How much of your Bible do you actually use? If you're like most Christians, the answer is maybe a third of it. We know the Gospels, we've read Paul's letters, we might have a favorite Psalm—but the Old Testament remains a mystery wrapped in strange names and confusing timelines.

In this first episode, I share why I started this journey—from frustrated Sunday School teacher to building an app called OT in Context. We'll face an uncomfortable truth: the Pharisees knew the Old Testament better than we ever will, and they still missed Jesus. So what hope do we have?

More than you might think. This series will give you a framework for understanding the Old Testament—geography, history, archaeology, and theology—so you can finally find your bearings in the first two-thirds of your Bible.
