Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

Alright, well today we're going to begin a new mini series on the Strange Bible Podcast.

It's going to be a whole series of lectures and teachings that I gave on the New Testament

letter to the Hebrews.

For real time where I'm sitting right now, which is November of 2017, these are now looking

back five years ago when I gave these.

I was actually just brand new, had just moved back to Portland from the Midwest after finishing

grad school and was diving in as a new pastor at Door of Hope Church.

And it was just awesome.

So I've kind of going back and looking at these and introing them.

For this podcast, it's been a kind of a walk down memory lane, so many great memories

and so many great people.
