Join Dr. Mark Ward as he speaks with leading Christian voices on tackling the critical mission of moving biblical literacy forward. Then enjoy a spirited, roundtable discussion on learnings, revelations, and key takeaways from the interview.

I am absolutely loving this podcast.  As a long-time user of logos, I am especially interested in hearing about the different resources that either Mark, his colleagues or his guest speaker(s) recommend.  The one suggestion I would have is that they capture somewhere in writing the recommendations as I am often driving when I am listening and if one of the recommendations interests me, I can’t write it down. This has become one of my favorite podcast.

Love this Podcast

I’ve given this podcast five stars before I’ve listened to a single episode because I’m very family with Dr. Mark Ward and Logos. I’ve read every post on Dr. Ward’s blog and his book and have listened to him speak at events. I’m also a user of Logos Bible Software and familiar with the folks lined up as guests on the podcast. All of the past works etc by the named above are excellent and have benefited me greatly and I know this podcast will be a continuation of excellent resources. I’m excited for this podcast and I know that it will be a blessing to you.
