Archaeologist and author Amanda Hope Haley joins Ginny Yurich for a conversation that makes the Bible feel both more historically grounded and more alive. From sixth-grade “digs” and a life-changing biblical archaeology class to fieldwork near ancient sites and fresh discoveries that keep rewriting what we think we know, Amanda explains how archaeology doesn’t “prove” Scripture—it illuminates it, clears away centuries of assumptions, and restores the texture of the ancient world. They talk Noah’s Ark (and why the obsession misses the point), the surprising power of stone memorials, why traditions sometimes get mistaken for text, and how new finds—like the excavation of Magdala—can sharpen our understanding of familiar stories without shaking faith. Plus, an unforgettable Amish family story, a quick, mind-bending detour into space and the James Webb telescope, and a closing childhood memory under the stars that perfectly fits the 1000 Hours Outside message.
