Devotionary is a new podcast that is designed to make the Bible accessible and applicable to everyday life. It combines the inspiration of a daily devotional and the insights of a commentary, but in language that is easy-to-understand.

The goal is to give you a solid understanding of the Bible’s overarching and unified message of redemption. We hope you enjoy.
