The Bible OverBrew

The Bible OverBrew

Welcome to The Bible OverBrew. This is where Rachel Redeemed and Matt Searles take you through an overview of the whole Bible story in a year. Maybe like them you know the experience of wanting to read the whole Bible but getting lost in the details, ending up feeling discouraged and so you give up. That's why they've made The Bible OverBrew! Rachel and Matt can be some friends along the way, helping you get an overview of the whole Bible story... or an 'overbrew' some may say… The Bible OverBrew is a bit like a virtual book club but with a comforting brew, so bring your favourite hot drink and you'll get the overview of scripture. Each week there'll be a chunk of the Bible to read or listen to - as well as some key chapters to focus on if you're pushed for time. Then they'll chat through what you've read and how it fits into the big story of the Bible - a story that's all about Jesus. There are some prep questions and handy notes at mattsearles.uk/bible-overbrew and whether you're doing this individually or with a group, you may find those helpful. Please follow along "The Bible OverBrew" through Good News Broadcasting or wherever you get your podcasts. To find out more go to gnba.net
