Better Than Fiction Bible Podcast

(Genesis 22:1-8) An AI was asked to provide an episode description for Ep 112 of The Better Than Fiction Bible Podcast: In this episode, our hosts delve into the story of Abraham and Isaac from Genesis 22, one of the most well-known and frequently debated stories in the Old Testament. They begin by setting the scene and providing background on the characters and the context of the story. The hosts...

(Genesis 22:1-19) Join Nathan VanHorn and Matt as they discuss the shocking instruction God gave Abraham to sacrifice his child. From Mel Gibson, The Terminator, and the wisdom of Gandalf the White, find it all in today’s wizardless episode.

(Genesis 4) When the producer is away, the hosts will play. Think we go slowly through the the Biblical story? Guess what; we are going backwards! All the way back to Cain and Abel. Again, we see what the Bible has in store for us if only we are willing to chew on it.

(Genesis 22:1-4) Mountains and tests, we’ve seen both several times in Genesis. Every time someone comes down from the Mountain, it’s in failure. But today we introduce a story that ends with Abraham coming down from the mountain in victory.

(Genesis 21:22-34) We come to the end of Chapter 21, and we talk about the usual stuff. Things like: pickles, how big a crowd of 80,000 really it, talking fish, and tree-based scams. I promise all this has to do with the Bible and the faith of Abraham.

(Genesis 21:8-21) We've seen how important names are in the Biblical narrative, from the sons of Cain to Abraham. But what if I ask you what the first name given by God was? Like we've seen time and time again, God is more merciful than than we might think.

(Genesis 21) Divorce happens; it's painful, messy, nuanced and more complicated than we often paint it. We are tempted to see life's journey as an "either/or" problem, but we see here that God often works with a "yes/and" solution.

(Genesis 21:8-9) The last episode of the year! Thank you to all our listeners for a fantastic year of Biblical Discussions. This episode: a brother teases a brother, and the family is never the same.

When Matt is away, Gandalf and Nathan Vanhorn will play. Join us as we delve into completely unknown territory: The New Testament!

(Genesis 21:4) You've seen us do whole episodes on one verse, but have you seen us do our longest episode yet on just one word? Like we always say, there's always more, not less when it comes to the Bible. One word can make all the difference when interpreted by different people.

(Genesis 21) The gang's all here. We got: polemic, look, see, take, laughter, and above all a child with help from the Lord.

(Genesis 19:29-38) We've seen this before and it should come as no surprise; In the ancient world family lines are EVERYTHING. So, if this passage feels familiar to you, think about why. Nothing in this story is by mistake.

(Genesis 19:8) Today, things get more heavy and somber than what is typical of the show. It all boils down to one question: "How many Daughters did Lot have?" It might sound like an easy question, but as we have so often learned in reading genesis; there more (not less) to this story.

(Genesis 19) Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt; a result of an angry God, or a final rejection of rescue? We'll find out what the ancients thought about this whole thing. And also, Nathan sings a bunch .

(Genesis 19) How can Lot be called righteous? After all, he’s shown to do some shady stuff, yet the New Testament names him “Righteous”. Like with everything else we’ve seen there really is more (not less) to the story that meets the eye.

(Genesis 19: 1-22) The door is quickly closing on Sodom, and Lot makes one last attempt to save anyone who would be saved.

(Genesis 19:1-11) Zombies, Halo, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings....This is a Bible podcasts right? Blending complementary things can be fun. but find out what happens when some cross the boundaries that God has put in place. As we learn in this episode, God boundaries aren't there for no reason.

(Genesis 19:1-11) The Wizard-less trilogy come to an end, and the story Sodom and Gamora begins in Ernest. We begin with a simple question: Is it wrong to live in Sodom? “Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you”

(Genesis 13:8-13) What do the Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, and the Lorax have in common? Beats me, I wasn't there. I guess we'll just have to listen together.

(Genesis 18:22) Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him. Matt and Nathan Vanhorn delve into the story to answer a simple question: What is the benefit of a Saint's prayer?
