We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus.

Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers.
