The Whole Holy Bible in a Year podcast has been an absolute blessing in my life. I stumbled upon it in late 2022 when I was searching for a fresh way to engage with the Bible, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The commitment to reading the entire Holy Bible in a year is awe-inspiring, and I am incredibly grateful for the program that has been designed for 2023. The podcast format adds a new dimension to experiencing the Word of God, and I appreciate every volunteer and staff member who has contributed to this tremendous undertaking.
One of the best aspects of The Whole Holy Bible in a Year podcast is the personality that shines through in the reading of the Old Testament scriptures by the gentleman whose voice and tone make them come alive. His passion for the material is evident, and it adds an extra layer of enjoyment to each episode. Additionally, Pastor Mike Drop Live on Wednesdays is a highlight for me as well. The teachings presented are insightful and thought-provoking, leaving me with a deeper understanding of God's word. It truly feels like having a new family in West Des Moines, even though I have never visited there.
However, there is one aspect of this podcast that could be improved upon. The introduction of the new reader on March 6 was difficult to understand due to their unclear enunciation and odd inflection. While this may be a minor issue, it does impact the overall listening experience. Nonetheless, it does not overshadow the incredible value that this podcast brings.
In conclusion, The Whole Holy Bible in a Year podcast has become an integral part of my daily routine. As someone with a demanding schedule as a poultry farmer in Michigan, finding time to read God's teachings can be challenging. This podcast has been a game-changer for me by providing convenience while still allowing me to deepen my faith and learn new skills along the way. I am immensely grateful for everyone involved in creating this podcast and extend my heartfelt thanks to them. May God's blessings continue to shine upon the team at Hope and my friend Leanne, who introduced me to this wonderful program.
