Description
I believe the Bible is as true and real as this palm tree in my front yard and the area code (805) I live in and in our crazy, frantic world we need the truth and hope in it to live a peaceful life that pleases God and is fulfilling and happy for us. In this podcast, my goal is to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible so you can do that. Though these podcasts provide in-depth studies, historical background, and challenging applications, they are not heavy-duty, hard-to-understand theological lectures. I work hard to take sometimes difficult subjects and make them understandable. I'm Yvon Prehn, a lay teacher and a writer for Jesus and I have more than the podcast only for you. Go to www.Bible805.com for show notes, commentary, and resource links to videos, charts, teaching resources, and printables to help you bring God's Word into every part of your life.
