Think Forever: Recent Episodes
Joe Mayers
Welcome to Think Forever! This is a weekly storytelling podcast, and in season one, we’ll be looking at lesser-known characters from the Bible. These are men and women who didn’t get a whole lot of Bible story “screen time,” but nonetheless had a massive impact. They are people who, at crucial moments in their lives, chose to live out their faith in light of eternity, even if it meant risking discomfort, danger, or death. They chose to think forever. After each story, we’ll have an interview style behind-the-scenes episode, where I’ll be joined by various guests to break down and discuss the stories we just heard. The idea of the show is that by digging deeper into the nuances of these stories, through the eyes of the characters involved, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of scripture itself.For more information, visit our website at www.ThinkForever.org
In this behind-the-scenes episode, Joe dives into our most recent story, "Fear God, Not Man" with its author, Nick Steward. Listen to the full story on the Think Forever Podcast.

I’m Joe Mayers, and this is Think Forever, a storytelling podcast where we take a deeper look at lesser-known characters from the Bible and church history. These are men and women who didn’t get a lot of “screen time,” but nonetheless had massive impact. They are people who, at crucial moments in their lives, chose to live out their faith in light of eternity, even if it meant risking discomfort, danger, or death. They chose to think forever.
Sometimes there are details in the stories we hear that we brush over as irrelevant because they don’t make sense to our modern ears. But to someone within the original cultural context, these details would have had huge implications! So after each story, we do an interview-style behind-the-scenes episode, where I am joined by various creatives to discuss the story we just heard. The idea of this show is that by digging deeper into the nuances of these stories, through the eyes of the characters involved, we can have a better understanding of the nature of God in the way He has chosen to reveal Himself to us through the Bible and the church.
Now, the genre of these stories should be considered “Historical Fiction,” because the narratives are imaginative depictions of events surrounding stories we see in the bible and church history. But, particularly in the case of characters who exist in the canon of scripture, I, and the other contributing storytellers take great care to ensure a high level of cultural and historical accuracy, as well as adhering to the scriptural intent of the passage from which the story is derived. My hope and prayer is that by listening to these stories, you will grow to have an even greater love for the depth and richness of the Bible. And that by seeing the example set by ordinary saints who came before us, you, too, will be inspired to think forever.
