Episode A Walking Tour of the Gospels
Do the words of the Bible ever just feel like words on a page? If we want the Holy Spirit to speak to us through Scripture, we need to understand the geographical and ancient cultural context it was written in. Join us for this week’s episode of Discover the Word podcast as we unpack the context of Luke’s gospel with our guest Jack Beck (host of Our Daily Bread Media’s video series The Holy Land and author of A Walking Tour of the Gospels)
