About Amazed and Perplexed

The God revealed in Scripture is more astounding than we could ever dream and more peculiar than we could ever imagine. Amazed and Perplexed is a podcast that engages the Bible earnestly and reverently as we grapple with that reality. In every episode, we strive to honor and give dignity to God and to the men and women of Scripture. Amazed and Perplexed is hosted by longtime friends Jason Thornton and Connor Bryant.
