The Boring Bible Podcast

In this episode Noah explores the more linear psalm 26 with a psalmist not afraid to say he's blameless. The psalmist cries out for God to save him from death and instead grant him life so that he may always be with the Lord and away from evil assemblies. Noah also discusses the three words for sin in Hebrew, the ideal of holiness in a Christian life, and how individuality places a role in Christian ministry.
