Making Sense of Life Through The Biblical Story Podcast

About Making Sense of Life Through The Biblical Story Podcast

Our lives are stories that are best understood in the context of the Larger Story of the Bible. Garth Oliver leads us through an exploration the key developments of this Story as it unfolds through the Old and New Testaments. In the lives of each of the major characters—people like Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, the Disciples, and Paul—the Story is advanced. We will look at how the events of their lives build the Story, and move it toward its final resolution. Along the way, we will seek to understand the key issues of our own stories, the Life that is offered with its hopes and promises, and the threats to that Life that can take us out.
