You know you want to.
The book of Genesis gives us an interesting detail about the serpent in the Garden of Eden that raises many questions.
Did snakes walk upright like a man in the beginning? Or did they walk on four legs? Was it even a snake?
We're talking about all that and some other interesting snake-like reptilians mentioned in your Bible.
Were the ten plagues of Egypt events that could be explained away naturally, or is there something just a little too supernatural about them?
While many in the past have tried to claim that God had nothing to do with these Egyptian plagues, or that He decided to accomplish them by keeping inside His own natural laws, we tend to think other wise.
Join us for some interesting discussion, Pilgrim!
Talking with others and making conversation seems to be a dying art. In this bonus episode you can listen to some priceless advice on how to build your interpersonal skills-- by two very social butterflies. Enjoy, pilgrim!

In the minds of the masses, Samson has been included in a fictional line-up of characters such as Hercules and Superman. Archeology and the Biblical narrative say otherwise.

Does the Bible’s teachings about giants seem a little far fetched to you? Dr. Jeff Miller (Apologetics Press) explains how the Bible backs up these claims by exposing the archeological evidence. What were they? Did they build the pyramids? How big did they get? Is the legend of Bigfoot somehow connected to these biblical monsters? Find out here on TBNB.
"Every time a bell rings...you'll just hear a ding." For fans of the Christmas classic (It's A Wonderful Life) you may be slightly disappointed to find out that angels don't get wings at the ring of a bell. In fact, the whole wing thing is just a faulty depiction. However, real angels are far more fascinating. Matt Wallin covers this topic in great detail and just might teach you something you didn't previously know. While this episode is much longer than our usuals, every minute of his lesson is worth hearing. Where did angels come from? What are they? What is their purpose? Are they still active today? Buckle up. It's a good-un.

You may have heard this one already, but this time it's got a new and improved flavor. I mean, Steve's story didn't need any help, but uh, the frame work did. Anyway ahem enjoy it, dear brother or sister or... family pet. May it bless you with many a grin and hearty chuckle.
