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.

All right, this represents a teaching series I was a part of, a door of hope church.

When I served as a teaching pastor there, we took some of the most common vocabulary words in the

Bible and Christian faith and words that are also at the same time really misunderstood or

underused in our culture.

And this teaching we're exploring the biblical word covenant and how it's crucially important

for understanding the storyline, the architecture of the whole story of the Bible.

And it really only gets used in a small number of ways in modern English.

So there you go.

We're trying to recover this really important word and concept and play it.

This is illuminating and helpful for you.

There you go.
