How the Bible Was Formed E3 — Today, most Bibles are a single book that's easy to carry and flip through. But the Bible started as an assortment of scrolls, bound together into a collection. The Hebrew Bible—or the Old Testament—went through a centuries-long, iterative development process with a variety of scribes and prophets. It didn't come into its final form until roughly the time of Jesus. So how does this history interact with a view of Scripture as God's word? In this episode, Jon and Tim continue exploring the formation of the Bible, discussing how to hold a high view of these sacred texts while also acknowledging the humans who shaped them.

How the Bible Was Formed E2 — The Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, is a collection of 24 scrolls, passed down for generations, that tells the long, complicated story of ancient Israel. But who wrote these scrolls, and how did they come together in their final form? And how do we understand the claim that these books are the very voice of God? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the formation of the Hebrew Bible and the crew who shaped its stories, poems, and laws into intricately designed literary works.CHAPTERSThe First Writing Mentioned in the Torah (2:56-13:01)Prophets as a Spirit-Led, Multigenerational Literary Community (13:01-36:30)Divine Inspiration in a Diverse, Literary Mosaic (36:30-1:03:20)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Lost World Series by John H.

How the Bible Was Formed E1 — If you've ever compared a Protestant Bible to a Catholic Bible, you may notice some additional books in the Catholic Bible, such as Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, etc. These books, called the Deuterocanon by Catholics and the Apocrypha by Protestants, are Jewish Literature from the period after the Babylonian exile but before the time of Jesus. The Jewish people were back in the land, being ruled by Syria and other empires descended from Alexander the Great. As they read the Hebrew Bible, they created many new literary works, reflecting on stories in Scripture and what was happening in their own day. So how do we understand the status and value of these books when compared to the Hebrew Bible and New Testament? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the background, history, and content of this Second-Temple Jewish literature.CHAPTERSMultiple Bibles on the Shelf (00:00-21:10)History of the Protestant Apocrypha (21:10-34:35)How Jesus and the Apostles Engaged With These Books (34:35-43:05)Why We're Talking About the Deuterocanon/Apocrypha (43:05-57:36)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Old Testament Pseudepigrapha by James H.

This past Sunday at Myrtle House Community Church, Bill Chapman took us further along the road to Emmaus—following Jesus as He revealed how all of Scripture points to Him. Building on the last two weeks' teachings from Luke 24, we were invited to see the Bible not as a collection of disconnected stories, but as a divinely orchestrated, hyperlinked narrative with Jesus at its centre. Bill opened the morning with the striking image of a “Hyperlinked Bible”—a powerful visual of how every part of the Bible is interconnected. Each verse, each moment, each prophecy is tied together to magnify Jesus, revealing Him as Messiah, Saviour, and King. He referenced Tom Wright's “My Big Story Bible”, which beautifully simplifies these connections, helping even the youngest hearts see that the entire Bible is about one big story: God's rescue plan through Jesus. Luke 24:27 – The Emmaus Encounter “Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” This verse was at the heart of Bill's message: Jesus opened the Scriptures to show the disciples how every story pointed to Him. And He does the same for us today. A Journey Through Hyperlinked Scripture Bill reminded us that over 400 passages point directly to Jesus—some repeated, but at least 150 are unique. These are not random prophecies or coincidences. They are God's intentional hyperlinks, woven into the Bible to reveal a single, powerful truth: Jesus is the fulfilment of it all. Here are just a few examples he shared: Genesis 3:15 → 1 John 3:8 From the garden to the cross: Jesus came to destroy the devil's work. Genesis 12 → Galatians 3:8 The blessing promised to Abraham is fulfilled through Jesus for all nations. Leviticus 16:27 → Hebrews 13 The sacrificial system finds its completion in Jesus, once and for all. Numbers 21:4–9 → John 3:14–21 Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze snake to live, we look to Jesus and receive eternal life. Psalm 22 → John 19 & 2 Corinthians 5 Jesus' suffering on the cross was foretold in detail. He poured out His life for us. The Big Story: Heaven on Earth Bill also shared a video from The Bible Project that summed it all up: From beginning to end, the Bible tells the story of God's love and His mission to bring heaven to earth. The plan has always been restoration, and Jesus is the centrepiece of that plan. From Knowledge to Revelation It's not enough just to read the Bible. Like Cleopas and Mary on the road to Emmaus, we must let Jesus reveal Himself through Scripture. Bill challenged us: Are you just turning up to church? Or are you walking with the risen King, the one who conquered sin, death, and the devil? This isn't about information—it's about transformation. Make Your Choice “He came to make a way where there wasn't a way.” – Isaiah's Suffering Servant (Isaiah 42–55) Jesus' mission is everywhere in Scripture—and He is passionate about you. The question is: Will you choose to follow Him? Will you stay close, walk with Him, and allow Him to reveal Himself more and more? Cleopas and Mary did. Their hearts burned within them as Jesus spoke, and they couldn't wait to tell everyone. What about you? Final Encouragement Let's be people of the Word. Let's get excited about what God has done. Let's live with hearts on fire, walking with Jesus, understanding the hyperlinks in Scripture—and sharing the good news that every word leads to Him.
Daniel continues his dive into the cultural context of Genesis, trying to understand the way that words and culture affect the transmission of meaning, with help from Tim Mackie and John Walton in an interview they did a few years ago. Listen to the Bible Project with Walton Here: https://bibleproject.com/podcast/genesis-1-2-origins-or-identity/ Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belfast-podcast/id1472441982 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1s3aaP3pUkQKBVXbsP8Y34?si=ca588a6165424c61 Instagram: @thebelfastpodcast Email: belfastpodcast@gmail.com The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

Are you living in the 'already' but yearning for the 'not yet'? In this impactful message, we explore how heaven isn't just a distant destination but a present reality in our lives. Delve into the Christian life as an "already but not yet" existence, where we are caught in the tension between our current world and our eternal home. Despite the unknowns about heaven, the Bible mentions it over 450 times, urging us to keep eternity in perspective as we navigate our daily lives.This week in our series, "Heaven Revealed," we journey from Genesis to Revelation, uncovering how heaven touches earth through the story of creation, the tabernacle, and ultimately, Jesus. Discover how the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence makes every believer a living tabernacle, bringing little pockets of heaven to earth. As we await the full realization of our faith, we're reminded that transformation is ongoing, and God's kingdom is here amidst us, shaping us for the future promise.Join us as we walk through scripture and uncover the meaning behind living in this theological tension of the 'already but not yet.' We will explore how this impacts our everyday life and compels us to live as representatives of God's eternal kingdom today. Stay with us next week as we transition from understanding to practical application.At 2Rivers, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same.

The Exodus Way E12 (Bonus Interview) — If we come to the New Testament without much knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, we may think that baptism is just something that John the Baptist made up and Jesus carried on for new disciples. But there are multiple levels of meaning in this practice, including ritual purification, Israel's passage through the Red Sea, entry into the promised land, and, most importantly for Jesus, a symbol of his death on our behalf. In this episode, Jon and Tim have a wide-ranging conversation with prolific author and theologian N.T.

The Exodus Way E11 — After Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension, his followers grew into a movement known simply as “The Way”—a new exodus people delivered from sin and death, following the narrow way of Jesus through the wilderness of our present world and awaiting entry into a promised new creation. The Apostle Paul is a central figure in this movement, commissioned by the risen Jesus to spread the good news of the new exodus to the nations. He planted churches in several Roman cities and wrote letters to congregations of Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul was a Jewish man steeped in Israel's Scriptures, which is why we see him infusing Exodus language and imagery into his letters to the early Church. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Paul's letters to the churches in Corinth, Galatia, and Rome, discovering how Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Christian, and the larger story of creation as a cosmic exodus.View all of our resources for The Exodus Way →CHAPTERSRecap of Where We've Been (0:00-3:01)Exodus Imagery in 1 Corinthians 5 (3:01-14:03)Exodus Language in Galatians (14:03-31:41)The Cosmic Exodus in Romans 8 (31:41-44:33)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on the Epistles of St. Paul to the Corinthians by John ChrysostomPaul and His Story: (Re)Interpreting the Exodus Tradition by Sylvia KeesmaatYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Lilo” by The Field Tapes & Middle School“Loving Someone You Lost” by The Field TapesBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

The Exodus Way E10 — The Exodus story was core to the identity of ancient Israel. Inspired by the prophet Isaiah's words, 1st-century Israelites were awaiting a new exodus, where a new Moses-like figure would deliver them from Roman oppression. The gospels present Jesus as that figure, who saves people from sickness, hunger, spiritual oppression, and even death itself. And following Jesus' resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit, the early Jesus movement became known as “The Way,” carrying a message of salvation for all nations. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore how the new exodus people in the book of Acts embody the prophet Isaiah's vision.CHAPTERSRecap and Acts as an “Isaianic” New Exodus (0:00-9:44)Isaiah's New Exodus Language in Luke-Acts (9:44-26:18)Exodus and Acts' Shared Theme of the Victorious Creator God (26:18-35:03)A New Exodus for All Nations (35:03-45:24)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESActs and the Isaianic New Exodus by David W.

The Exodus Way E9 — All four gospel accounts build anticipation for Jesus to accomplish a new kind of exodus when he arrives in Jerusalem. But later in the gospel narratives, Jesus begins telling his disciples that he will be arrested and killed in Jerusalem before rising on the third day. So Jesus journeys to Jerusalem and confronts the religious establishment—notably only days before Passover! And before his arrest, he shares a Passover meal with his disciples and shockingly reinterprets the bread and wine to be about his coming death. What is Jesus doing, and how is his death related to the climactic Exodus event of Passover? In this episode, Jon and Tim trace the Holy Week story leading up to Passover and explore how Jesus' death fulfills the cosmic Exodus story of the Bible.

Send us a textWelcome'Welcome back to our ongoing series exploring the Book of Romans. In this episode, we turn our attention to Romans 2:1-16, where Paul shifts his focus from the obvious sins of the Gentile world to a more insidious problem—self-righteousness. Paul directly challenges those who consider themselves morally superior, warning that no one escapes God's judgment by comparing themselves to others. Instead, divine judgment is based on truth, works, and knowledge, leaving no room for excuses.Key Themes DiscussedThe Universal Nature of SinIn Romans 1, Paul established that all people are unrighteous before God.Romans 2 confronts those who assume they are exempt from judgment because of their religious or moral standing.The self-righteous individual, who looks down on others, is still without excuse.God's Judgment is Based on Truth (Romans 2:2-5)God does not judge based on appearances or reputation but on reality.Many people assume they are safe because of their perceived moral superiority.Paul warns against taking God's patience as a sign of His approval.God's Judgment is According to Works (Romans 2:6-11)Paul affirms that God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”Those who persist in good will receive eternal life, while those who reject truth will face wrath.This judgment is impartial—both Jews and Gentiles are accountable.God's Judgment is According to Knowledge (Romans 2:12-16)Those who sin without the Law will perish apart from it; those who sin under the Law will be judged by it.Paul highlights that even those without direct revelation have an internal moral compass, evidenced by their conscience.Ultimately, God will judge all people through Jesus Christ.The Wrath of GodPaul's teaching on divine wrath emphasizes that judgment is not arbitrary but the inevitable outcome of a life lived in rebellion against God. Throughout Scripture, God's wrath is seen as a necessary consequence of rejecting His holiness and righteousness.Old Testament Context: God's wrath was often tied to covenant violations and the oppression of Israel.Prophetic Warnings: The Day of the Lord was seen as a climactic moment of divine judgment.New Testament Perspective: Paul speaks of God's wrath as both a present reality and a future certainty.ConclusionSelf-righteousness blinds people to their need for God's grace. Paul dismantles the false security of those who judge others while ignoring their own sin. The message of Romans 2 is clear: no one is exempt from judgment, and all must seek repentance.Thank you for joining us for this episode. Stay tuned for the next installment in our Romans series as we continue to unpack Paul's powerful message about faith, grace, and salvation.Subscribe & Stay Connected!Follow us on your favorite podcast platformShare this episode with friends and familyEngage with me and the whole Bible Project daily Podcast communSupport the showFor an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Ever wonder why the Bible includes so many detailed instructions? In today's episode, God gives the Israelites specific jobs for carrying the Tabernacle, rules for staying pure, and a beautiful blessing over His people. At first glance, it might seem like a lot of rules—but when we dig in, we see something deeper. These chapters show us God's holiness, His order, and His care for His people. And the best part? It all points to Jesus. In this episode, we're talking about: How the Levites carried God's presence with reverence Why purity and holiness mattered (and still do!) The Nazarite vow and how it connects to Jesus The famous Priestly Blessing ("The Lord bless you and keep you…") — and what it means for us today! Plus, I'll share how reading the Bible chronologically with The Bible Recap and watching The Bible Project videos in order has been a total game-changer and how I believe it will be for each of you as we continue our studies together on OOBT!

The Exodus Way E7 — In Mark 14, we're told that Jesus and his disciples celebrated Passover and sang a hymn before going out to the garden of Gethsemane. So what hymn did they sing? Rabbinic tradition going back to the time of Jesus records that during Passover, Jewish people sang Psalm 113-118, a collection of songs known as the Passover Hallel. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these six psalms' references to the Exodus story and what they might have meant to Jesus on the night of the last supper.CHAPTERSWhat Hymn Did Jesus and His Disciples Sing at Passover?

Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.
The Exodus Way E6 — By the time of the prophet Isaiah, the Assyrian Empire had already exiled the northern kingdom of Israel. Isaiah prophesied that the southern kingdom of Judah would survive Assyrian attack but that a new empire, Babylon, would one day take Judah into exile because of their injustice and idolatry. Within this world of empires, oppressors, and exiles, Isaiah prophesied about a more cosmic, permanent Exodus to come for God's people. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the narrative beats of Exodus in Isaiah and how his prophetic images inspired the gospel writers.CHAPTERSEmpires in the Time of Isaiah (0:00-12:48)The Messiah's Ultimate Road in and Road Out in Isaiah 11 (12:48-32:19)The Highway of God in Isaiah 40 and a New Exodus in Isaiah 43 (32:19-51:05)A New Exodus of Repentance in Isaiah 58 (51:05-59:07)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Haunt Me Home (feat.

The Exodus Way E5 — By the time we get to the scroll of Joshua, the Israelites are preparing to enter the land of promise. But we quickly discover a reverse Exodus happening in the narrative. The Canaanite kings—who are depicted as new pharaohs—assemble with armies to meet Israel on the other side of the Jordan River. And in the midst of the story, a Canaanite woman in Jericho actually shows more faith than anyone! Then in the following scroll of Judges, the identity of the pharaohs shifts again—this time to the Israelites, who enslave themselves due to their own corruption and injustice. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss how Joshua and Judges hyperlink back to the Exodus Way narrative theme, while also pointing to a coming Messianic leader who can lead us out of exile, through the wilderness, and into a true land of inheritance.CHAPTERSRecap of the Theme So Far (0:00-6:50)The Surprising Story of Rahab (6:50-20:15)Canaanite Kings as the New Pharaohs in Joshua (20:15-41:09)Israelites as the New Pharaohs in Judges (41:09-49:40)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESBerit Olam: Joshua by L.

What if the Bible isn't meant to be neatly packaged and easily explained? In this episode, CHT Fellow Hakeem Bradley joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to discuss how engaging scripture means leaning into tension rather than eliminating it. He explains why asking better questions leads to deeper understanding and why forcing Jesus into every Old Testament passage can sometimes do more harm than good. Bradley also shares his personal story—growing up in the Five Percent Nation, a movement that sees the Black man as divine, and how a surprising mentorship relationship led him to faith in Jesus. His journey from deep skepticism to biblical scholarship gives him a unique perspective on how to approach scripture without assumptions or shortcuts. The conversation explores how biblical authors thought, why Jesus himself had to read scripture in context, and how reading the Bible as a tension-filled conversation—rather than a collection of easy answers—can reshape faith and theology.

The Exodus Way E3 — Before we get to the Exodus story, we must first ask a question: How and why did Israel end up enslaved in Egypt in the first place? Throughout the book of Genesis, the biblical authors seem to imply that Abraham's descendants land in Egypt because of their patriarch's failures to trust God and do right by others. In this episode, Jon and Tim highlight the Exodus beats in Abraham's story, showing how they not only anticipate Israel's exile in Egypt but also the larger Exodus story found throughout the whole Hebrew Bible.

The Exodus Way E2 — The main beats of the Exodus Way are the road out of slavery, the road through the wilderness, and the road into inheritance. These moments become a narrative theme that plays out over and over in the story of the Bible. We even see them show up in Genesis before the events of the Exodus even happen!

The Exodus Way E1 — Most followers of Jesus are familiar with three foundational biblical stories: the story of Jesus in the gospels, the creation story in Genesis, and the Exodus story. These narratives are referred to throughout the whole Bible, but the Exodus story is the most referenced story. Why is this narrative in Exodus so important? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a new series on the narrative theme of Exodus, what we're calling the “Exodus Way,” showing how this story shapes the Bible's whole view of reality.CHAPTERSWhat Is the Exodus, and Why Is It Important?

The Mountain Hyperlink Episode (E13) — If you've been following along in our series on the mountain, you may have had moments where you thought, “I feel like I've heard this before.” And that's because you have—we've been on this mountain before! There are so many themes in the Bible, from mountains to tabernacles, to tests and cities. And while we try to isolate and study themes on their own, the Bible intentionally weaves them together. So whenever you encounter one theme in the Bible, it's always connected to and building on other themes in a beautiful tapestry. Today, we're trying something new called a hyperlink episode, where we'll play clips from previous series that interact and overlap with the theme of the mountain.View all of our resources for The Mountain →CHAPTERS Apocalypse on the Mountain (0:00-11:28)A Mountain Refuge City (11:28-22:41)Priestly Failures on the Mountain (22:41-49:45)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESClip 1 is from “A Walking, Talking Apocalypse,” episode 5 in our 2020 series, Apocalyptic Literature.Clip 2 is from “Jerusalem: A Tale of Two Cities,” episode 9 in our 2023 series The City.Clip 3 is from “Doomed to Fail?” episode 3 in our 2021 series, The Royal Priest.Check out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Rest Until Dark” by Sleepy Fish“Canary Forest” by Middle School, Aso, & AviinoBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

The Mountain E12 — If Jesus' role as the promised mountaintop intercessor was unclear from the mountain stories in the Gospels, the author of the letter to the Hebrews wants to make it explicit. Drawing together imagery of Moses on Mount Sinai, the levitical priesthood, and the Old Testament sacrificial system, Hebrews declares that Jesus is the eternal high priest who can ascend to the holy mountain for the people through the blood of his own sacrifice.

The Mountain E11 — We've learned that mountains in the Hebrew Bible often become a space where Heaven and Earth overlap and human beings must choose between self-preservation or surrender and trust in God. The story builds our hope and expectation for a faithful intercessor on the mountain who can mediate God's blessings to the people below. As we turn to the New Testament, gospel writer Matthew is ready to spotlight who that faithful mountaintop intercessor is. In this episode, Jon and Tim walk through seven stories in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus prays, teaches, does miracles, and more—all on mountains.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Theme Recap and Overview of Matthew's Seven Mountains (0:00-17:42)Chapter 2: The Mountains of Testing and Teaching (17:42-29:44)Chapter 3: Two Mountains of Prayer and Feeding, Plus One of Transfiguration (29:44-42:15)Chapter 4: Mountains of Apocalypse and Commissioning (42:15-55:16)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesJesus on the Mountain: A Study in Matthean Theology by Terence DonaldsonCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Dreams Come True” by Drips Zacheer“Moonlite” by Nokiaa & Deauxnuts“Go Slow” by little blueBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

The Mountain E10 — The prophet Isaiah depicts Mount Zion as a cosmic mountain where Heaven and Earth overlap and God's blessings flow down to all of creation. But Isaiah also lived in the real Jerusalem that had Mount Zion at its center, which was filled with corruption, injustice, and idolatry. So in his prophecies, he balances hope in this future new Eden with warnings of judgment on Jerusalem's proud and corrupt elites. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the many iterations of the mountain theme in Isaiah 2-4, including how Jesus and his disciples embody the imagery of Isaiah's anointed servant and the remnant community.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: The Ideal and Corrupt Mount Zion, Leading to Judgment (0:00-22:55)Chapter 2: A Day of Yahweh Against the Rich, Powerful, and Proud (22:55-32:32)Chapter 3: A Holy Remnant on a Renewed Mount Zion (32:32-53:40)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Bimmer M6” by Kreatev“Sunlight (feat.

The Mountain E9 — The mountain theme shows up again and again in biblical narrative, but it's also prominent in the Psalms. Particularly in Psalms 15-24, the biblical authors reflect on the traits of the one who can ascend and dwell on God's holy mountain. At first, this question focuses on King David and his royal successors as they endure suffering, despair, and ultimately vindication, which leads to blessing for Israel and the nations. But eventually, it's not just the Davidic king but a whole community of the faithful ascending the mountain! In this episode, Jon and Tim survey the mountain theme through the Psalms scroll and reflect on what it takes to be with God there.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Recap of Where We've Been (0:00-10:21)Chapter 2: Psalm 2: God's Anointed One on a Mountain (10:21-19:34)Chapter 3: Psalms 15-24: The King and His Crew Ascend the Mountain (19:34-51:05)Chapter 4: A Hyperlink in Revelation 2 to Psalm 2 (51:05-1:02:39)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesThe Arrival of the King: The Shape and Story of Psalms 15-24 by Carissa QuinnCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Sum Sum” by Ben Bada Boom“Sunkissed Cycles” by lloom“Astér” by KissamiléBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

The Mountain E8 — On two different mountains, we witness mountain tests with two very different Elijahs. On Mount Carmel, he partners with God in challenging the false prophets of Baal, leading to the people's repentance and renewal of trust in God. But then only a chapter later, Elijah is on Mount Sinai accusing the people and loathing his prophetic calling. Why the sudden shift? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the contrasting mountain test stories of 1 Kings 18-19, reflecting on the human tendency toward fear, condemnation, and false narratives—even after great success.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Recap of the Series So Far (0:00-9:53)Chapter 2: Elijah Tests the People on Mount Carmel (9:53-32:36)Chapter 3: Elijah Fails the Test on Mount Sinai (32:36-53:06)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Surrender (Instrumental)” by Beautiful Eulogy“Movement” (artist unknown)BibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

The Mountain E7 — After King David's failures, we hope that his son Solomon will fare better on the cosmic mountain of Mount Zion. And initially, he does! In a cosmic mountain moment when God offers to give him anything he wants, he humbly asks only for wisdom to discern good from bad. In response, God gives him wisdom plus material blessing, leading to an era of unparalleled abundance and peace in the cosmic mountain city of Jerusalem. During this time, the king builds a splendorous temple on Mount Zion. But with no limits on his power or resources, Solomon soon compromises. Slave labor, hundreds of wives, foreign gods—what happened here? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Solomon's highs and lows, exploring how too much good can corrupt even the wisest of leaders.View more resources on our website →TimestampsChapter 1: Wisdom and Great Abundance (0:00-20:56)Chapter 2: Prosperity and Compromise (20:56-39:42)Chapter 3: Further Compromise and Downfall (39:42-53:49)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“The Turnaround” by UpsiDown“Astér” by KissamiléBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
