[Season 5, Episode 1]

BioLogos recently published an article titled Why Did People in the Bible Live So Long? Of course, this got our attention.

After reading it, here is our summary of the argument:

1. The author begins by observing that the life span data contained in the early part of Genesis are quite surprising. (We agree at least on this one point.)
2. Could this be real, factual information about how long people lived? The author does not think so, in light of all that is currently known about aging today.
3. The best course of action, according to the author, is to examine other ancient genealogies to see how they might help us in understanding this information in Genesis. Various points are given about other ancient geneaologies (none nearly as complete or detailed as that contained in Genesis).
4. The author (who states that he "holds the Bible in high esteem") concludes that these people in Genesis didn't actually live hundreds of years. This information is most likely purely rhetorical and was never meant to be taken literally.

As you might imagine, we have a few things to say. It's astounding how some of the most precious data in the world is being thrown out, downplayed, glossed over, explained away, and even seen as embarrassing.

Get ready for a lively discussion!

[Season 4, Episode 12]

We have been deep into the wilderness lately—figuratively speaking. In preparation for a detailed video series on the Route of the Exodus, we have been compiling all of Dr. Aardsma's work on this subject. For today's podcast, we pull out several points of interest, some being brand new information for our podcast audience. Each point is presented as a trivia question.

1. What is Ezion Geber?
2. In what two locations did a "water from the rock" miracle happen?
3. Where did Israel spend most of 40 years in the wilderness?
4. Upon which mountain did Aaron die?
5. Upon which mountain did Moses die?

[Season 4, Episode 11]

Instead of our typical back-and-forth discussion as the featured topic, this month we share a message given to a church congregation.

Steve recently preached this message covering several aspects of the real-world history we find at both Jericho and Ai, when traditional biblical chronology is corrected. This was part of a sermon series in the book of Joshua. After the message was concluded, we decided it would be an excellent fit for The BC Messenger podcast audience as well.

Given in his typical energetic and engaging style, this message demonstrates just how applicable and inspiring the historical, archaeological context is for these biblical accounts.

Providing congregations with real-world information and data-rich apologetics equips them with the tools to strengthen their faith, answer challenges, and restore foundations that have been broken down.
