The Word Encounter with Mike Greer: Recent Episodes
Michael Greer
Come on a journey through the bible as we explore several chapters per 15-30 minute episode. We'll march through God's Word chapter by chapter from Genesis to Revelation with plain language commentary for easy understanding. That said, listeners are encouraged to read the scriptures on their own as we progress through the Word as we won't be covering every scripture. I use the Tony Evans Study Bible which is presented in the Christian Standard Bible version as my reference.
Please note, I am not a bible scholar, theologian, priest, pastor, or Bishop. I'm just just a guy who has read through the bible several times over the past 25 years and who's life has been dramatically impacted by this Word. As such, it is my heart's desire to present the Bible in a manner in which is easy to understand so that the wisdom of this Word and the love of Jesus will find it's way into the hearts of those who embark upon this venture.
