The Bible is Lit has two styles of episodes, Story Time and Talking Time. Story Time episodes are short paraphrases of Bible passages in the style of an awkward and overly earnest youth pastor. Talking Time episodes feature interviews where I talk about passages from Story Time episodes in depth with a guest cohost. The presentation may be occasionally silly, but it is rooted in years of academic study and youth ministry. And ancient texts do not connect with those who don't read or listen to them, after all.
