Bible On The Rocks is the podcast where a group of friends get together over drinks to talk about stories from the Bible. Each episode, one of us will tell a Bible story in our own words while the other group members chime in with their own thoughts and opinions. Our group contains a wide variety of Bible experience, which helps get different perspectives on the story. We're tackling stories from the Bible and giving our takes on what the stories mean to us. We encourage our listeners to pick up a Bible and read these stories on their own to see if there's any additional meaning that we don't cover. So we hope you enjoy as we explore the Bible with Bible On The Rocks.
