True Sleep (Scripture Meditation Podcast)

Religion EN ↓ 189 episodes

A podcast for when you can't fall sleep. You'll get comfortable and listen. I'll read from the Bible, pausing to ask questions to help you process and think through what it says. I can't promise you'll fall asleep, but there's a good chance you will. And it'll be good use of the time either way. I've been a Christian since 1990 and a pastor since 2007. I have a BA in Biblical Studies from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary's college and a MA in Christian Ministry from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
