Jonathan and Heather discuss the numerous ancient near eastern flood accounts to explore which one holds the most weight and proves itself to be most trustworthy. They discuss the Epic of Gilgamesh in addition to other ANE flood accounts. They also ask the question, is God good by sending a world wide flood?

Hey! We're back! Jonathan and Heather are back for a brand new season of the podcast. Since our lives have gotten really busy we're going to be releasing longer episodes once a month. 

This month we discuss the Hebrew words associated with the weighing of Pharaoh's heart and the word play taking place in conjunction with Egyptian mythology. 

Thanks for being a listener!

Alright friends, here is where we are headed for the future of the show. Since Jonathan and I love bringing content to you all so much we're going to start the podcast back up but release episodes once a month with a longer 30-40 minute per episode format. 

We're currently in the middle of gathering our content and hope to have our first episode out within the next month!

Hey friends, we are going to be taking the next couple of months off from doing the podcast. We've been doing the show for four years. What a thrill it has been with all the tremendous guests we've had and all the fun content we've been able to put out. It has truly been a joy, but life has taken some different twists and turns and so we'll be taking these next two months off to discern what the future of the podcast is supposed to look like. 

We'll check back in with all of you in about two months! Blessings!
