But is it Biblical?
A weekly podcast and Bible study hosted by Glen & Lydia Farell. They are a married couple from Texas, discussing traditional evangelical church beliefs and answering the question "But is it Biblical?" to determine if the belief is truly taught in the Bible. If you attend an evangelical or protestant church, this podcast is for you! Heck, even if you don't, come on in and stay awhile. Explore what the Bible truly says (or doesn't say) about topics, including those pesky ones that the church tends to ignore or gloss over. Learn how to properly translate and interpret passages based on the culture, context, author intent, and audience of the Biblical writings. Get familiar with how to use https://www.blueletterbible.org/ , a Bible study resource.
