an absolute mess. We are to be a light, live in God's truth and rebuke non biblical behavior- in love but stand firmly against it all the same. WE ARE CALLED TO BE ACTIVE.

I have a story of forgiveness in my own life which over the years I have told and have discovered in the telling that with Jesus, there is no formula. He asks us to forgive regardless of the relationship after and in spite of the fact that the other person never apologizes or repents. And if we do that, we are free of the burden of their sin. I love how you guys are not weakening the argument that we are called to forgive—no matter what. Because that is where the power is.I hear so many people just trying to say that Jesus didn’t mean it in certain situations, or in my situation. Great podcast!
