About the Podcast(s)
#ForTheHope’s Daily Audio Bible is (crazy idea!) a daily audio Bible reading. We read through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.
We also publish, on most weekdays, #ForTheHope’s short #AlwaysBeReady segment where we explore an idea that helps us connect Sunday morning to Monday morning. You have to subscribe via a podcast software like Apple, Google, or Spotify to get them, but you can find examples here and here.
