The Bible Matters Podcast is a podcast about Bible Teaching. Each week, we speak to Bible teachers from across the world to discuss the scriptures they’ve been teaching, the ways that they’ve been doing it, and the stories of the Lord using them to build his Kingdom.
All Christians are Bible teachers, and so we seek to equip all Christians in the work of faithfully holding out the Gospel to the world.
