What the people say about us
Wonderful !
So so grateful God led me to Nate and his podcast! I’ve listened day and night and it is a blessing to hear Gods word spoken and explained so well. Gods calling is truly on you pastor Nate. Thank you for listening to his calling and your obedience.
A great resource
I use this series as a go to for beginning or returning to a book of the Bible. So helpful!
Excellent!👍
I’m having a hard time finding a solid church where I live that studies scripture chapter and verse and in context. This podcast is tremendously helpful for Bible study. I’m very grateful to have stumbled across it.
Great comfort
I love listening to through the Bible by Nate Holdridge. I use to listen to it with my beautiful son Matthew ( who is now in heaven ) We would listen to the podcast to get more clarity about the scriptures.
Reformed guy
I love your expositional study on scripture. I don’t always agree with you but I’m glad there is a solid biblical podcast out there that is committed to chapter and verse study of Gods word. I wish there were more podcasts like this.
BEST EVER
I love this podcast. I love how the narrator really summarizes the Bible in a way you can understand it. I love sleeping to this podcast so my subconscious gets the knowledge of the Bible. Thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to do this .🧡🧡🧡🧡
So Freaking encouraging
Dude does a great job of teaching in simple way but you feel his passion and you will be encouraged. So refreshing. Thank you Nate!
