I first heard Matt Halsted as a guest on Mike Heisers Naked Bible Podcast. I was immediately impressed with both his knowledge and his maturity, but perhaps even more so his clarity in his teaching. I'm so glad I found his own podcast!

Description

In this podcast, author and professor Matthew Halsted helps listeners understand the Bible in light of its ancient cultural and literary context. These episodes dig deep into the world of Scripture, theology, interpretation, and religion. But don't worry: it's not all cerebral. Each episode comes with practical insights to help listeners walk away with something meaningful and applicable from a Christian worldview. Some episodes are standalone, while others are part of a longer series. Many episodes feature guests (e.g., authors and speakers) who offer their insights into a particular topic.
