The next episode of this podcast is scheduled to be posted on March 7, 2024.

After the first episode's overview of the Bible's last book, this one finds us journeying more deeply into Revelation.

If you would like to financially support me in the production of these podcasts, click the link below. Your support helps me buy materials needed for background and, eventually, additional equipment to upgrade the audio and video quality.

We're starting our "journey" through the 66 books of the Bible by starting...at the end, of course. Revelation will be the subject of our first study. I hope you find the podcast helpful.

This first episode may look a little ragged and I'm going to have find ways to share the documents I mention here somewhere on the podcast website.

The podcast is sort of a "retirement project" for me, having recently retired after 39 years as a parish pastor. (I'm an ordained minister of Word and Sacrament in the North American Lutheran Church.) If you'd like to financially support the podcast, helping to cover the cost of books I use to prepare for it as well as the purchse of equipment I'm just learning to use to produce podcasts that are clear and clean, you can make donations here.

If you can't support the podcast financially--or just would rather not do so--know that the three most important things you can do are PRAY (for guidance from God as I prepare and present the podcasts), LISTEN, and TELL OTHERS about the podcast.

In late January 2024, Route 66: A Journey Through the Bible, will begin. There will be new episodes about once every two weeks. I hope you'll plan on being with us. And tell your friends about the podcast, please.
