Hey everybody, I'm Tim McE 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.

We're exploring the huge multi faceted portrayal of God throughout this scripture as we

look at Yahweh's character and portrait and Hebrew scriptures and how in the New Testament Jesus

is depicted as the very embodied human presence of that God in human form.

The majority of this series has been exploring the person and the work of the spirit throughout

the pages of the story line of the scriptures.

In this last episode we're going to look at a phrase that appears in one of the four gospel

accounts about Jesus.

It's a phrase that Jesus uses called being born again or born of the spirit.

Born again is an English phrase that has come to take on a whole layer of meaning in the last 50 years

in American culture that that's its own thing, its own rabbit hole to get lost down.
