Coming This Month: Season 2

What happens when the Bible and humanity collide? Not what you’d expect. Living &amp; Effective, a podcast collaboration between Christianity Today and the Christian Standard Bible, journeys through history, current events, theology and the human condition to uncover surprising ways the Bible accomplishes God’s plan in the world. By confronting these issues and more, this podcast series takes listeners on a journey through the Bible's role as living and effective in the world and challenges our assumptions about culture and Scripture.

Really enjoyed this podcast. Looking forward to more.

Give us more!

A profoundly informative and challenging podcast. I want more

Living and Effective

"That terrible, empty place has the seeds of life in it. Because you can't really have life after a death until it's based on the truth that the death occurred. Otherwise, you're pretending. The darkest place actually has hope in it. It is a hope not felt, but it is inherent in it." - Diane Langberg, author of Suffering and the Heart of GodLiving and Effective is a collaboration between CT Creative Studio and The Christian Standard Bible. Music by: Yons, Sweeps, and The Gray Havens.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
