Chad Bird shares devotional insights from deep research of the life of Jacob in his latest book “Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship.”

Dr. Pete Myers talks about his most recent project: A Hebrew Reader for the Psalms: 40 Beloved Texts. Pete read 40 of the Psalms comparing every word between two manuscripts, analyzing every word down to not just to the vowels but also the diacritical marks. This kind of research leads to excellent insights that he shares with us in this episode. Pete approaches his scholarship and teaching with passion, energy, and precision. Pete also has experience working in the Anglican Church and shares some pastoral thoughts at the end of the episode. WHERE TO FIND USPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsAudio Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qgQpz5xgv7u6y2Jg6ZBMrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_hebrewbibleinsights/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HebrewBibleInsightsWebsite: https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew9793/support
