You haven’t heard Bible stories told this way. And you need to.

Justin does such an amazing job immersing you into the story, as though you actually lived it. Whether you’ve heard these stories dozens of times, or you’re hearing them for the first time, I can assure you that you’ve probably never heard them told like this. I found myself tearing up during some moments, and then covered in chills the next. Bible stories like you’ve never heard them. I need more episodes!

It's in the same vein as "The Chosen"

I'm an audiophile and I love this. I can just sit back and listen to this podcast. It gives new life and breathes new meaning into the little stories in the Bible. it's like your pastor sat down with you and put you in place and time. gave you the setup, created the entire world around you and then tells you the story that's encapsulated in a couple of verses and it has such a profound effect. You can't help but feel God right there with you. I can't give it higher praise. I have shared this on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, everywhere. I can try to get the word out about this podcast. it is the best thing I've seen in today's world. I wish I could say more.

Edge of Seat Old Testament !?!?

I'm one who has always barely tolerated reading or hearing stores
from the Old Testament. No one could ever make the characters come alive, or even keep my attention. Until now.
Not until Justin began weaving stories of murder, mystery, and mayhem could I listen attentively.... on the edge of my seat.
He combines suspense, a commanding voice and an intriguing mastery of turning ancient stories into ones fit for a modern day campfire.
Justin has an amazing gift. Gather round and see for yourself!

Gripping storytelling

Old Testament stories can be interesting and hard to relate to and are interesting but told by Justin in this way, they are gripping and intriguing and hit deep. So well done.
