The World’s Bestseller

A Japanese Journey Through the BibleI'm Japanese and grew up in a culture where most people don’t believe in God.But during a difficult time, I found a blog that led me to start reading the Bible—and it changed everything.In this podcast, I share my journey with Scripture—honestly and gently, from a Japanese perspective.Originally recorded in Japanese, this English version is handmade: I translate, narrate, edit, and select the background music myself. 😅If you're curious what the Bible sounds like through fresh eyes and a different culture, I’d love for you to listen and follow.💌
