G'day Mates! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!

Michael Bull is an Australian author, theologian, and graphic designer based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. He is the creator and editor of The Bible Matrix, a project exploring the literary and structural “DNA” of Scripture through chiastic and typological patterns that he believes reveal the unified design of God’s Word. Bull’s work blends biblical theology with symbolic interpretation, emphasizing covenantal structure and temple imagery across both Testaments. He has written several books, including Bible Matrix: An Introduction to the DNA of the Scriptures, and operates Bull’s Bible School, which supports biblical education for pastors and leaders, particularly in Kenya. His writings reflect a postmillennial and covenantal hermeneutic rooted in a high view of biblical typology and fulfillment.

For any fans of the global phenomenon series, The Chosen, this episode will be a treat for you! I sit down with Kirk B. R. Woller, the actor who portrays, Gaius, the Roman centurion.

Kirk is a classically trained American actor whose career spans more than three decades and over 170 film and television credits. Known for his roles in Minority Report, Poseidon, The X-Files, and CSI, Kirk has built a reputation for thoughtful, emotionally grounded performances. Most recently, he’s captured the hearts of viewers worldwide as Gaius, the Roman centurion in The Chosen. His portrayal brings humanity and depth to a man torn between empire and faith, culminating in one of the series’ most powerful redemption arcs. Beyond acting, Kirk is a mentor and teacher of “The Woller Technique,” helping actors refine their craft through authenticity and truth. In this exclusive conversation, we discuss his life in film, the making of The Chosen, and how both the actor and the character are navigating themes of surrender, grace, and transformation.

This was our first ever recording with releasing it to the public in mind. Soon this will become it's own podcast delivered to you through the Burros of Berea Network! More details to come...but for now... Enjoy!
