Basic Bible Podcast

Have you ever wondered how tell your pastor how much you appreciate him? Well, here are a few things NOT to say! For the next few weeks Pastor Ray Jewell and I (congrats, Ray!) go through a list of things that have actually been said to real pastors. Some, may have meant well, but it certainly didn't come out that way. So tune and learn just a little bit about to treat the pastor in your life.Recommended Resource:One Sentence That Pastors and Church Staff Hate to Hear by Thom S. Rainer

For many Christians, the King James Version of the Bible is only acceptable translation for English speaking people. But, is that what the translators themselves thought or even wanted others to think? Taken out of many modern KJV Bibles is the original preface written by those very translators. Thankfully Joshua Barzon has taken the time to share this preface with us and explore the thoughts and the intents of what was then a new controversial translation. In his just-released book, the Forgotten Preface, Joshua shares with us a forgotten piece of the puzzle many did not know even existed. He joins us this week on a podcast you won't want to miss!Recommended Resources:The Forgotten Preface: Surprising Insights on the Translation Philosophy of the King James Translators by Joshua BarzonThe Forgotten Preface Website
