My best approximation for what it was like is like a human being with four faces and four wings that gleamed like metal.

Welcome to the Spoken Gospel podcast.

Spoken Gospel is a ministry that's dedicated to speaking the gospel out of every corner of

scripture.

In Luke 24, Jesus told his disciples that every part of the Bible is about Him.

In each episode, hosts David and Seth work through a passage of Scripture to see how
