From serious theological discussion (including big words like antithetical parallelism) to tricking his Korean Mom into seeing a movie, Dr. Sam Won brings amazing depth of knowledge and insight to the podcast. He is a true "Slash": Pastor/Pharmacist/Professor.

For followers of Jesus, our "Bible in a Year" reading plans can can really bog us down and de-motivate us in the Old Testament... but it doesn't have to. While Christians are under a new covenant with Jesus, the foundational background to our faith is found in the Scripture of God's chosen people. We can revitalize our reading and our spiritual life by diving deep into the stories, poetry, wisdom and legal documents in the front of our Bibles.

Dr. Won, Adjunct Professor of the Old Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary, shares what the Hebrew Scriptures can teach us as Christians, how to unlock the richness of the text and why the OT is like Marvel Comics. He also talks about legalism, art and pop culture in a way that will keep you inspired and hungry for more.
