Bible in a Year (The Story) Podcast

Bible in a Year (The Story) podcast features Professor Rachel Bodell, a marketing storyteller who teaches marketing, innovation, and leadership at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (BIOLA University). She will not only read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation in one year, but she will share all the resources that have helped her to understand the Bible as one unfolding connected story along the way through short commentaries and reflections from biblical scholars, most of which read original biblical languages like Hebrew and Greek (e.g., Dr. Tim Mackie, N.T. Wright, Dr. Carmen Imes, Dr. Jeannine Hanger, Dr. James Petitfils, Kristi Mclelland, Dr. John Walton, Dr. Michael Heiser, and Dr. Lucy, Peppiatt) By 2024, we hope to additionally offer special episodes from the renowned Bible scholars themselves that will help you understand the context of hard-to-understand stories within the meta-narrative of the Bible. We want to help you not only listen but hear what God is saying through the Bible every year and grow in your understanding, practice, and re-telling of the story to others as you learn more about how all the pieces of the Bible fit together to tell the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD with a God that is inviting us to participate in the story as it is unfolding today! Each episode is about 15 minutes and includes two to three scripture readings and a short commentary and reflection with suggested biblical scholar sources (e.g. The Bible Project and Premiere Insights) for this is our prayer ”that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ - to the glory and praise of God” (Phil 1:9-11). Some passages of the Bible and commentary reflections contain adult themes that may not be suitable for younger children - parental discretion is advised. Podcast music by Stockaudios from Pixabay.

Today we read Jeremiah 5-6, Ezekiel 30-33. We are reminded that choosing foreign "gods" leads to defective ways (e.g., oppression) and ultimately to foreign lands and foreign people. God cannot allow evil to endure, especially if the people are claiming to bear His name in live in His land. The people are reminded of the risk they run in not listening to the watchman, the prophet, danger is coming. The story tells us, that the warn...

Today we read Isaiah 61-63, and Ezekiel 20-21. God is acting in accordance with His character, He cannot let evil endure, the cup of iniquity is full, and He will act for the sake of His reputation and His purposes. Ezekiel is making it known that Israel is one of many and their sins took root in Egypt and He will respond to infidelity and apostasy, it cannot be allowed and He can use human enemies to avenge the sacred corruption a...

Today we read Isaiah 59-60, and Ezekiel 17-19. In this story, we are reminded that repentance and returning to God are intrinsically linked in the Hebrew language "shuva" return, and "teshuva," repent. The root in both words is to return. This seems to be the described pre-operative steps toward God's gift of a new heart and a new soul, to live.

Today we read Isaiah 57-58, and Ezekiel 14-16. Adult theme warning. We read a parabolic marriage metaphor with a dark allegorical twist (e.g. graphic storytelling imagery) - the marriage goes south with adultery (e.g. for pleasure) which is more frequently described as prostitution (e.g., for profit, gain, numbness). Then this story becomes different from the other similar parables we have read such as the Hosea story or even the S...

Today we read Isaiah 54-56, and Ezekiel 12-13. We are being reminded of the two responses to Jesus "the Servant." The first is to be humble and repent to receive God's blessing and become a transformed heart, a servant, a seed for the Messianic Kingdom. The second is to reject both "the Servant" and the servants of "the Servant." We also learn that "whitewashing" God's truth or prophesying with our imagination in a way that is drif...

Today we read Isaiah 47-49 and Ezekiel 8-9. We are being told to lift up our eyes, to remember that God can take us from the warriors that hold us captive or the idols that have our hearts. And Yes, God can take us, who have become plunder for the adversary, tested in the furnace of affliction, and retrieve us. We are reminded that God is the first and the last. He created it all and it all works together for Him. His glory will no...

Today we read Isaiah 44-46 and Ezekiel 6-7. In this story, God is making clear, turn to me (Yahweh), listen to me, remember me. I (Yahweh) am God, there is no other. There is none like me. In the Lord alone is deliverance and strength. God says I have made you. I will carry you. I will sustain you (even in your old age). I will rescue you. He brings His righteousness near, even though we are far away from His righteousness and are ...
