 Tough Texts is a podcast that tackles the most challenging and often misunderstood passages of Scripture.

With theological depth and historical context, Tough Texts helps listeners navigate Scripture with clarity, always pointing to the comfort of Christ crucified for sinners. Whether you’ve struggled with complex Old Testament laws, perplexing parables, or hard sayings of Jesus, this podcast equips you to read the Bible through the lens of grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone.2023 Christianity Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality
