Enlightening discussions that will change the way you think about the ancient Old Testament. The biblical accounts are not myth or legend; in fact they are more real than you ever imagined. Each month brings you Bible/science research results you won't hear anywhere else, and why it matters for you today. Your hosts, Steve and Jennifer Hall, present a collage of topics from the research work of Dr. Gerald Aardsma (The Biblical Chronologist), providing a desperately needed data-rich apologetic for the foundations of the Christian faith.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971"},"episode":{"title":"The Joshua Narrative: Archaeology, History, and You","slug":"the-joshua-narrative-archaeology-history-and-you","published_at":"2026-06-02T16:52:13+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971/the-joshua-narrative-archaeology-history-and-you","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bc-messenger-5648971","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/bcmessenger/2876081","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/148426/2876081/bcmessenger/2026_06_01_16_15_54_e4263ea8-93d8-481e-99d3-8a7bbda7cbf8.mp3","summary":"[Season 4, Episode 11] Instead of our typical back-and-forth discussion as the featured topic, this month we share a message given to a church congregation. Steve recently preached this message covering several aspects of the real-world history we find at both Jericho and Ai, when traditional biblical chronology is corrected. This was part of a sermon series in the book of Joshua. After the message was concluded, we decided it would be an excellent fit for The BC Messenger podcast audience as well. Given in his typical energetic and engaging style, this message demonstrates just how applicable and inspiring the historical, archaeological context is for these biblical accounts. Providing congregations with real-world information and data-rich apologetics equips them with the tools to strengthen their faith, answer challenges, and restore foundations that have been broken down.
