From the publisher
Welcome to The Semi-Seminarian—where we talk about the Bible like grown-ups. Maybe you were taught the Bible as a child… or by folks who never really moved past children’s church themselves. That might’ve left you with a Vacation Bible School version of scripture in a world that demands something deeper. This podcast is for the ones asking honest questions, carrying quiet wounds, and still hoping there’s more. Around here, we wrestle with the text, laugh when we can, and tell the truth even when it stings. Because the gospel is better than you were told—and you’re not alone in wanting to believe that again.
