Hello and welcome to the Dry Ground Podcast. My name is James Becknell and along with my friend Nathan Thompson, we want to spend some time with you exploring the text of Scripture to question what it had to say to its original audience and how we can apply it to our lives today. We think the Bible is amazing and wonderful. We are convinced that it guides us into a deep and abiding relationship with God. We also believe that it shows us who Jesus really is, what he is like and why he wants to have a relationship with us. We are here to take this journey through the Bible with you and, hopefully, to engage in a dialog with each and every one of you.
