Retelling the Bible

I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.Copyright 2017 . All rights reserved.

  • 10.13 What Did Ezekiel See by the River Chebar?
    Jun 17 2026

    This is the story of Ezekiel's fantastic vision of the glory of the Lord in Babylon and what it meant to him.

    Ezekiel describes his vision in Ezekiel 1. This story also includes Ezekiel's vision of the departure of the glory of the Lord from the temple in Jerusalem, which is described in Ezekiel 10-11.

    The lament of the exiles is taken from Psalm 137.

    The story of Naaman that is referenced is found in 2 Kings 5:1-19.

  • 10.12 Moses' Meet Cute
    Jun 3 2026

    It seems as if Moses' first marriage is on the rocks, but look, there seems to be a new woman in his life, and she seems to be... a Cushite?

    To quote a good friend of mine, "Is that in the Bible?

    The story is based on Numbers 12:1-16. The reference to Moses and Zipporah's divorce comes from Exodus 18:1-9, and the story of the emergency circumcision is found in Exodus 4:24-26.
