Bible Stories

Bible Stories is built around a simple pleasure: two ministers telling biblical stories like the scenes still have heat in them. Matt Mullins and Todd Haymans move quickly, and the show benefits from that looseness. A conversation might start with Easter outfits, Peeps, Publix cookies, Texas rain, or a joke about strange pocket trinkets. Then the center of gravity shifts back to Scripture. Recent episodes follow the kings of Israel and Judah through ambition, compromise, obedience, repentance, and spiritual drift. Jeroboam becomes more than a figure in a royal timeline; he becomes a warning about trying to secure power through religious shortcuts. Asa and Jehoshaphat are treated with similar moral seriousness, where good beginnings do not erase the danger of bad alliances or misplaced trust. The Easter episodes focus on resurrection hope and the meaning Christians attach to the empty tomb. The angel episodes widen the scale, looking at spiritual conflict, divine intervention, and the mismatch between human strength and God’s power. The hosts do not keep the material at arm’s length. They retell the action in everyday language, pause to explain the theological stakes, and then push toward practical application. That pattern gives the show its shape. It is funny, but not evasive. It is conversational, but not vague. It can be deeply earnest one minute and oddly specific about candy or backyard flooding the next. The humor works because it comes from the same relationship that carries the teaching. The listener hears two people comfortable enough to interrupt, tease, recap, and redirect. Bible Stories suits people who want Christian teaching that feels vivid, friendly, and rooted in actual passages rather than abstract devotional language. It treats Scripture as a living story with consequences for leadership, family, obedience, and faith. Its best moments make old narratives feel immediate without pretending they are simple.
